JUICY STEAKS It has been a while since we have dined at the Exchange Hotel in Mossman but I remember it for its juicy steaks. We went on a Monday lunch time and found it was very popular. You can dine in the bar, the Blue Moon Bistro or outside near the pool. The steaks are still juicy. I had a Porterhouse medium rare with a mushroom gravy and it was superb. Denise had the steak sandwich and found it good also. There is a lot to like about this place. The steak came out medium rare exactly as I ordered it. I have been disappointed with other restaurants because not many can get it right like the Exchange Hotel can.  The staff here are on the ball. After a lot of dining in Port Douglas the difference with wait staff between the Exchange Hotel and Port Douglas is palpable.

We are always looking out for value when dining in Port Douglas and Dave's Takeaway fits right in here. What makes it even more interesting is the it is close to Rotary Park where there are picnic tables and a toilet. On 1 Aug 2019 we had: Cheeseburger $10 Small chips $6 and Spanish Mackerel and chips $11* * A word to our visitors about our seafood in the tropics. Firstly all seafood here is snap frozen when caught. Secondly the best fish you can buy is not found in tropical waters it is found in colder places like in our southern states - think King George Whiting. Avoid things like "Reef Fish" and Coral Trout. Sounds good but Coral Trout is not much and Reef Fish could be anything. Go for Barramundi or Spanish Mackerel up here for your best chance at a good piece of fish. I have fish and chips a lot as you can see from previous blogs. The best I have had recently is the Little Larder a couple of weeks ago and yesterday Dave
