Overlanders Steakhouse

Overlanders Steakhouse on Hartley Street is Alice Springs's most established restaurant for outback game meats — the place to try kangaroo, camel, crocodile, emu, and barramundi in a single sitting if you are inclined toward novelty. The "bush tucker" menu has been drawing visitors for decades, and the cooking is straightforward rather than fashionable: grills, roasts, and hearty portions.

It is a tourist-oriented restaurant, unashamedly so, but the meat is genuine and the experience of eating camel in a bush-themed dining room in the middle of the continent is genuinely memorable. Good for families or groups who want a convivial meal with a sense of place.
