We ate here whilst on honeymoon in Port Douglas. Im quite a fussy eater but was really impressed with the food. The duck was very tasty. I loved the aquarium in the toilets! Staff were friendly and the service was great. The best bit by far for me was the extensive cocktail menu. The bar man was excellent at making... More

Happily seated in the ‘downstairs’ air-conditioned room, we were impressed with the friendly service and with the menu presented. Efficient staff advised us of some additional menu choices and informed us that the salads in particular came in very generous portions. The wines we ordered were delivered promptly and efficiently and were of very good quality for a reasonable cost.... More

Ate here New Year's Eve and it was a delicious experience. It was a bit on the pricey side but when they serve good quality food with good presentation you can understand. The only reason I can't rate it is higher is that while the service was overall good it was not the most friendly or attentive at all times.... More

Zinc was recommended to us. It was everything they said, including the spectacular view in the toilets!!! The service was excellent and very friendly. The food was delicious, one of the best restaurants we ate in this visit. We would certainly recommend it to anyone, and will be returning next time we are in Port Douglas. More

We enjoyed a really nice visit - with great food and wine served by a friendly waitress. Not too expensive bearing in mind the location and quality of the fayre on offer. Not only the nicest food in Port Douglas but also free wifi. Highly recommended. More

This cafe has the best wifi in town as far as I know and it's free to customers, even if you only purchase a coffee or a soft drink. If you come here though, the food is a worth a try because it's really nice and fairly well priced by Port Douglas standards. Also, even if you don't actually need... More

Thank you thongman for visiting Zinc. We're glad that you made use of our wifi and enjoyed our 20,000 Lt saltwater aquarium. We have only just introduced wi-fi as a trial and response so far has been pleasing. As for our trading hours, there seems to be a little confusion, as Zinc is always open for dinner with meals available... More

We took our twin daughters to Zinc for their birthday. When we made the reservation, we asked if they could do something special for the dessert (sparklers etc) which they agreed to. A couple of days later, we reconfirmed this request in person and were told that this isn't a problem and they do this all the time. On the... More

The first night we tried to eat at Zinc, we waited a while to be noticed and addressed by any member of staff. Finally the maitre d came over and told us there was approx a 1 hour wait and to wait in the bar area. He didn't take our name and we saw others waiting and decided to try... More
