We had a meal as a family of five, including three children. The portions were incredibly large – truly representative of Australian scale! We shared a sirloin steak and kangaroo & crocodile. Everything was delicious and had no unpleasant aftertaste. 😊 The system is that you order food and drinks separately, pay at different locations, and then pick them up when they're ready. It felt more like a local restaurant than a tourist spot, and we were very satisfied with the authentic Australian experience. If you're looking for a hearty meat meal, I highly recommend this place!

A very large bar and restaurant with different dining areas and atmospheres. We went for dinner on their outdoor terrace where it was quieter and we could have a conversation. We went mainly to try the crocodile meat 🐊. We had breaded crocodile with vegetables, mashed potatoes, and sauce. Crocodile meat is similar to chicken in color and texture, but much milder or bland in flavor. For us, coming from Spain, it was quite an experience for a spectacular Christmas in Australia in 2025.
