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. Also the fish and chips included salad or vegetables.

821 South Sauvignon Blanc retails for $13.99 with QANTAS Wine.

In the interests of good tourism:

Choochooz at the Marina

This is our first review since Covid and typically we have chosen "Fish and Chips" and a Beef Burger. Not always but very often. As a retired couple we dine out at lunch at least once a week. Choochooz did not disappoint; the burger was good and the fish and chips equally as good. Super Crisp stubby - $9.00 Little Angels Sauvignon Blanc bottle - $45 Bosworth Pinot Noir glass - $11.00 Angus Burger - $25 Battered Mackerel & Chips - $35 Payment surcharge - $1.50 Total - $126.50
