Please note that table reservations are highly recommended for dinner at all times of the year.
Zinc Restaurant Port Douglas is a unique combination of restaurant, café and lounge bar....café by day, restaurant and lounge bar at night.
Zinc is located in the Portico building on the corner of Macrossan and Davidson Streets, the main corner of Port Douglas in Tropical North Queensland, Australia.
Zinc is at the Four Mile Beach end of the main street and right by a large number of the holiday accommodation apartments in the village of Port Douglas.
You will find Zinc open Tuesday to Saturday, from 9am until late...call in for coffee, cakes, desserts or tapas at any time during opening hours or join us for dinner from 5:30pm (dinner reservations are recommended at all times).
Every afternoon from 3pm until 5pm, we are offering our cocktail of the day at just $10 as well as Stella Artios by the glass for just $5.
Zinc's relaxed lounge bar also features a large range of wines by the glass, over 70 cocktails, over 110 spirits and liqueurs and a selection of cold beers on tap.....perfect for that pre-dinner drink or after-dinner nightcap, even if you have chosen to dine elsewhere.
Wondering about dress code? Because we are in the Tropics, casual is the name of the game in Port Douglas and at Zinc. And yes, Zinc is family friendly with a children's menu available as well as menu options for your not-so-young children.
For your comfort, during our summer months, tables in the air-conditioned area are available if you choose not to dine outside and enjoy the tropical atmosphere.
For couples thinking about getting married in Port Douglas (we highly recommend a ceremony at the beautiful St Mary's by the Sea church), Zinc's dedicated wedding reception areas are ideal for your celebration. Our in-house wedding reception coordinator, Danielle, is here to take care of your special day. Click here to learn more....
We look forward to welcoming you to Zinc during your Port Douglas vacation. Be sure to take a look at our aquarium....at around 20,000 litres, it is the largest privately-owned aquarium on the east coast of Australia!
Be sure to visit our two live web cameras! Camera 1 is located inside the restaurant which Camera 2 is located above Zinc and gives you a great view down Macrossan Street towards Four Mile Beach.
