Australia food & drink

Seafood is an integral part of the cuisine scene in all its shelled and scaled forms. Production of organic foods is increasing and available in the cities and larger towns. There are fine dining restaurants throughout the larger cities, particularly Melbourne and Sydney, while regional food markets and increasing numbers of food festivals across the states are a great way to sample local produce.

'Bush tucker' is food from Australia's endemic flora and fauna and can be lean and quite delicious; kangaroo meat in particular is growing in popularity since being made legal to trade to eat only in the past two decades. Barbecues and outside dining in parks and public spaces are also popular dining options.

• Sydney rock oysters.
• Barramundi (freshwater fish).
• Moreton Bay bugs (a shellfish).
• Macadamia nuts.
• Kangaroo.

Expect to come across both self-service eateries and restaurants with table service. Bistros, cafรฉs, family-style restaurants and pub lunches offer good food at reasonable prices. Most restaurants and hotels are licensed to serve alcohol. Some restaurants allow guests to bring their own alcohol and are called 'BYO' restaurants. Licensing hours in public bars are Mon-Sat 1000-2200, but most pubs are open until 2400; Sunday hours vary. Restaurants, clubs and hotel lounges have more flexible hours.

Not as common as it is in Europe and North America, nor is a service charge added to the bill in restaurants. In top-quality restaurants, 10% is usual for food and drink waiters, but is optional elsewhere. With taxis it is usual not to tip, but round up to the next Dollar.
