Restaurants in Darwin

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 three different pricing categories:
Expensive (over A$20)
Moderate (A$15 to A$19)
Cheap (up to A$15)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one with a half bottle of house wine or equivalent.

Tim's Surf & Turf

Price: Cheap

Huge portions, giant steaks, and no-nonsense fill-up food served in an unpretentious restaurant on the edge of town.

Telephone: (08) 8981 9979.

Pee Wee's Beachfront Café

Price: Expensive

Darwin's premier beachside eatery, located 4km (2.5 miles) from the city centre, is a great place to watch the sunset, with just about every table having a sea view, whether it's inside or out on the terrace.

Hanuman
