Carpentaria Grill

Outback Northern Territory


Easily the best place to eat in town, the Carpentaria Grill does Aussie pub staples, but the best choice is always the barra – served grilled or battered. There are special nights: Monday is steak night, Wednesday schnitzel, Friday is all about barra, while Sunday means roasts.

The open-sided dining area is very typical for this part of the country, designed to catch any breeze.
