  • 1. Sounds of Silence

    Australian wines and Northern Territory specialty dishes like bush salads and Australian game are served at a lookout here before you dine on your buffet meal in the middle of the desert and enjoy an astronomer-led stargazing tour of the southern sky.

  • 2. Barra on Todd

    $

    Barramundi is the name of the game at this venerable and popular restaurant on the banks of the dry Todd River, part of the Mercure Alice Springs Resort. The beer-battered "barra" is a drawcard here, but there's also a wide range of authentic curries to try. Inside is air conditioned but most want to grab a waterfront outdoor table for the views.

  • 4. Bojangles Saloon and Restaurant

    $$

    Cowhide seats, tables made from old Ghan railway benches, and a life-size replica of bushranger Ned Kelly give this lively restaurant true Outback flavor. It's a touristy watering hole but well worth dropping by for a drink or two and taking a few snaps of the Aussie decor.

  • 8. Kulata Academy Cafe

Friendly and professional, serving coffee, fresh salads, and ready-made sandwiches which are perfect for a packed lunch for that day's adventures.

    $

    Bursting with charisma, this trendy laneway café has a slight hippie edge. It has all the feels of a Melbourne coffeehouse. And the coffee is deemed the best in Alice Springs. The menu here is focused firmly on fresh and healthy eats to grab and go.

    04-1748--6464

    Order steaks, barramundi, emu sausages, crocodile tails, or kangaroo loins from the server, then cook it to your liking Aussie-style on large barbecues. This DIY-dining option and its adjacent bar with live music is one of the most popular in the resort, and with barbecue being practically a national sport here, it’s easy to see why.
