Enjoy exotic gastronomic Australian experiences that you should add to your bucket list for your next trip Down Under

Foodies in Australia must visit these places.

MasterChef Australia is a popular television show that showcases Australia’s diverse food culture. From the freshest and most delicious produce (think farm–to–table and freshly caught seafood) to the native Indigenous ingredients and the acclaimed restaurants that push the boundaries in culinary creativity, you will be well aware. Australia’s culinary landscape is unique in that it has a mixture of an open and curious approach to food, high-quality ingredients, and global influences while remaining true to its roots. Tourism Australia offers unique Australian gastronomic experiences that foodies can enjoy.

Western Australia: Wine and dining

Lovers of top-rated food and premium wines should make a run for Western Australia and specifically Margaret River and the surrounding regions of Bunbury and Pemberton. There are many local delights, including cheese, olives, fresh seafood, and wine from local cellar doors. Paddock-fresh produce can also be purchased from farmers’ stalls.

Get a taste of Australia with native ingredients from Melbourne.

There are many great ways to celebrate Australia’s indigenous ingredients, whether you go on a guided tour or eat at a restaurant. It’s a great way to experience traditional Australian food, or bush tucker, as it’s sometimes known. You can take a guided tour of the traditional culture to learn about the history and uses of ingredients such as quandong, Davidson’s plum, finger-lime, and lemon myrtle. Or, for a unique dining experience, visit Attica in Melbourne/ Narrm, where they focus on native ingredients such as Warrigal greens and kangaroo.

Oyster shucking at Coffin Bay

There are many unique ways to enjoy Australia’s fresh seafood. Take a culinary adventure to South Australia’s Coffin Bay. Oyster Farm Tours will have you swim to the sea for a shucking lesson. You’ll also taste fresh Angasi and Pacific oysters from the waters. Do you want to keep it dry? Get together with your friends and enjoy a plate of Coffin Bay oysters weighing one kilo (two pounds). You can also pair your dish with local wine and beer samples at the Port Lincoln Hotel.

Enjoy a taste of Australia’s barbecue culture.

Barbecuing is synonymous with Australia. Australians love the outdoors, good food, and good company. You can make any food on the barbecue, including lamb, beef, seafood, and even fish. Invite your friends, and you’ll have one of the best Aussie food experiences. Australian BBQ culture is ingrained at some of Australia’s top restaurants, like Firedoor in Sydney/Warrantee, where Lennox Hastie enjoys cooking seasonal produce over an open fire.

Darwin’s fusion-cuisine scene

Darwin combines South-East Asia’s northern neighbors and a thriving Indigenous culture. Darwin’s food & drink culture is about interesting fusion dishes, exotic flavors, and casual al fresco dining. Crazy Acres Mango Farm & Cafe’s mango smoothie bowls make it worth the 20-minute drive to Darwin. Pee Wee’s at the Point offers a coconut-crusted crocodile and house-cured crocodile jerky at Snapper Rocks.

Be open to the local food scene in Australia.

Australia’s dining experience is only sometimes about fine dining. You can experience dining like a local by going to a pub. They are available in most areas. There are many excellent pubs all over the country. But for an unforgettable night, go to a pub in a rural area. Birdsville Hotel, central Queensland, is the best place to experience genuine Aussie hospitality. It has been rightly called Australia’s most famous outback pub. The “parma and the pot,” also known as chicken Parmigiana and beer, is a must-order!

Fine dining in Canberra

The country’s capital Canberra is a paradise for food and wine lovers. Hidden gems and excellent local produce are waiting to be discovered by travelers. Book a special after-hours tour of the National Gallery of Australia with A Feast of Icons for the ultimate luxury. An expert guide will take you through the history of Jackson Pollock’s art and then serve you a delicious degustation meal. Capitol Brewing Co. is Australia’s only Aussie-owned B-Corp brewery. They offer delicious beers and mouth-watering hotdogs. Bar Rochford is an upstairs bar that focuses on fine food, exciting wine producers, and great music.

Hobart’s Ocean to Plate offers delicious food.

Direct flights to Hobart are a must for foodies looking for authentic Australian seafood. Hobart is known for its fresh seafood, cold-climate wines, and modern cuisine. It’s all about planning and booking a table at one of the fantastic restaurants that regularly change their set menus. We love the Sonny modern Italian restaurant located at Dier Mark. You can also choose Lucinda, its sister wine bar, for a more casual atmosphere. Fico has a delicious seasonal fair.
