Anything in Darwin?

I'm heading up to Darwin in a few weeks but haven't had much luck finding anything. And I really mean anything. I'm not expecting all that much, just hoping to avoid typical pub fare (unless it comes recommended or has a spectacular view).

    Definitely Hunuman (have the oysters its the house specialty) and the beef rendang.

    Parap markets on Saturday is brilliant. There's a lady there that makes the best paypaya salad I've had.

    Mindil Beach markets are amazing - although I've never tried the "road kill" food stand for some strange reason...

    Enjoy!

      I asked this on another board a few years ago, and these were the answers. Then the trip was canned, so I never got to find out for myself

        Isn't Hanuman in Darwin? BTG, just hit the market and eat al fresco. Too hot for restaurants!

          Thanks MrG. That sounds like the best plan. I'm going to be there for Easter Sunday so not sure if that is going to decrease my options.
