One of Port Douglas Carnivale’s most celebrated dining experiences returns on Friday 23 May, 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 & 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 is 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.
“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.”
The sweet finish by Harrisons Restaurant will be a tropical trifle with white chocolate, passionfruit, mango and macadamia crumble.
Spencer Patrick, Chef Owner of Harrisons, said he wanted to create a dessert that captured the flavours and spirit of Tropical North Queensland.
“For this year’s Longest Lunch, I wanted to create something that truly celebrates the abundance of our region – a dessert that captures the essence of tropical North Queensland,” he said.
Tickets are $313 per person, with $10 from every ticket supporting Kids in Need of Donations (KIND). A charity raffle and auction will also be held during the Longest Lunch.
Guests will also receive a $10 discount towards the purchase of general admission or VIP tickets to Savannah Sounds.
