Osprey's At Thala Beach Nature Reserve

While the temptation of lunch in Port Douglas was strong, we booked Ospreys at the last moment and we could not have been happier. Great view, great view friendly staff. We could not resist the Chicken Katsu Sandwich and the deserts that were not only a good tasting, but beautiful.

We finally enjoyed a lovely lunch here after meaning to visit on previous trips to Port Douglas. It was a short drive and then once we arrived at the car park, we called reception and they transferred us to the restaurant in a golf buggy, giving us an opportunity to see the resort and the lovely surrounds. As mentioned by others, the view from the restaurant is absolutely spectacular and the ambience was delightful. While the menu has a concise selection, each of our dishes packed a punch which great flavours and fresh produce. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we particularly enjoyed the trip back where our driver pointed out the islands and told us about the history of the resort. It’s a beautiful spot and we’ll defiantly return.

Whilst it's a 30 minute drive from Port Douglas, it is worth the shuttle trip to have a meal here. We went for lunch, and whilst the menu is not substantial, there was some great meals to choose. Fish of the day was Pan fried King fish in a lemon butter sauce. Deserts were excellent, and the barman made one of the best Gin Dry Martini's in the area. The views are great, and you can walk off lunch in the tropical rainforest surrounds.

Lovely resturant in a lovely setting. Would recommend getting there prior to sunset so you get the full experience. The cocktails were nice and the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. There is accommodation at Thala and Osprays is the open air resturant. We had a table at the edge of the resturant which gave a lovely view. The food was very nice and the cocktails were refreshing.

Absolutely beautiful!! The food was delicious, staff were excellent and the view was amazing. Will be back if we're ever in the area again!
