The menu at this award-winning waterfront restaurant makes innovative use of native Aussie fauna (such as salt-and-native-pepper-leaf crocodile and prawns, or wallaby fillet) and flora (wattle-seed, lemon myrtle, Davidson plum glaze). Tablelands steaks are cooked to perfection. Can’t decide? Order a tasting plate (from $108) or a platter ($30 to $76).
