My Favourite places to eat in Darwin
You can’t start an article talking about Darwin food without talking about laksa. It is an obsession here. Darwin even holds an annual Laksa festival. It is a month long affair. Many local businesses get behind it with entries such as laksa-inspired sausages, chocolates and cocktails. Try and rate their offerings using the app and attend the prize giving. All good fun.
You won’t go hungry, Darwin is well catered for on the food scene.
