  1. A

    Aarli Bar

    Like a cosy trattoria with outdoor seating under frangipanis, Aarli Bar isn’t actually a bar – it’s BYO only. What it does have though is large portions of modern Med-influenced tapas as well as authentic wood-fired pizzas and, of course, its speciality, whole fresh fish (‘aarli ’ means ‘fish’ in the Aboriginal Bardi language).

  2. Point

    In a prime sunset-watching spot overlooking a jetty, this BYO place is Derby’s best, with delicious seafood. The barramundi and croc steaks are popular. It also does takeaway.

  3. PumpHouse

    Idyllically situated on Lake Kununurra, the PumpHouse's innovative dishes feature fine produce – try the rump with blue cheese and pine nuts, or the oven-baked pork fillet wrapped in speck. Watch the catfish swarm should a morsel (accidentally, of course!) slip off the verandah.

    Aarli

    Meaning 'fish' in Bardi, the Aarli is cooking up some of the most inventive and tasty titbits in Broome. The Med-Asian fusion tapas are excellent with a cold beer or chilled wine, and the pizzas are simple and scrumptious, but, really, you want to share the signature baked whole fish ($45) because it is superb.

    Black Pearl

    The Med and Mod-Oz cuisine at this stylish BYO eatery can be a bit hit and miss - as can the service. But when both are good, they're great, and when they're not, they're sloppy. Visit on a good day and score a table under the shade sails overlooking Roebuck Bay and you're sure to risk a second visit.

    Zanders

    Boasting a fantastic sunset spot overlooking the ocean, Zanders serves tasty seafood, excellent salads and a few international selections such as Moroccan lamb rump and prawns in red curry with coconut milk. There’s outdoor seating and a traditional fish-and-chips take-away next door.

    Wharf Restaurant

    Down at Broome's port you can settle back for a long, lazy seafood lunch with waterside ambience and the chance of a whale sighting. OK, it's pricey and the service is hit and miss, but the wine's cold and the chilli blue swimmer crab is sensational. Just wait until after 2pm before ordering oysters.

    Noodlefish

    This quirky alfresco BYO is doing fantastic contemporary Asian dishes from classic Kimberley ingredients. While the accent is on seafood, there's plenty to please all palates. Get there early, because you can't book and it'll only take cash.
