4 Best Restaurants in Darwin, The Outback

Found within Darwin's picturesque Botanic Gardens is Eva's Cafe, inside the Heritage-listed Wesleyan Church. Here you'll find excellent coffee, healthy smoothies, and freshly made juices. 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.

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. 

Named after the owner’s daughter, this whimsical waterfront spot along the Cullen Bay Marina serves pub-style favorites like burgers, pizzas, and, of course, chips, in a circus-inspired setting complete with carousel horses (some which can be used) and other retro-style, nostalgia-inducing decor. It’s a great place to take the kids and your young-at-heart friends.
