Great meal experience in Port Douglas

Excellent service, food and overall experience at Salsa last night. Entertaining and engaging staff (special mention to our Canadian and French waitresses). The food was exceptional, as were the drinks options for us all, from wine to virgin cocktails and fortifieds. Highly recommend for a...top quality experience, appropriately priced too. Thanks Salsa, we will be back.More

Just absolutely fabulous

Here we are a year later and Salsa didn’t disappoint. I rate this restaurant the best in PD, I’d go as far as to say one of our faves anywhere in the world. It’s not just the fabulous food and sensational cocktails…the staff can’t do...enough for you. From adjusting the chilli for my husband to suggesting a small pasta was enough. And to speak of the pasta…the red claw linguine deserves 5 stars. I wish I’d asked our waiter his name (the very tall, handsome, bald guy) because he made our night. Table of 8 and all felt the same.

Excellent Food

We have been here 3 times now, twice for lunch & dinner, the food is absolutely delicious, 10 out of 10. But what makes the difference is the hospitality & atmosphere, the staff are super friendly & bubbly & very welcoming, it’s not hard to...see why it’s constantly booked out.More
