The Boat House Restaurant & Wine Bar - Port Douglas

Authentic Ship's Wheel at the top of the spiral stair case Shop 52 Reef Marina (upstairs) 44 Wharf Street Port Douglas 07 4099 4955 Long term locals will remember this venue as FJ's in the late '80's and later as Oscar's Restaurant. Now it is a swish restaurant and wine bar with stupendous views over the marina, harbour and rainforest clad mountains. We went for lunch on the third day: Hahn light beer ............. $6 Gin and tonic ........ $16 Cape Schanck Pinot Grigio ........... $36 Lamb Tartlet with cucumber yogurt, lemon and paprika ........ $6 Flash fried calamari with paprika, lemon and pink river salt ....... $14 Butter fried Spanish Mackerel with steamed broccolini and bok choy ......... $30 Mixed green salad with olive oil and balsamic dressing ...... $10 Total $118 Comments: The stand out was the Mackerel, it was simply gorgeous and was head and shoulders over the usual for lunch in Port Douglas. At $118.50 f
