“Pleasantly surprised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 5, 2013

We actually went to Edge Hill to dine at another place but they were fully booked. We walked around the corner to find Linga Longa and were a little apprehensive as we had our 2 1/2 yr old with us. We enquired at first if they could do a kids meal and they said most definitely and were extremely welcoming!... More

“YUMMMMM!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 7, 2013

I have never been served a plate full of Moreton Bay Bugs! but I did receive it with Linga Longa. Food was fresh, service efficient and prices reasonable. There is nothing better than a small family run restaurant in the suburbs!

“Local Regulars”

My wife and I are regular visitors to Linga Longa, We recommend it to everyone. The menu is varied and interesting, there is always a willingness to mix and match on the rare occasion we feel like something different, but mostly we just like work our way through it. Elie and the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful. Great service... More

“OMG the food! I loved the people & the atmosphere”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 5, 2013 via mobile

The food is amazing & what a selection! I'm re-booking while im here. The staff are from all different parts of the world, they just made the whole dining experience brilliant. The variety and quality of food was amazing - I selected French & my dining partner had fresh seafood from the Qld reef. Loved it

Thank you for your compliment. We try to bring the best freshest seafood to your plate that we are lucky in Cairns to have access to, and did you know that two of the chefs in our kitchen were actually born and trained in France? The French pastry chef is making some really nice desserts. More

Just had a magnificent Greek style meal on the Sunday Night, the waitress knew her wines and helped us choose a great one.

Thank you for your comments about the Greek Feast. I take great pride and pleasure in what I do, and being Greek myself, I love to hear that people have enjoyed their Greek meal with us that we just do on Sundays. We think we do some of the best tasting lamb dishes which would have been the main course... More
