Established in 2003, Moorish Cafe is one of Darwin’s most popular casual dining venues and is the winner of numerous culinary awards. Patrons can choose from a diverse range of culinary styles that deliver a genuine Territory experience with the inclusion of local produce such as wild barramundi, fresh Asian vegetables and tropical fruits in season.
Along with a full a la carte selection, the menu includes an extensive selection of tapas dishes that make an ideal light lunch for two or an easy menu alternative for large groups. Options include ceviche with local jewfish, Berber spiced kangaroo with tomato jam, beetroot labneh and zalook, an eggplant and tomato ragout. Mains range from classic Portuguese, Spanish and Morrocan dishes to vegetarian meals and local seafood specials.
Located in the heart of the city, the restaurant makes a great spot for a quick snack before going out on the town or as a venue for a late breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fully licensed with an extensive range of Australian wines, patrons can also enjoy a knock out selection of cocktails, premium beers, liquors, ports and digestifs. There is also real Turkish coffee and a sumptuous selection of desserts including passionfruit pannacotta with a mango and lime lassi and home-style Portuguese custard tarts.
