Take in ocean views as balmy breezes rustle overhead leaves at Melaleuca Port Douglas on Wharf Street. Boasting a fabulous alfresco courtyard with three giant mango trees forming a canopy above diners, as well as a chic indoor restaurant space, this fine diner combines relaxed and casual service with a Modern Australian menu to set the mood for a memorable meal. Visit for lunch and delve into choices like seared Tasmanian scallops to start, with maple roasted bush smoked bacon, sweetcorn purée and crispy leek; while those dining at night under fairy lights may be enticed by slow-braised lamb shank, buttered potatoes, minted pea purée, baby carrots and red wine jus. Vegetarians opt for gnocchi, mushrooms, pumpkin purée, toasted pine nuts, crispy basil leaves, truffle oil and Parmesan.
