    Great for lunch

    Recently had lunch here with a work colleague and we very surprised. Great food, light and well presented, great atmosphere outside next to the lawns and generally relaxing. Felt quite refreshed when I went back to work. A bit of an oasis in the city.

    A “must do” in Darwin

    A local we met at a market recommended this cafe. Would highly recommend. Located within the impressive Parliament buildings. Cafe offered great fare & excellent service, and as we were sitting outside, enjoyed great sea views. It was very pleasant.

    Hidden gem!

    This little cafe may be tough to find (at least with my sense of direction it was!) but it’s well worth the look - the food was excellent, super friendly service, and the location on the outdoor terrace absolutely stunning. I would definitely return and...More

    A bit expensive but worth it for the view and the quality

    This cafe is inside Parliament House, and as such, is frequented by people who work in the building and tourists who visit. However, it is such a nice little place and such good quality that I think it's worth other people seeking it out. The...More
