Port Douglas Restaurants and Dining

(Port Douglas, Far North Queensland - QLD, Australia)

Port Douglas is a lively tourist destination, with a good and varied choice of restaurants and eateries. Holiday makers dining out in Port Douglas will be able to enjoy everything from lively pub grub to expensive gourmet food using only the finest of ingredients.

Seafood is regularly featured on menus at Port Douglas restaurants, being freshly caught from the adjacent Coral Sea and ranging from gold band snappers and yellow fin tuna, to prawns, oysters and lobsters. Also expect to find restaurants serving freshwater yabbies (a type of Australian crayfish) and barramundi fish.


For many a diner, the location is almost as important as the food itself, and oceanfront settings are especially desirable. If you are struggling to choose between the large selection of dining establishments, then purchase a copy of the 'Port:table Restaurant Guide', which is available throughout the region and features the latest reviews of local restaurants, bistros, cafes and takeaways.

Where to Eat

Places to eat are dotted all across central Port Douglas, with many good-value restaurants to be found along Ashford Street, Davidson Street, Dixie Street, Macrossan Street, Wharf Street and around the trendy Marina Mirage area. For seafood dining at its best, the On The Inlet restaurant on Inlet Street is not to be missed, as well as the Nautilus on Murphy Street, where past diners have included the likes of former US president Bill Clinton.

Those who favour Italian cuisine should consider a meal at the Bluewater Bistro on the corner of Mowbray Street and the Esplanade, which resides at the Port Douglas Surf Life Saving Club and comes with al fresco dining, right next to the famous Four Mile Beach.
