About Melaleuca Port Douglas

Take in ocean views as balmy breezes rustle overhead leaves at Melaleuca Port Douglas on Wharf Street. Boasting a fabulous alfresco courtyard with three giant mango trees forming a canopy above diners, as well as a chic indoor restaurant space, this fine diner combines relaxed and casual service with a Modern Australian menu to set the mood for a memorable meal. Visit for lunch and delve into choices like tempura bugs to start, with candied red chilli and ginger, sticky soy dressed leaves, macadamia dust and lime zest; while those dining at night may be enticed by Panko crumbed whole barramundi, with Asian spices, Thai caramel, bean shoot salad and steamed jasmine rice. Vegetarians opt for gnocchi, mushrooms, pumpkin purée, toasted pine nuts, crispy basil leaves, truffle oil and Parmesan.

My wife and I celebrated my birthday here while visiting Port Douglas
The food and atmosphere was second to none, Nicky who looked after us was amazing, definitely a restaurant not to be missed.

Perfect Lunch Venue
We celebrated our anniversary and chose to have a selection of the entree menu as share plates. Six dishes plus a salad. Every morsel was delicious. The Oysters were yum! Must follow with their desserts too. Will be back!

Exceptional! If you appreciate fine dining, beautiful surrounds and attention to detail then Melaleuca is the restaurant for you!
One of the very best dining experiences I have ever had!! I enjoyed a 3 course meal with wine pairing whilst my husband had a 2 course meal. Barramundi, pork belly, oysters, scallops…..plus trio dessert! Delectable!

“The” place to dine in Port Douglas.
Service, meals, local beers and alcohol, all so well done here. The bugs were amazing, the barramundi fillet was one of the best we’ve had and the setting under the mango tree is just perfect.
