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.

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 .

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 .

Port Douglas & District Combined Clubs - The Tin Shed

Lunch at the Tin Shed With probably one of the best outlooks of any restaurant in Port Douglas the "Tin Shed" benefits from the new parklands at the waterfront created when the old buildings were demolished in 2012/3. 1 Jul 14. Meals were OK but lack the touches of a truly fine meal. Reasonably priced Chardonay at $23.50, light beer schooner at $4.60, Calamari with salad $14 and Beefburger & chips $15.50. Service is a bit better than visits last year. Photo: Marketing Daintree .
