Darwin's large Asian population means there is a good choice of spicy food around. Head to Mindil Beach Sunset market, held every Thursday, where you will find plenty of food stalls, many of them Asian, as well as arts and crafts and street performers. As for a trendy eatery precinct, try the Cullen Bay Marina, around a 25-minute walk, or a short taxi trip from the city centre.
The restaurants below have been grouped into four different pricing categories:
$$$$ (over A$30)
$$$ (A$20 to A$30)
$$ (A$15 to A$20)
$ (up to A$15)
These prices are for a three course meal for one with a half bottle of house wine or equivalent.
Pee Wee's Beachfront Café
Darwin's premier beachside eatery, located 4km (2.5 miles) from the city centre, is a great place to watch the sunset, with just about every table having a sea view, whether it's inside or out on the terrace.
