Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We ate at this restaurant as the one in our resort was closed that evening and the staff recommended it. It was only a ten minute drive from our resort and we liked the menu, both of us choosing vegetarian options. The restaurant was open air, surrounded by rainforest though parking spaces were not well signed - most customers were from the Heritage Resort where the restaurant is situated. Tables were well spaced and under fans. We ordered the mushroom leek cannelloni and the tofu with Asian slaw. The first dish was brilliant and came with a salad. The cannelloni was stuffed with vegetables and goat cheese! The second dish was not as flavoursome and on the small side. We also ordered steamed vegetables which were as expected. Service was very good and our food came soon after we ordered.

There were only four tables when we went for dinner, although when we stopped by at lunch there was hardly a spare seat to be found! We arrived when it was still light, so could enjoy the delightful creek-side setting with luxuriant jungle plantings. I had the turkish bread and dukkah, my partner had a salad which was incredibly fresh and huge! For main course I had the duck - expertly cooked, and my partner had the steak also cooked to perfection. We ended up taking home half the meal since the portions were so generous. My partner had a few mumbles about mosquitos, but as a native Aussie I wasn't bothered. Wonderful find in the Daintree.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. We had dinner on Easter Sunday sat by the lagoon. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu was good and the Cajun barramundi starter was delicious as was the roast beef special. There was even a chicken curry with papadom and mint yoghurt on the menu. The restaurant was nicely full with a good mix of clientele. There is even a happy hour 5~6 with wine and beer $5

How disappointing to make the trek into the incredible Daintree only to be treated with inhospitable manners. The restaurant was half empty but we were firmly told that guests who had not yet arrived would be served first and no, we couldn't even be given some bread! Mushroom arancini tasteless. Felt very unwelcome.

This is an excellent restaurant in a very isolated location.
Having experienced many of the CBD style fine dining establishments. I can firmly say that the Coral trout sweet potato gnocchi dish which was a special of the day was absolutely mind blowing. Great service from the staff and only the freshest of ingredients are used. We also stopped in for a lunch randomly and found the experience to be the same. Atmosphere is great and the surrounds are truly beautiful. A real gem in the forest. Will be back in July next year hope the Coral Trout is still on!

This restaurant was worth the trek down unfamiliar roads in the dark. The area one arrives into seems like a run of the mill tour group meal stop, but after passing through that, it opens up into a very nice, welcoming outdoor area. There was quite a lot to choose from on the dinner menu and we enjoyed our meals very much.

Hidden Gem in the Rainforest.
We decided to pull in for a bite to eat and we’re
pleasantly surprised at what we found. The restaurant was very well presented in the most amazing location. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We went for a swim in their private stream after lunch. Would highly recommend this place for visitors in the region.

Amazing dinner at this beautiful, tropical restaurant. The baked Brie was lovely. The Eton mess dessert with strawberry meringues was fantastic. Goats cheese canneloni - beautiful. I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you're visiting the Daintree for a very nice night out.

Booked this restaurant for my husbands birthday and after getting a bit lost as it was pitch black and no phone service we finally found it. It was a lovely restaurant in the grounds of a lodge. Really nice staff and lovely food and wine. Atmosphere was beautiful, sort of indoor/outdoor setting which was really nice.
Recommend booking here to eat if you are staying in the area.

A typical FNQ (Far North Queensland) destination. In the middle of the rainforest well off the beaten track. Great ambience in the open air setting with only a shade sail for protection. Loved it but it was a bit hot and muggy in December with the wet season about to start.Got to love the name and the play on words!

This has to be one of the most beautiful settings for a restaurant I’ve even been too! Surrounded by the rainforest, next to a beautiful creek (river when we were there) . It’s so lovely and really worth driving too even if you’re not staying here. Food was great, Barramundi fillet with vegetables and a lovely sauce. Man working there was great too.

I had a wonderful day at the Daintree forest, cape tribulations, and other marvelous spots. I went for lunch at the On the Turps Restaurant. I had amazing seafood, and the staff was super friendly and professional. The atmosphere was amazing. I wish I could go back and have one more dinner/lunch.
