Tjanabi @ Fed Square

Frommer's Review

If you want to get a taste of what Aboriginal Australians have been eating for thousands of years, stop in at Aboriginal elder Carolyn Briggs' new Tjanabi (it means "to celebrate") restaurant at Federation Square. Native produce including plants, fruits, and berries, matched with quality Australian game (kangaroo, wild boar, barramundi) and fresh steaks from regional Victoria are on the menu -- things like native pepper, lemon myrtle, roasted wattleseed, and saltbush leaves. There's a casual bistro outside, and a bar serving Victorian wines and boutique beers. The walls are adorned with contemporary Aboriginal artworks, in changing exhibitions. You can also book a 90-minute guided walking tour of indigenous Melbourne, which takes in the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, followed by dinner.
