Darwin Restaurant Guide
With an all-year-round average temperature of 30C and perched on the peninsula, the Darwin dining scene has a strong focus on waterside locations. Enjoy your meal while watching the spectacular multicoloured sunsets or, in the rainy season, watch the storm clouds rolling towards the mainland.
Locals meet at the large pubs and steakhouses of the area to unwind after a long day and enjoy succulent grilled meats with an ice-cold beer. This relaxed dining style is focused on modern Australian cuisine, with an array of delicious burgers and seafood platters that overflow with vibrant Australian produce. Darwin is also situated closer to Asia than it is to the rest of Australia, and this is reflected in its dining scene – with a strong Asian focus and a range of options available for every budget from cheap and cheerful local eateries to award-wining restaurants.
