A RESTAURANT WITH A DIFFERENCE

Located in Cairns’ popular dining precinct, Wild Thyme is a restaurant with a difference, serving great food with flavours from across the globe while promoting social inclusion, connection, & cultural diversity through their social enterprise and training programs. 

With a focus on food and community, the team at Wild Thyme have a strong commitment to improving the lives of others by providing over 300 pre-prepared meals each week to charity organisations to feed those in need through their FoCo (Feeding our Community ourselves) Kitchen initiative.

Food Community

By creating beautiful multi-cultural dining experiences, Wild Thyme provides opportunities for connection and the sharing of stories that build bridges of understanding between people and cultures as a foundation for a stronger, safer, more peaceful world.

Equal Opportunities

Founded by National Job Link, Wild Thyme is a space where people from different walks of life, abilities, cultures and beliefs are all given equal opportunities to come together in the common love of food to gain skills, build confidence and help their fellow humans.

Social Conscience

As a core value, the Wild Thyme ‘people over profit’ motto informs what we do and how we do it, both in our restaurant and with our social enterprise. 100% of our profits go back into supporting the community.
