Beloved Port Douglas restaurant, Little Larder, hits the market

The spacious restaurant, nestled in the architecturally designed Portico Shopping Centre on Macrossan Street, has been a favourite among locals and visitors alike since 2004. 

Its prime corner location, just 300 meters from Four Mile Beach and 600 meters from Wharf Street, guarantees steady foot traffic and high visibility.

Set within a gorgeous tropical setting, The Little Larder attracts a mix of loyal locals, tourists from nearby resorts, and day-trippers from Cairns. 

Fully equipped & ready for growth

Listed by Property Shop Port Douglas, the sale of The Little Larder includes everything needed to step straight into ownership of this turn-key business. 

Spanning approximately 300m², the restaurant features a 6-metre wet bar, and seating for up to 86 guests.

High-quality kitchen equipment, including a turbofan oven, smoker, and multiple fridges, is included in the sale.

The Little Larder also holds a full liquor license, enabling service until midnight - an untapped revenue stream for future owners. 

Evening service, previously offered during holiday seasons, could be reintroduced to further boost earnings.

Opportunities 

This fully licensed restaurant offers significant growth potential, including the option to extend trading hours into the evening, further solidifying its reputation for superb food and service.

Enhanced local marketing efforts and the exploration of additional menu options are just a few of the many opportunities available to new owners looking to expand this well-loved establishment.

The business is already set up for success, with a reliable team in place; two full-time qualified chefs and four casual front-of-house staff are ready and willing to stay on under new ownership.

To ensure a smooth transition, the current owner is offering a 30-day handover period with training included.
