flames of the forest
Flames Of The Forest - Mowbray River Rd 07 4099 3144
Flames of the Forest in the Mowbray Valley behind Port Douglas could be called flames in the forest because your meal is served under the canopy on the banks of the Mowbray River. I suppose you could call it bush tucker.
grant street
Grant Street, Food Precinct, Port Douglas
Port Douglas food precinct has countless tasty secrets and hidden delights. One of the best is Grant Street, a family oriented, alfresco strip with quick, quality bites and a fair slice of local character.

marina mirage
Meridien Marina Mirage - Wharf St, Port Douglas
Marina Mirage Port Douglas is Steaks, shakes, lunches that go on forever, late night beats, a legendary Sunday breakfast and an oyster bar with a view … Now called Meridien Marina, it’s either a mall or someone’s idea of nirvana. Okay, it’s the former, but in typical Port Douglas style, even the local mall has a view of Eden.
