Restaurant Ziva - 18 - 20 Macrossan Street

Eggs Benedict Poached Eggs, Spinach, Hollandaise Sauce, English Muffin with Bacon or Smoked Salmon or Avocado - $16.50 I am sorry I didn't get all the prices when we were there on Christmas Day. We enjoyed the breakfast and put it up there with the best in Port Douglas. A little while back we did a survey of breakfast places and put Cafe Fresq at the top. Restaurant Ziva is on an equal footing with Cafe Fresq so much so we have been back.

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 plates.

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 .

DAVE'S TAKEAWAY - 3/35 Macrossan Street

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
