Barrons Bistro - Cairns

What an experience! I recently had the best Eggs Benedict and breakfast starter I've ever had since moving from Melbourne to Queensland. I even went to the kitchen to thank the staff personally—kudos to the chef! The ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. The eggs were just right, and they served the toast with butter on the side as we requested, along with extra bacon instead of mushrooms. The sausages were brilliant too! If we didn’t live on the Sunshine Coast, I would definitely make a trip just for this wonderful breakfast! They also offer convenient pre-made egg and bacon muffins for those who don’t have time before catching the train. A big thank you to the team at Barrons Freshwater Connection Station!

This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The prices are very reasonable for the generous portion sizes, and the staff is friendly and provides excellent service. I kindly request that you don't come here, as I want to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and comfortable setting—whether it's the natural outdoors or the charming, vintage air conditioning. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this place is. If there were six stars, this restaurant would definitely deserve them!

Charming café in a great location. The menu offers a variety of suitable options, and the customer service is excellent. While it can get busy before train services, it’s generally a wonderful spot for a meal or a coffee.

Excellent food and service. a nice touch to enjoy both in a historic train car next to the sweet water station. that's a rule for me.

We eat here regularly, the food is excellent and the atmosphere is great. Set up at the Freshwater Train Station you can dine on the original Platform or in a restored Carriage. They have a small bar for a beer or wine with your meal. Once you have been there it is hard to forget
