Great place to dine, service is impeccable and food to die for especially the seafood platter for two, highly recommend this restaurant
Started with the Carpaccio, melt in mouth then on recommendation the deep fried whole coral trout which was mouth watering.
My wife had the mud crabs, cooked to perfection and filling.
Finshed with coconut panacotta and coffee, perfect.
Our waiting staff were very attentive and went out of the way to go over menu.
Recommend lunch dining for the fabulous views.
Beautiful fresh seafood!
We just walked in a bit later and got a table and thankfully we did. Started with garlic prawns which were fresh and tasty in a great garlic sauce which was just perfect.
For mains the crusted barramundi was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing, and then the fish curry which was a rendang curry was also very tasty.
My family and I shared the haloumi entree, bucket of prawns and sashimi! We really enjoyed the sashimi (some of the best tuna I have had in a while) and the prawns were nice! Perhaps a bit on the expensive side but the service we had was fab!
Wowsers!!!
It’s changed location to compete with next door! And it does!
Minus George the grouper (which was sad because I was excited to meet him). On the inlets food is out of control!!!
I had the tuna steak (they don’t scrimp on portion size) and my husband had the pork belly.
So unbelievably delicious and beautifully cooked proteins.
Recommend this place. Make sure you book. She’s a popular beast!
Yum
The first time I dined at On the Inlet was at least four years ago in their previous location. At that time I was unimpressed with the service, atmosphere and the value for money, as the food was nothing special for the prices they charged.
Well, how things have changed! I dined there this week and it was the best meal I had in Port Douglas in my recent stay. Their new location, just off the main street, is fantastic and has a better vibe to it, allowing you to eat outside in an undercover area.
The prawns we shared as an entree were delicious and fresh and good value for two people. My main of macadamia-crumbed barramundi, potatoes and asparagus was beautiful, and my dining companion’s fish and chips was great.
The service was attentive, friendly and prompt.
Although the prices are still on the slightly expensive side, the food quality, service and ambience has improved considerably that I will definitely make it a regular dining stop when I visit Port Douglas again.
The best Mud Crab and Barramundi we have had in a long long time. The Singapore Chilli Mud Crab has a nice spice to it. The mud crab is huge and freshest ever. It comes with a side salad and chips. Good for 2 to share. The Barramundi has such good flavours to it! We were really impressed with how well it is cooked. The seafood in Port Douglas and at this restaurant is just out of this world. We had lunch here 2 days in a row!
I will agree with the general census that it is on the pricey side but given the location it is quite understandable. The view and the vibe is work spending that little extra on that special occasion. The deep fried trout is amazing 😉
Bucket of prawns (350gm) and a beer for $18 was a nice little combo in this expensive tourist town! We also had the mussels - the Moroccan style was definitely not short on flavour and quite overpowering, however the mussels were cooked beautifully which helped it out!
Best fish tacos! Bit pricey but for the location, I’d understand why. Fish perfectly battered. Generous pieces. I’ll be dreaming about the pico de gallo salsa for a while hereon in.
Great little place, away from the crowd which is nice.
Menu is essentially fish and seafood.
I ordered the sashimi plate which was fresh.
I had the fish tacos as a main. They were very good. I wished I had asked if the fish was deep fried, because I would have preferred grilled.
Service was great. Our waiter was very attentive and a really nice guy.
Dined here twice because it was so good! Their garlic bread as an entrée is a must- a crusty and buttery delight in four generous servings. All the seafood served was fresh and well cooked, the perfect diner for a seafood meal in Port Douglas. The curry was amazing, however I do wish they portioned out more rice and left out the crackers. Their fishy and chips - subject to market price, was well battered. The accompanying side salad was definitely great and simple. Seafood Laksa didn't have enough noodles and the fish inside was slightly over cooked. Loved the Chinese mushrooms in the dish, though! Coconut panacotts was also lovely, particulate the accompanying caramel. Soft and jiggly wiht freshly cut strawberries and orange.
Lunch was really good, the steak burger was very nice and it was a decent serving. The pork belly salad was delicious as well. Staff were polite and friendly. Glad you have indoor dining for the air con.
Last night in Australia dinner and we definitely picked the right place.
Excellent fresh fish dishes, generous portions, great service nice surroundings.
We'd tried to eat here before but couldn't get in, this time we booked.
Seriously good seafood. Staff friendly and attentive, making good recommendations (and good general conversation!)
I had the chill calamari which was wonderfully soft and very, but the real star of the show was the mud crab. This does NOT come cheap but honestly, it's worth every cent. There is no dignified way to eat crab like this, but forget keeping up appearances and enjoy it - you can afford it!! A visceral experience, messy but intensely satisfying.
A genuinely great dining experience. Would thoroughly recommend.
This place is pretty popular. We had the seafood platter for two and it was plenty for two. We had the crab with the Singapore chili sauce and the sauce is more tomatoey than chili spice. Service was great. If you want to just taste seafood, it's pretty good.
Delicious food but the floor team lacked information that the chef should provided to answer our general questions. Ambience was quiet at lunch time, pricing costs were average.
We were lucky to get a table on a busy Friday evening and ordered seafood platter for 2 which was super delicious!! Staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Highly recommended!
Had the best seafood lunch here. Hands down the best seafood restaurant in port Douglas.
The sashimi and prawns were fresh and delicious.
House smoked barramundi rillete was out of this world.
Pics- fish tacos and crispy pork belly salad, again was superb.
Lovely location, great and attentive staff. Thank you for a lovely experience!
