Spent some of our extra hours at Cairns Airport at Mangrove Jacks. The Cappuccino's and the Toasted Banana bread and the Chips were delicious. Well worth the stop.

Mangrove Jacks located inside Cairns. Departures terminal. Typical airport food. We shared a pizza. The red wine - Pinot Noir was really good

Food somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Pizza definitely tasty, but on a very mediocre base. Good portion of tasty fries.
