Bar Doppio
Alice's locals duck down this laneway for huge and wholesome home-style breakfasts (eggs any style, pancakes), pita pizzas, burgers, pies and salads. It's also a favoured meeting place for well-made coffee or fresh-pressed juice, either in the shade of the covered arcade or inside with local-events fliers wallpapering the walls.

Bluegrass Restaurant
Let the relaxed staff guide you to a table or intimate booth in the lovely, low-lit interior of the historic CWA (Country Women's Association) building, or out into the leafy courtyard. The eclectic blackboard menu changes regularly to optimise seasonal produce, which always includes a number of veg options.
-
Casa Nostra
Choose your pasta and match it with a long list of classic Italian sauces and specials: from bolognese and pesto to a chef's secret-recipe sauce (with a kick that gives away the chilli). Thin-crust pizzas and mains dishes also arrive on the red-and-white-checked tablecloths among the plastic grape vines. BYO booze.
-
Flavours of India
There's no Bollywoodesque drama in the décor of this humble family restaurant. While covering old favourites (beef vindaloo), the menu includes tandoori dishes and a smattering of non-Indian meals (if you really must have a prawn cocktail). The long list of rice and breads shouldn't be overlooked to sop up every last saucy drop.
-
Hanuman
Expertly prepared Thai dishes are what brings well-heeled diners to this hotel restaurant. Teens in Mandarin-collared coats take service seriously, doing your pouring from a broad selection of wines and beers. A formal, low-light ambience keeps things sedate but steady.
-
Katachi
Sit in a low-slung chair to savour some of the Alice's better coffee while thumbing through a glossy and listening to world music playing at this sparse but soulful café. Sushi and sweet things (muffins, cakes and desserts) could entice you over from the adjoining clothing store.
-
Lane
The licensed Lane has most bases covered, with a stylish restaurant and casual outdoor seating in the hub of the Mall, plus a big menu featuring bistro dishes, smaller tasting plates and dishes in between. Choose from wood-fired pizzas, tapas, salads or mains like garfish with tempura veg.
-
Overlanders Steakhouse
A local institution for big steaks, be they buffalo, kangaroo, crocodile or camel. And why stop at just one? Amid the drover's décor (saddles, branding irons and the like) you can have four courses, including a platter of Aussie meats, the Drover's Blowout - best shared.
-
Red Dog
Join the throng at this Australiana-decorated place dishing out budget breakfasts (pancakes or the whole-hog 'bushman's breakfast'), burgers and steaks. The ice-cream and lolly counters usually have a child or three jammed up against them.
-
Red Ochre Grill
You know those gastronomic travellers' tales that make the listener wide-eyed with disbelief? Y'know: eating fried grasshoppers in Bangkok, trying snake blood in Thailand…well, this could be the Alice's answer. The gumnut-smoked emu is sure to make the folks back home squint. Camel, crocodile and kangaroo are infused with native berries, fruits and herbs. So there's no chance you'll say, 'It tasted like chicken'.

Sporties
It may not strictly be a pub, but with sporting paraphernalia adorning the bar (which serves cold beer on tap) it may as well be. Street seating provides pole position to spectate while hoeing into a focaccia or baguette, pasta, or a pub-style meat-and-three veg meal.
-
Thai Room
Perky Thai flavours of tamarind, garlic, basil and coconut milk make the perfect palate freshener in Alice's dry climate. The modest menu mixes its signature spices with a variety of meats or straight veg. There's no need to frock up, and the window display at the photo gallery opposite Thai Room makes for good scenery.
