​

Award Winning Head Chef Adam Ion and his wife Namhee welcome you to their new and ambient restaurant here in the heart of Tropical Port Douglas.

​

We want to showcase the menu Adam and his team have designed using fresh, local produce and pair it with delicious wines to tantalise your tastebuds even further.

​

Adam started his first job in a kitchen when he was 13 years old on the West Coast of Scotland; shucking oysters, chasing langoustines around the kitchen and he loved the passion and energy of the kitchen even at a young age!

​

Adam moved to Australia in 2010 and for the last 9 years has been Head Chef of a prominent Seafood Restaurant in Port Douglas where he and his team achieved “Best Seafood Restaurant in Australia 2016” which is an amazing accomplishment.

​

Adam has since then decided to go it alone to expand his passion of creating great dishes which has been a dream of his since he started out all those years ago.

​

Adam's wife Namhee is from Korea so they love experimenting with Korean spices and dishes; and they always encourage their team to travel and test and try everything.

​

Adam loves everything about the business he says he’s always loved the comradery that all chefs know comes with running a busy Kitchen and the rush of a dinner service! He’s now lucky enough to have started his own restaurant and brand and wants to create a place where his guests can come and relax whilst we cater for their culinary needs.

​

We opened the doors at Melaleuca on April 15th this year! We are loving showcasing our local produce and showing off the skills of Adam and his team in the kitchen.
