Macrossan Street - value dining.

Some years ago we brought out a website called Port Douglas Cheap Eats because of the reputation of Port Douglas restaurants being expensive. Some are, but no more than equivalent eateries in Melbourne and Sydney. We even have some that are mentioned in surveys of the best Queensland restaurants. If you look at the last recent blog many of our restaurants here win awards.

There is quite a spread of cost associated with eateries in and around Macrossan Street from Dave's Takeaway to Nautilus and there are some specials offered to families from early dining which suits young children (Kids eat free) to lunch specials and BYO restaurants which really help bring the dining expense down even if there is a cover charge for bringing you own wine.

As retirees we need to watch our pennies but we still manage to lunch out in Port Douglas at least once per week. It can even be as simple as "Pizza or Prawns in the park".

All of this can be found on : Port Douglas Cheap Eats

Paddy's Irish Hotel - Macrossan Street

Fish and Chips Battered Mackerel, mushy peas, chips, salad & Tartare Sauce - $22 Salt & Pepper Calamari Lemon wedges - $18 Schooner Super Crisp $7.20, 18 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon $8, Rothbury Sauvignon Blanc $28 Paddy's is one of our favourite lunch stops and has an extensive menu. What we particularly like is that, unlike most restaurants in Port Douglas, they have some wines under $30. Still not bad for a good lunch - $83.20 Brought to you by: Port Douglas Budget Dining .

Ramada Resort - 316 Port Douglas Road

Our first lunch for the year. We have been here twice before and welcomed the new look furniture. Of course fish and chips (Tempura) for me - $18 With a very expensive bottle of wine - $45 That is too much when you are dining casually on plastic furniture and plastic plates. It was a good Sauvignon Blanc but really for a lunch it should have been about $25 not $45. The fish and chips were OK, I wish they would use Spanish Mackerel instead of Coral Trout but for $18 sit down it was OK. The Steak Sandwich was very good - $22 With a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon - $9 We considered lunch was good and when you think of places in this neck of the woods, Silkara Lagoons, Reef Resort and the Oaks Resort, the Ramada is the clear winner. More on the wine. A couple of days later we had the same wine at a restaurant in Mossman for $25 per bottle, not $45 like the Ramada and we were not sitting on plastic furniture and eating off plastic plate...
