Not surprisingly, the food in Broome is distinctly oriental in flavour. The customary fast-food outlets and a couple of health-food shops are also prominent, while some hotels have their own very reputable restaurants.
Bloom's CafAŠ Restaurant (7.30am-late), on Carnarvon Street, is one of the town's best cafAŠs , with an airy jarrah interior, great drinks, snacks, meals and vegetarian breakfasts. Henry's , has coffee and meals with a view of the corner of Carnarvon and Short streets, while over the road there's the Shady Lane Cafe , off Johnny Chi Lane, featuring good lunch choices. Next to the Checkpoint Shell Service Station on Hamersley Street are a couple of takeaways : Noodlefish does Thai food and their soups are a meal in themselves. A further option, at 12 Napier Terrace, is the Sheba Lane Garden Restaurant , specializing in fish dishes. The Beer & Satay Hut at the Palms Resort (entrance on Walcott Street), is a good outdoor alternative to the pub food at the Roebuck Bay Hotel .
For a proper
restaurant
meal, the hard-to-find
Rosita's
(Tues-Sat from 5pm, Sun brunch 8am-2pm; tel 08/9192 7606), tucked away in Jones Place off Dora Street opposite Saville Street, serves Eastern and Western cuisine. For Chinese food,
Chin's
, opposite the Checkpoint Shell Service Station on Hamersley Street, is the least expensive of the good places, though the service and decor aren't up to much. With its verandah,
Murray's
, on Dampier Terrace, is a much better-looking place for Asian and seafood dishes.
Sanga's Thai Food
on Coghlan Street is good value and also does takeaway. Out at the fancy
Cable Beach Inter-Continental
resort there are no less than five restaurants to tempt you and turn your wallet inside out; the least expensive is
Lord Mac's
which offers ocean views with your burgers, salad and pasta. Closer to town,
Charters
, at the
Mangrove Hotel
on Carnarvon Street is the best of the hotel restaurants and also has views of the ocean. Other useful information
