The Boat House Restaurant & Wine Bar - Port Douglas

Authentic Ship's Wheel at the top of the spiral stair case

Shop 52 Reef Marina (upstairs)
44 Wharf Street
Port Douglas
07 4099 4955

Long term locals will remember this venue as FJ's in the late '80's
and later as Oscar's Restaurant.

Now it is a swish restaurant and wine bar with stupendous views over the marina, harbour and rainforest clad mountains.

We went for lunch on the third day:



Hahn light beer ............. $6
Gin and tonic ........ $16
Cape Schanck Pinot Grigio ........... $36
Lamb Tartlet with cucumber yogurt, lemon and paprika ........ $6
Flash fried calamari with paprika, lemon and pink river salt ....... $14
Butter fried Spanish Mackerel with steamed broccolini and bok choy ......... $30
Mixed green salad with olive oil and balsamic dressing ...... $10

Total $118

Comments:

The stand out was the Mackerel, it was simply gorgeous and was head and shoulders
over the usual for lunch in Port Douglas.
At $118.50 for a Thursday lunch we thought it a tad expensive and looking at the drinks bill, the gin and tonic was overpriced and we would have liked to have seen a house wine under $30.

The Reef Marina is bouncing back!

Both meals were excellent and a good choice of fish, forget the " reef fish " you see on some menus and go for Spanish Mackerel or Barramundi up here.

Choochooz at the Marina

  This is our first review since Covid and typically we have chosen "Fish and Chips" and a Beef Burger.  Not always but very often.  As a retired couple we dine out at lunch at least once a week. Choochooz did not  disappoint; the burger was good and the fish and chips equally as good. Super Crisp stubby - $9.00 Little Angels Sauvignon Blanc bottle - $45 Bosworth Pinot Noir glass - $11.00 Angus Burger - $25 Battered Mackerel & Chips - $35 Payment surcharge - $1.50 Total - $126.50
