Nothing beats a long lunch
ONE of Port Douglas Carnivale’s most celebrated dining experiences returns on Friday (May 23) with tickets now on sale for ‘the longest lunch’ at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas.

Set along the resort’s iconic palm-lined boulevard, this long table feast will showcase the region’s finest produce and culinary talent, accompanied by live entertainment from ARIA-nominated DJ and producer Jolyon Petch.
Guests will be welcomed with Devil’s Thumb Distillery cocktails and freshly shucked oysters, before enjoying a progressive menu crafted by the Sheraton’s award-winning bars and restaurants, including Lagoon House Restaurant, The Daintree Bar and Lounge and Harrisons.
Each course will celebrate the distinct flavours of Tropical North Queensland, with a menu featuring tandoori lamb ribs, smoked Daintree barramundi, hot sweet Korean-fried chicken, local salami antipasto, reef fish en papillote and a signature tropical trifle finale.
Belinda Tuckwell, executive chef at Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas, said the lunch was a true collaboration across the resort’s kitchens.
“The longest lunch is such a special celebration of what makes our region unique – from the local produce to the incredible culinary talent we have here in Port Douglas,” she said.
“This year’s menu is a true collaboration across our restaurants, with each dish designed to showcase bold flavours, seasonal ingredients and the diversity of our tropical food culture.
“We have taken inspiration from the land and sea that surround us – from the Daintree Barramundi to Queensland pumpkin – and created a feast that’s all about connection, and a real sense of place. It’s going to be an unforgettable long table experience.”
Tickets are $313 per person, with $10 supporting charity.
