The Surfy - Cnr Mowbray Street and the Esplanade Port Douglas

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. 

Newell Beach Takeaway - on the way to Daintree

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.
