Since 1995 this restaurant has been patronised by tourists and locals alike. It offers consistancy through owner/chef Bill Conway who was there from conception. As varous restaurants (and kitchen staff) come and go, the back bone of Salsa has not changed. The dishes on the menu are tried (not tired) and true, but listen to the staff as the specials can be truely that. In my humble opinion, the Thai Green Curry Spring Rolls on the lunch menu are the main reason I would return to PD. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent offering indoor and outdoor dining. The cocktails from the bar are sensational, don't try the old favorites, ask the bar staff for one of their own tropical creations....

The rib eye, great cut, well cooked and at this price, value. I took one of my friends who is a talented owner/chef of an awarded Port Douglas restaurant who commented on the quality of the beef and compared it to the price. The owner, Moustaffa has been in hospitality for some time and appears to have the chops. He served us a tapas tasting plate of his selections which was outstanding. Good range of beers, a pleasant small bar at the front overlooking Martin Street which is good enoungh to sit at if you are a walk in and are prepared to wait for a table and have a couple of drinks. Even the bar has attention to small detail.
