Fusion Organics - 4 Stars

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.

Our reviewer over at kitchenslut had a recent experience of unusually poor service at Fusions!
Lets hope it was just an anomaly and that Fusions keeps up their standards ..........
