AQUA - Pullman Sea Temple AQUA - Pullman Sea Temple is where Roy Weavers and Sarah Cullen interviewed Jim Wallace for the Port Douglas magazine article about the early days of Quicksilver. The finished article makes interesting reading and by coincidence our spin on Quicksilver's influence on Australian shipbuilding was included in the Port Douglas & Daintree Discovery Guide app in 2011. Port Douglas & Daintree Discovery Guide app Back to the AQUA Restaurant. Having not dined there previously we tried it out. It is a long way out of town and a long way from the Macrossan Street Restaurant Strip. It was not very busy. Part of the restaurant was set up for a wedding reception later in the day.  The setting is stunning and we settled in ordering two battered Spanish Mackerel $28 each, one Bruschetta $12 and a bottle of  Chardonnay $33 or $101 for lunch. I knew that Jim was a great Fish and Chips man and i was interested as to why th...

The new extensions are a surprise when you first see them.   They are tasteful and I am looking forward to spending some time there. Dining is still on the deck overlooking Dickson's Inlet and the mountains beyond giving one of the best outlooks of any Port Douglas eatery. We had a Fisherman's Basket and the Fish and Chips with the Rothbury Chardonnay for about $70 all up. .

We had been looking forward to dining in this new quirky restaurant where Fins used to be. I thought the landlord would be happy to have a tenant and to see a new dining concept introduced to Port Douglas would be a good idea. I was somewhat puzzled by the concept and after lunching there yesterday I still am. The walk up from the underground car-park next to Zinc was far from inviting but we pushed on to Cyclone Sally”s and entered the restaurant. One thing that puzzled us on the outside menu was the cost of the tap wine. Tap wine has made it’s way into southern eateries providing good quality wine wine cheaply to patrons and owners alike. A win win situation if I ever saw one. Tap wine is bought by the glass, 1/2 carafe (500 ml) or carafe (1000 ml). 500 ml carafes are common at one of our leading restaurants and we enjoy them with lunch immensely at $13 per. The same size carafe at Cyclone Sally’s is $30 per. That’s right $30 for 500 ml of non-bottled wine. Back to...

2FISH 56 Macrossan Street Port Douglas Local prawns on baked Cabatta $18 Calamari $18 House White $32 5 stars What a wonderful place to watch the people go by on a day when Macrossan Street was buzzing with activity. We are not into the tourist season proper and yet there were lots of people enjoying the various dining experiences on offer in Macrossan Street. All this was on a Tuesday on a not brilliant day with the odd shower and lots of wind.  Promoting Port Douglas .
