Crustaceans On The Wharf Darwin Restaurants

Best Outdoor Dining

Never was a city designed for outdoor dining such as Darwin. With their deliciously warm, balmy nights it would be a great injustice not spending the evening outside, even if it is just to enjoy the cool sea breezes that instantly take the edge off a really hot day. Complementing the temperatures are the absolutely phenomenal sunsets that rip through the sky every evening, turning the bright blue skies into spectacular hues of red, orange and yellow as the blood red sun slowly sinks into the Timorese sea – a lightshow you could never tire of gazing at. Many of Darwin’s best restaurants are located right on the foreshore to take advantage of these breathtaking views. What better way to enjoy the sunset, than to be slowly sipping at a glass of crisp white wine while waiting for the Territory’s catch of the day to arrive at your table. Peruse the list of restaurants we have gathered together here to find the best outdoor dining this city has to offer.
