M Yogo

M Yogo Review

Occupying a prime spot on the pier, M Yogo could be Cairns's best-placed restaurant. Here chef and co-owner Masa puts a deft modern spin on classic French dishes: enjoy his creamy seafood risotto with tiger prawns, squid, and scallops; roasted duck breast in orange sauce; pan-seared market-fresh fish; or premium grain-fed Wagyu tenderloin. Or tuck into a half-lobster as you take in 180-degree views of the marina, inlet, mountains, and ocean. Waitstaff can help you select the perfect match from a well-chosen Antipodean wine list. If you have room, simple desserts are equally pared back and delectable: Grand Marnier ice cream, mango mousse or sorbet, "opera" cake or cheesecake soufflé. The four-course set menu featuring a lobster main is good value at A$99. This is refined dining in relaxed environs, perfect for special occasions.
