Dave's Takeaway - a Port Douglas institution. Continuing our Sunday breakfast survey we stopped at Dave's on 17 Nov 19. We opted for the Egg and Bacon roll with coffee for $10. This one's a winner, it was good all the way round and the price was superb. Brought to you by Cheap Eats Port Douglas

If you are following this blog you can see we have been doing a lot of Sunday breakfasts lately.  For years The Little Larder has been considered the best breakfast place in Port Douglas.  It's roots go back to Soul & Pepper at Pier 319 years ago. We got there on a Sunday morning at the advertised start time of 7:30am.  This was done to avoid the queues. We ordered Eggs Bennie with bacon, The Original Onesie with extra bacon and coffees. The coffees came first and were quite cool. By 8 o'clock the place was filling up and the two chefs were getting their orders out but the wait staff weren't getting them to the patrons quickly. It was quite noticeable. When we got our order the Original Onesie egg was cold.  Then I had a fight on my hands to eat the Eggs Bennie.  I know meals are put in stacks these days but I had trouble with the stack.  Firstly I dug the bottom Ciabatta slice out and put it alongside the one with everythi

I have wanted to go here for months.  The display of baked items were very enticing. We started with coffees and a shared sausage roll. The sausage roll was disappointing. Then the breakfast roll and where it all went wrong. The wait person asked if we wanted tomato sauce to which the reply was "yes" expecting it to be on the side like the sausage roll - see above. It wasn't, it was inside. I do not have tomato sauce on many things and I certainly do not have it with eggs or bacon. The breakfast roll was not good and at $36 way too expensive.  Try around the corner at Dave's Takeaway.

Mockas Pies are known for one main thing - they are full of food. We had the all day breakfast pie, a shared sausage roll and coffees. It was only just OK.

Breakfast Deluxe Our breakfast Left eggs benny, centre the deluxe and right eggs, bacon and tomato 2 lattes and a short black It was all OK, bit of a mix up with the service but OK The deluxe breakfast type is the fourth I have had in 5 weeks. All of them have had a small bowl with some sort of tomato concoction in it. Not one of them I found was good and some were terrible. I don't think the chefs taste them. 

We once did a blog on the best fish and chips in the Douglas Shire. The Newell Beach Takeaway came up fairly well with the previous owners. We were going past on Saturday after the Big Barra auction in Daintree Village and stopped for lunch. No Crowds Port Douglas in the distance We tried out the new menu. Seafood Basket $19.50 The fish (Spanish Mackerel) and chips were terrific, the calamari so so, the rest not so good. Best deal would be a piece of fish $8 and $3 chips for $11. Pepperoni Pizza with Anchovies $18.50 The pizza was OK but had a supermarket type base. The generous serve of Anchovies made it better and it would have been better still if the pepperoni was on top of the cheese. Going back? I would go back for the fish and chips which were very good and better than most I have sampled in Port Douglas lately.

We had one of the last meals at Betty's before it closed on Sunday 13 Oct 2019 Betty's was a very popular cafe.
