The Raw Prawn, Cairns
Another dinner decision, this time we went to the Raw Prawn, again on the Esplanade, for some seafood. We briefly contemplated the main menu but decided to stick to the two-course set dinner, where for $35, you get a choice among: 1 entree and 1 main 1 main and 1 dessert 1 entree and 1…
