Last Wednesday, after a long couple of hours mooching around the streets of Cairns ostensibly running errands and paying bills, in the sort of weather that could be described as sultry, nay positively exotic, I walked into the cheery bustle that is Fusion Organics, and was so impressed by the brisk to-ing and fro-ing of the staff that I decided not only on coffee but lunch as well.
I ordered from a menu brimful of the sort of conscience-salving food we all know we should be eating all the time. My choice was a cheese and salad wrap with their home-made mayonnaise and a cappuccino. Simple yet exactly, when it swiftly appeared, what my taste-buds were anticipating. The coffee was good too - Genovese, hot and strong. I took away with me a piece of their most popular cake - a hazelnut torte, which, when I savoured it, was sweet and nutty with a slight meringue style crust - chewy perfection.
The menu promises fresh healthy food, a fusion of organic and other quality produce, and caters to vegetarians, people with allergies (gluten-free, dairy-free etc) and meat-eaters alike. I highly recommend it, particularly for those 'body is a temple ' days when one is feeling rather wholesome and angelic, or indeed for the day after a night of the most devilish of excesses.
Fusion Organics is located on the corner of Grafton and Aplin Streets, Cairns, and is open 9am to 5pm everyday excepting Sundays. A quick look at their website brings the happy news that they will be opening their doors at night from April next year.
Go there. Eat.
Bon Appetit.
