Frommer's Review

You could accuse this restaurant/bar of using weird and wonderful Aussie ingredients as a gimmick to pull in crowds, but the diners who have flocked here for the past decade or so know good food when they taste it. Daily specials are big on fresh local seafood, and the regular menu -- which changes often -- lets you devour the Aussie coat of arms in several different ways. Try salt-and-native-pepper crocodile and prawns with Vietnamese pickles and lemon aspen sambal, chargrilled kangaroo sirloin with a quandong chile glaze, sweet potato fritter, and bok choy, or maybe a Queensland ostrich filet with refried kipfler potatoes, crisp pancetta, and green beans. It's slick enough for a big night out but still informal enough for a casual meal. It's independent, not part of the chain that has a branch in Alice Springs. There's also a kids' menu.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
