This is Ela.

A waterfront restaurant on Trinity Inlet, Cairns — where the food is worth the trip and the view makes it unforgettable.

We’re talking slow-braised beef cheeks, fresh-caught barramundi, Diamantina steak, hand-made desserts and a w**e list that earns its place at the table. Lunch and dinner, seven days.

If Ela isn’t on your list yet, consider this your sign.
