Alice Springs Food and Wine

Alice Springs offers food experiences that move easily from everyday meals to distinctive outback flavours. Traditional pub fare, Italian pasta and pizza, Thai, Indian and Nonya cooking, and relaxed café plates all have a place in the local mix.

For something more immersive, guided bush-food walks and cooking sessions connect food with Aboriginal cultural knowledge.
