We had a fantastic dining experience at Zinc. To start, we shared the cob loaf bread and the lamb ragù gnocchi – both were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. For mains we ordered the eye fillet and scotch fillet with sides, and everything was cooked to perfection. The quality of the food was excellent, but what really made the night special was the service. The staff were friendly and attentive, and Monica in particular went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Cocktails were also on point and perfectly balanced. Great atmosphere, great food, and great service – we’ll definitely be back!
Going to the Zinc bar was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed it very much. The staff are very kind and they are very patient with their work. The atmosphere of the restaurant and bar is very beautiful and the lights are very very pretty. The area is very clean and fresh. The only thing that you may want to take into consideration is the price budget, which is very high and the quantity of food, which is quite low. Other than that this area is a top notch place and their food service and atmosphere is very pleasing. I highly recommend this are for anyone and I quite enjoyed this place myself.
We visited Zinc as a party of 6. We made a booking as that is a must do while dining in Port Douglas. The staff were attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. Everything we ate was good. It was a really nice atmosphere. We were seated inside at a booth. We appreciated the air conditioning.

Lovely place. Attentive and knowledgeable service. Went there using First Table. Eye fillet steak ands grilled barramundi with sides. Can not fault the food. Will return.
Upscale dining in Port Douglas. The food was excellent and the staff were amazing. Happened to walk in but I think reservations are a good idea because it is quite busy.
Great restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere, which offers great food and great service. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes that appeal to all tastes, among which were the spinach risotto, barramundi and the pork loin. The restaurant also offers a good dessert menu, from which I would recommend the Godfather 5. A big thanks to all the staff at Zinc for making my birthday dinner an enjoyable one!
Accommodating staff when you're looking for a little snack later at night. Fantastic food. Looking forward to having a full sit down meal which I've heard is superb. I love the toilet aquarium. Will be back. Thank you for your hospitality.
