IronBar

IronBar is a Port Douglas restaurant with a dinner menu centred on charcoal cooking, smoked meats, steaks and seafood. Its signature section includes a whole barramundi cooked over charcoal in a Spanish Josper, served with lemon, miso sauce and tempura vegetables, as well as a substantial BBQ platter of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, buffalo wings, smoked sausage, corn ribs, coleslaw and onion rings. The platter is designed for sharing, making it a practical choice for groups who want to try several barbecue-style dishes together.

The starters cover a broad range of flavours and formats. Pacific oysters can be served with different dressings, while buffalo wings, burnt ends and smoked pork belly bites lean into the restaurant’s barbecue focus. Seafood options include coral trout ceviche, tuna tataki and a Spanish mackerel tostada, and the two-piece tacos come with a choice of pulled pork, fried barramundi or Mexican-spiced chicken. This gives diners the option of beginning with lighter seafood dishes, sharing plates or more substantial appetisers.

Steaks are served with truffle mash, charred broccolini and a choice of sauce, with cuts ranging from a 200-gram Black Angus eye fillet to larger Wagyu options. The main menu also includes slow-cooked beef ragu, a Wagyu beef burger, braised lamb shank, Daintree barramundi, St Louis-style pork ribs, Peruvian charcoal chicken and a Peruvian-style beef short rib. The menu’s mix of beef, pork, chicken and seafood means it can work for a mixed group, while the sides include choices such as roasted chat potatoes, cauliflower bake, mac and cheese, truffle mash, charred broccolini, corn ribs and chips.

Families are catered for with a dedicated children’s menu for those aged 12 and under, including a cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, spaghetti bolognese and vanilla ice-cream with toppings. Adults can finish with a Belgian chocolate brownie, crème brûlée or dulce de leche cheesecake. With its sharing platter, varied starters and broad main-course selection, IronBar suits group dinners as well as diners looking for a steak, barbecue dish or seafood-focused meal in Port Douglas.
