Menus

The Boardwalk Social menu serves up some of the best sourdough pizzas and burgers in Cairns. But that’s not all — choose from classic fish and chips, Far North Queensland garlic prawns, sizzling tacos, and pub favourite chicken parmigiana (and we won't blink an eye if you call it a 'parmy' or a 'parma').
