Sydney and Cairns/Port Douglas
We're leaving in a week for Australia. We're looking for a good coffee shop and good seafood (casual or fancy.) We have been to Tetsuya already. We like laksa and fish & chips. Our goal is to find the places that stick in your mind, whether it's street food or high end. A good coffee shop is a must!

Hi
For Port Douglas totally recommend either Salsa - great vibe, fantastic seafood jambalya, award winning cuisine and good prices - or "On the Inlet" -great seafood - a bit pricier than Salsa but amazing setting on the water and gets an incredible sunset view.

Sydney
Fish : Either Watsons bay or Le Kiosk at Shelly beach near Manly both offer an enjorably ferry ride getting there if its a nice day.
For Le Kiosk walkt acroos the esplanade to the other side of manly then turn right and and follow the water/path till you get to another sandy spot.
Reccomend the Beer Battered John Dory. Thats what was reccomended to me and I absolutley loved it even though Im not really than into fish.
Another alternative is Flying fish which alot of people usually talk about

In regards to coffee you will find many places, but in the below Time out review gives a good guide
In it I would personally reccomend Mecca, The Wall cafe, and Single Origin. Single Origin always seems to have alot of people around & the wall cafe is near to there if you want to do two in a row!
Cheers
