It’s hard to believe when a bakery says “Best Pies in [City]”.
But after a unanimous tipoff at a men’s bible study, I was intrigued to look for Meldrums Pies in Paradise (97 Grafton Street, Cairns) and found it the next day. When a group of 6 (Presbyterian) men can all agree, it must be a good sign!
When I got there, around 3pm – most of their famous pies were sold out already. Even their peas, mash and gravy were sold out. Again – another good sign!
I tried their pepper steak pie. Here were some of my thoughts:
- There’s real meat!
- I’m not feeling greasy 🙂
- No salt overload
- This pie is packed full of good stuff
- I’m very satisfied
- This lives up to the expectation
- I want to try the other pies ASAP
Costs under $6 per pie and you’ll be content and not feeling greasy (like 99% of the other pie joints around). Locals swear by this place.
Update!!!!
Went back and had a Steak, Chilli and Cheese Pie with the works (pictured). Great feed. Would go back again. Was told their best sellers were Pepper Steak and Steak and Curry.
