This is more than just a meal, it’s a complete experience. The passion that Ben and Rachel have for the farm to table concept they have built here is obvious. When you choose the Chefs Table experience, Rachel shows you exactly what you’ll be eating growing in front of you, explains how it’s grown, and has you try the herbs you’ll taste again in your meal. Seated around a communal table, you can watch as Ben assembles each dish, before explaining the dish to you as it is delivered. The flavours are nuanced, yet intense. The dishes, so beautifully presented, showcase the best of what FNQ and this home garden in particular offers. By the end of the meal, you truly appreciate the effort and labour of love that is required for this duo to deliver such amazing food. This was my second last “restaurant” meal of my trip to Port Douglas, and it blew me away. It was so good, my final meal paled in comparison despite the venue’s long held reputation. Don’t hesitate - book today!

A fantastic range of beers on offer to sample whilst overlooking the marina. An ideal venue for a relaxing predinner drink after a day's sightseeing. Choose a beer, or try the tasting paddle of 5 different ales. Friendly and efficient service, with well spaced tables but still plenty of spaces. So good we went back on our second day
