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:

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 .
