Restaurants in Australia

Australia has garnered worldwide fame for its food and wine experiences. With Masterchef Australia turning on the heat, more and more people are now aware of the wide range of culinary experiences that you can enjoy here. Australian food veers largely towards grills and barbecues – steak, seafood – and the like. Don’t be too surprised if you come across kangaroo or emu meat in their supermarkets. They’re well-loved delicacies and could be headed to the ubiquitous barbecue.

Restaurants in Australia can either be homely pubs where you can get tasty fish and chips or exclusive fine-dining affairs where you might need to reserve a table well in advance. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and wondering what to eat in Australia, you’ll be recommended the Barramundi at most places around here. Nevertheless, the choices of restaurants can seem daunting. As of now, there are no Michelin star restaurants in Australia. But don’t let that deter you because there are several award-winning chefs at the helm of some of the most fantastic restaurants in Australia.

Here are some restaurants you might want to try out while in Australia:

What better place to eat in Australia than one that affords a glorious view of the harbour? Located on the rooftop of Customs House, right next to Circular Quay, there’s delicious food to be had here. Seafood, modern Australian and even vegan options make this an excellent choice indeed.

If you’re in Victoria, then you must try out the Brown Brothers Milawa Vineyard for a glorious experience of dining in a vineyard. Casual dining is the approach here and it’s open only for lunch. Do try the goat curry and don’t miss out on the cheese platter here.

For more modern Australian food in a fresh and elegant ambience, head to A Touch of Salt in Townsville, Queensland. Located on the waterfront, there are lovely views to be had if you’re dining al fresco. Although known to be a bit pricey, this is a great fine-dining restaurant for a special occasion.

Asian Beer Café in Melbourne brings the freshest ingredients to typical Australian pub fare with an interesting East Asian twist. Popular among the young crowd for the DJ nights, it’s also a good place for some tasty and pocket-friendly food. Try the chicken Pad Thai here.

Not in the mood for fussy fine dining but still not sure of where to eat in Australia? Worry not. Head to The Catfish in Melbourne for a hearty dining experience. Be sure to try the Philly cheesesteaks.
