Emulating the sights and tastes of Asia, Paper Crane offers an Asian dining experience in Cairns like no other.

Taking advantage of tropical Queensland’s fresh produce, the modern Asian menu instantly transports you to the bustling streets of Asia, with incredible Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese-inspired dishes.

Aromatic Asian flavours are accented throughout the dishes, from the zingy ginger, Thai basil, chilli and shallot mud crab to the sumptuously sweet pandan sugar and coconut pancakes. Say no more!

The theatre of the kitchen extends to the dining room, where Sake and soy braised duck with Chinese pancakes, Crystalbrook Signature dry-aged Beef and Tempura-battered soft-shell crab, are shared and presented tableside. 

Thirsty? There are plenty of drinks to keep you hydrated, with wines from all around the globe and a well-rounded collection of beers and ciders. The signature cocktails don’t hurt either.

Neutral tones and raw surfaces are bolstered by strong design details, cementing this uber-cool Asian restaurant in Cairns as a foodie’s nirvana.
