GAME CHANGER - BYO - Coffee Club

The Coffee Club - Port Douglas
In what I would call a game changer the Coffee Club in the Port Village Complex, 11 - 17 Macrossan Street, is now a BYO restaurant.

Port Douglas has few BYO eateries and because of that dining here can be a tad expensive with some restaurants offering their cheapest bottles of wine for more than $40 each.

With Port Douglas having a big population of self funded retirees this may be an opportunity for us oldies to get out and about and enjoy some reasonably priced dining.



On top of all that The Coffee Club gives seniors a 10% discount.


Lunch for two with BYO wine.

We had Spicy Buffalo Chicken Strips & Chips $18.90 and Beer Battered Fish and Chips $17.90 with some Rumours Sauvignon Blanc $5.25 (Dan Murphy's).

$18.90 + $17.90 = $36.80 - 10% (Seniors discount) = $33.12 + $5.25 (wine) = $38.37

An equivalent meal in a licensed Port Douglas restaurant would easily be twice that.

Added bonus is free wifi for patrons.

The Coffee Club is to be congratulated and we wish them every success.

Port Douglas Cheap Eats goes live..........

Cheap eats Port Douglas community website app goes live and we are calling on those cafes and restaurants that made the cut to enhance their listings to help pay for the app. All it takes is a $1 per week. A representative from Cheap Eats today remarks: " We do not get paid for making Port Douglas a good place for visitors to come to. Just one restaurant could make a big difference for just $1 per week ." See Cheap Eats Port Douglas:  cheapeats.portdouglas.website .

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...
