There have been big improvements in the ambience of Darwin's restaurants in the last few years, and they've finally realized that whatever you're eating, sitting in an open-air tropical environment with a few palms flapping about is far more agreeable than inside an air-con box. For a city of this size, there's a wide selection of good-quality options for every budget - certainly enough to keep your taste buds busy. Adventurous carnivores can tackle exotic meats such as
kangaroo
,
buffalo
,
camel
and
crocodile
, though they're often more memorable running about in the bush than on a plate. Ironically, the climate makes it likely that
seafood
will have been frozen, and so might as well be from Cape Cod as from the Timor Sea. That said, anglers are drawn to the Top End hoping to catch
barramundi
, a bland tasting and overrated "fighting fish";
snapper
(aka Red Emperor) is much more flavoursome. Other useful information
