Best food in Port Douglas

Showcasing the best of France and the Mediterranean

Slow down and enjoy a relaxed afternoon of wine, conversation, and grazing on the best food in Port Douglas

Food is always best when shared and the Epicurean menu is a carefully curated selection of signature share boards featuring…

Authentic Handmade Charcuterie

Our terrines, rillettes, and pâtés are handmade in-house, using traditional methods in small batches and are the perfect match to artisan crafted cheeses and charcuterie. Meats used are sourced locally in the Atherton Tablelands wherever possible

House baked Sourdough Baguettes

Our Mother Dough is over 13 years old and is the base for our sourdough baguettes which are hand rolled and baked fresh daily.

Condiments

From authentic French mustards to tangy cherry or truffle onion compotes to bold olive tapenades and creamy French butter. Our condiments are handpicked to complement each grazing board.

Assorted accompaniments

Sometimes it’s the little touches that elevate a grazing board from good to exquisite. Spiced baby figs, braised red cabbage, anchovies, olives, or pickled onions or pears or cornichons are matched to suit each share board.

“Epicurean is an absolute highlight and Rohan and Marlene are the perfect hosts. Their platters represent such a delicious array of flavours. Their menu recommends wines for each platter but any wine chosen will perfectly compliment your grazing experience. Their venue feels like you've slipped into a European oasis for the afternoon. Always book ahead and allow yourself a few good hours to make the most of this gastronomic indulgence.”

Epicurean Port Douglas Reviews 

  • A white background with a few lines on it

    Long lunch and afternoon grazing....


    “If you want to sit and relax with great wine, delicious cheeses, pates, meats, breads and all the accompaniments over a long lunch with friendly hosts, then you must go to Epicurean. It's great that they are going against the norm of restaurants rushing people through a lunch service to cram as many in as possible, if you want to have a 3 hour lunch, you can! 

    Limited tables so booking is a must.”

    An Epicurean Treat


    “Warm and welcoming, just such a joy to see true professionals in action. Everything about this place is a 10 out of 10 and If I could only eat at one place in Port Douglas, this would be it!

    The concept is perfect for the warm weather; terrines, pate, all perfectly seasoned and served. Highly recommended by myself, as a former food critic of The Age, Melbourne.”

    The grazing style food, mainly platters, are primarily created in house with great terrines, pates etc. wine list is unique with great selection. This is a small, lunch service only, restaurant, husband (chef) and wife team who do it well. Look forward to our next visit.”
