Cafe Fresq — Restaurant in Port Douglas

When in Port Douglas (my favourite holiday destination) my friend & I always eat at Cafe Fresq many times, the food is great and the staff are always so friendly which would be difficult as they are always full of customers from young to the elderly, ordering from a wide variety of lovely offers on their menu & are caring enough to cater to the needs of those that are Gluten Intolerant - Celiac Disease & they also have vegetarian food although I am not sure about Vegan. They have a daily juice which is usually a mixture of 2 or 3 of the Beautiful Local Fresh Fruits available. Breakfast availability is all day, which is perfect for those late risers after a big night out & who doesn't love a magic meal prepared & cooked & served to you & you don't even have to clean or wash up. Followed by a lovely range of coffee's if you can fit one in or go for a wander around town and call back in when you can! Do yourself & friends & family a favour and call in, you'll find yourself a regular, like we do,...

Do yourself a favour and go next door to the bakery where the service is much better and you don't feel like you're getting ripped off. Surprised how busy this place gets considering. Overall this place is just 'somewhere to eat' but...

Very lovely staff! They were understaffed and upfront about it, meaning they weren't doing juices, smoothies or milkshakes. This was a little disappointing as I was hoping for a juice but they were honest and lovely about it. The service was attentive considering they were understaffed. Lovely outdoor setting. What brings the rating down is my food was only okay. Iced coffee wasn't very cold - I needed to ask for extra ice, and even then it wasn't great (milk maybe needed to be in a colder fridge?) & I had the spicy scrambled eggs with salmon. Eggs lacked spiciness and flavour, excess butter on toast. I would return for the service and give the food another shot to see if it was...
