Ela Drink and Meze

Best Known For

12-hour slow-cooked confit lamb shoulder, mint tzatziki, red wine jus and a side of chips.

Savour a delightful array of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, meticulously crafted with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients at Ela Drink and Meze on Marlin Parade in Cairns. This is Tropical North Queensland waterfront dining at its best, as you sip a signature cocktail and bask in gentle sea breezes to peruse a menu boasting authentic flavours and modern interpretations of Greek food. Join a lively lunch crowd for pilaf rice, marinated lamb cutlets and Romesco sauce; or begin an evening meal with grilled octopus, paprika, fava de Santorini, nduja dressing, guindilla and green oil. For a memorable main, don’t go past chicken souvlaki with pumpkin skordalia, labneh, hazelnut crumble, red chilli pickle and spring onion. Chocolate mousse, berry coulis and whipped cream make for a sweet finish.
