Some meals become part of the holiday memories.

At Epicurean, lunch isn't something to rush.

It's fresh baguettes from our 15-year-old sourdough starter, handcrafted charcuterie, artisan cheeses, beautiful wines and long conversations that stretch into the afternoon.

With seating for only 20 guests, availability is naturally limited, and reservations are often made well ahead of time.

If you're visiting Port Douglas, book early - and if you love your first visit as much as most of our guests do, you'll still have time to come back again.

Reserve your table before you arrive.

Some experiences are worth making plans for.

Epicurean is a boutique dining destination with just 10 tables, where every reservation is thoughtfully timed to create a relaxed, unhurried experience.

That intimate atmosphere is exactly what our guests love - but it also means tables can be booked weeks in advance during the busy season.

If Epicurean is on your Port Douglas wish list, make your reservation early.

We'll have the wine ready.

One of the things that delights us most is hearing guests say, "We wish we'd discovered Epicurean earlier in our holiday."

It happens more often than you might imagine.

Many visitors return for a second lunch, another beautiful bottle of wine, or simply to linger a little longer in our quiet corner of Port Douglas before heading home.

Epicurean is designed for slow afternoons, shared plates, good conversation and the kind of dining experience that invites you back again.

That's why we always encourage guests to find us early in their stay.

With just 10 tables and seating for only 20 guests each day, booking ahead gives you the best chance of enjoying the Epicurean experience more than once.

Book early… and leave room in your itinerary for a second visit.

Only 10 tables. Just 20 guests. Every lunch is personal.

Epicurean was never designed to be a large, bustling restaurant.

Our bespoke dining spaces allow us to create the relaxed French Mediterranean experience we love sharing—beautiful food, carefully selected wines and the time to truly enjoy both.

That also means availability is limited, and many days book out in advance.

If Epicurean is on your Port Douglas list, we'd recommend securing your table before you arrive.

We'd hate for you to miss out.

If you're visiting Port Douglas, make Epicurean one of your first lunch experiences.

Many of our guests tell us they wish they'd found us sooner—because one long lunch often turns into a second visit before they head home.

With just 10 tables and seating for only 20 guests, our intimate dining spaces fill quickly, especially during the busy season.

Bookings are essential.
