  • 1. Hanuman

    $$ | City Center

    Hailed as one of the best eateries in Darwin, Hanuman offers an Indian-fusion menu with a firm focus on seafood. Indoor seating is air-conditioned, with low lighting and a sophisticated feel once the sun sets. The alfresco seating is a great choice for lunch. This is the sister restaurant to the Hanuman in Alice Springs but the menu isn't the same.

The menu is packed with healthy eats that are suitable for breakfast or lunch. But it's perhaps the interiors that stand this café apart. It's a retro treasure chest.

  • 5. Kopi Stop

    $

    It might not look much from the outside, just a simple hole-in-the-wall. But there's a reason why there's always a queue snaking down the street. Kopi Stop is often seen as one of the most superior coffee spots in Darwin. There's a limited takeout menu that changes every day, but there's always something sweet and freshly baked. But the reason people come here is because of the bean.

    The menu might be tight but each dish is packed with the finest and freshest of ingredients. This is one of Darwin's trendiest cafés. There's a few seats to grab outside but most will grab their breakfast to go, with freshly baked treats and brilliant coffee the order of the day here.
