The Little Larder - Portico Building, 17/53-61 Macrossan Street.

If you are following this blog you can see we have been doing a lot of Sunday breakfasts lately.

For years The Little Larder has been considered the best breakfast place in Port Douglas.

It's roots go back to Soul & Pepper at Pier 319 years ago.

We got there on a Sunday morning at the advertised start time of 7:30am.

This was done to avoid the queues.

We ordered Eggs Bennie with bacon, The Original Onesie with extra bacon and coffees.

The coffees came first and were quite cool.

By 8 o'clock the place was filling up and the two chefs were getting their orders out but the wait staff weren't getting them to the patrons quickly. It was quite noticeable.

When we got our order the Original Onesie egg was cold.

Then I had a fight on my hands to eat the Eggs Bennie.

I know meals are put in stacks these days but I had trouble with the stack.

Firstly I dug the bottom Ciabatta slice out and put it alongside the one with everything else on it. I then tackled it. The knife was sharp but the crust was hard as was the bacon. The egg yolk and the Hollandaise sauce was going everywhere except on the Ciabatta which in turn was hard to cut.

It was quite a wrestle but it tasted great.

Eggs Bennie stack - $19

The Original Onesie - $12

We may return for lunch?

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...
