There’s more to Australian cuisine than meat pies and kangaroo burgers! Travellers of all tastes and budgets are catered for here – if anything, you may find it difficult to decide where to dine next. Will it be intricate ‘Mod Oz’ with harbour views? A no-frills pizza joint in the Perth suburbs? Or the best brunch of your life in a rural Tasmanian cafe?
In a country boasting such ample coastline, it’s no wonder that seafood features so heavily on Australian restaurant menus. More surprising, perhaps, is the variety of international eateries, organic options, and cosy cafes that wouldn’t be out of place in Europe.
