Odett's Cafe Cairns

Odett's Cafe is a casual breakfast-and-lunch spot on Lake Street in Cairns North, a short walk from the Esplanade and handy if you want a relaxed feed after a morning stroll with the dog.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables, not inside. The atmosphere is quiet and unhurried, which suits a dog that settles under the table. Bring your own portable water bowl - it is worth having on hand rather than assuming one is provided.

Good to know. The kitchen runs classic cooked breakfasts, pancakes, burgers and salads, with Italian Illy coffee, fresh juices and milkshakes. It opens early and tends to wind down by early afternoon, so it is a morning-to-lunch call rather than an evening one.

Getting there. Free street parking is available on Lake Street, plus an on-site lot. The location makes it easy to combine with a walk along the Cairns North Esplanade.

Nearby. The Esplanade walkways are a stone's throw away for a paved on-leash walk, and the Esplanade Lagoon parklands are within walking distance if you want to stretch the outing.

Come earlier in the day for the calmer tables and cooler footpath, and pick a shaded spot in the tropical heat.
