TROPIC • FOOD & DRINK

Twinkle Town
Vegan cuisine made for one and all. Owners Rachel and
Ethan have been operating for awhile, previously from a
little caravan in Trentham, Victoria. They’ve now set down
roots to open an eatery within The Beach Shack Co-op in
Port Douglas. It’s the south’s loss and the north’s gain, with
delicious, honest, quality, seasonal dishes what they’re all
4
about. It’s experimental, ever-changing and reportedly so
scrummy you’ll forget it’s all plant-based.
GO THERE: 29 Barrier Street, Port Douglas

The Sunroom Lounge
Sister establishment to The Convservatory Bar in
Cairns, The Sunroom dishes up delightful small plate
fare and grazing boards to match specialty wines,
craft beer and cocktails. Hospitality veteran and
wine connoisseur Ross Stevens certainly knows
what tickles the taste-buds. Among his favourite
pairings is the Cape grim beef carpaccio served with
wasabi aioli, wakami, sesame, chilli and spring onion
alongside a Santa Caterina Sangiovese from the
Chianti Region. Or perhaps you’d like the Daintree
chocolate mousse and Barossa Valley Gibson merlot?
GO THERE: Shop 1, 56 Macrossan Street, Port Douglas
