Darwin's large Asian-born population means there is a good choice of spicy food around. Head to Mindil Beach Sunset market, held every Thursday from May to October, where you will find plenty of food stalls, as well as arts and crafts and street performers. As for a trendy eatery precinct, try the Cullen Bay Marina, around a 25-minute walk, or a short taxi trip from the city centre.

The restaurants below have been grouped into four different pricing categories:
$$$$ (over A$30)
$$$ (A$20 to A$30)
$$ (A$15 to A$19)
$ (up to A$15)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one with a half bottle of house wine or equivalent.
Buzz Café
Asian-inspired décor, marina views, and an East-meets-West twist to the food make Buzz Café a big hit with the locals and visitors alike. Check out the one-way mirror glass in the men's toilets.
