The Lexus Long Lunch

Celebrate the magnificent outdoor lifestyle of Tropical North Queensland at the coveted Port Douglas Long Lunch.

This annual favourite event will once again be staged under the magnificent canopy of Poinciana trees in Market Park, alongside St Mary's By The Sea, with ocean views to Dixons Inlet.

Popular Port Douglas restaurants, Salsa, La Cucina, Zinc & The Mexican, in collaboration with guest chefs Talina Menzies, Louis Tickeram, Adam D’Sylva and Julian Hills, will present a delectable three course menu accompanied by a three-hour beverage package of Estrella Damm Mediterranean Lager, Jansz Tasmania Premium Cuvee and Chaffey Bros. wines from the pristine Barossa & Eden Valleys in South Australia.

The event is perfectly completed with live entertainment and our celebrity MC Alastair McLeod to lead the proceedings throughout the afternoon.

Additional Information

Seating is communal and allocated per table. We cannot guarantee seating changes so if you are part of a large group, we recommend purchasing all tickets in the one transaction.

Select your seat positions during the booking process. If you are a group of 3+ guests we recommend choosing a group of seats facing each other rather than in one line. Taste Port Douglas reserves the right to adjust seating when empty seats are left between diners.

The Port Douglas Long Lunch menu will consist of a four-option alternate drop entree, feasting/banquet style mains with accompanying sides and an individual plated dessert. Each course will contain vegetarian, gluten and nut free options, unfortunately due to the size and style of this event any further individual dietary requests will not be catered to.

Contact the event organiser if you are an existing ticket holder wishing to add on a return transfer from Cairns or upgrade to a Season Foodie Pass.
