A little bit of Italy, a little bit of Port Douglas, and a menu that changes with what the season brings.

At La Cucina + Bar, the table is where everything comes together. Fresh ideas, bold flavours, good w**e and the kind of food that makes you want to stay a little longer.
No two seasons look quite the same on the plate.

Behind the pass, our larder section is all about highlighting the raw beauty of local waters through two signature starters.
Our Coral trout crudo pairs fresh reef fish with citrusy ponzu and aromatic kaffir oil, cut through by smooth lemon curd and topped with caviar. Right alongside it, the Fraser Island spanner crab brings a softer, sweeter bite, layered gently to let the natural sweetness of the crab shine without being overpowered.
Two distinct profiles, one philosophy: premium Australian catch treated with Italian care.
Pull up a seat and start your night with the freshest ocean flavors.

See you tonight at La Cucina & Bar.

Whiting alla beccafico, our take on a Sicilian classic. Delicate whiting paired with fragrant lemon & garlic breadcrumbs, pistachio and sour onion, bringing a little texture, acidity and freshness to the dish.
Familiar flavours, but not quite as you remember them

It starts with the produce.
Our seasonal vegetables change throughout the year, depending on what’s available and at its best. They might find their place as a side dish or become part of one of our fish or meat dishes.
Not everything comes from down the road, but when great produce is grown and produced here, we're proud to put it on the menu.

Raw tuna. Big flavour. No rules.
Our take on Italian crudo, with a little international twist.
Delicate tuna dressed with chilli oil, soy and sesame, balanced with pickled shallots and fresh chives, then finished with the crunch of peanuts.
Fresh, silky, spicy, savoury and full of contrast. Simple at heart, but definitely not traditional.

There’s only one rule for a true Sicilian cannoli: fill it right when you order it.
We pair our crispy golden shells with velvety, artisanal Vannella Cheese ricotta for that unbeatable, fresh taste.
​Finished with ground pistachio and cherry maraschino, just like tradition intended.

Treat yourself today at La Cucina E Bar.

Pasta, fire, steam. The rest is just timing.
Squid ink spaghetti, prawns, garlic, a hint of spice, lemon zest, cherry tomatoes, white w**e, a touch of cream and our bisque.
One of those dishes that has become part of our restaurant.
Rich, savoury and full of the sea, with just enough chilli to keep things moving.

A signature for a reason.
