17-26 May 2013

For 10 balmy days and nights each May, the festival of Carnivale takes over the seaside resort village of Port Douglas offering a chance to flirt with life and engage in a kaleidoscope of free and ticketed events. There's music, arts, sports, food, culture and all styles of entertainment...and absolutely every reason you need to head to Port Douglas. Now 20 years old, Carnivale has grown from a street fiesta to a broad program which involves the entire community.

As part of the Carnivale celebrations, Zinc, in conjuction with Moet Hennessy, hosts an annual 4 course degustation lunch, accompanied by wines from Domaine Chandon. This year's lunch will be on Friday May 24th and is now fully booked and there is a waitlist. Details >>

During the 10 days of Carnivale, Zinc is also offering a three-course set menu featuring locally-sourced produce, available every evening.

Our Menus

Fresh local produce is our focus, featuring local prawns, bugs, Barramundi and other locally-caught seafood as well as superb beef, chicken, pork and duck dishes.
