In fact, all of Australia’s foods were pretty scary. If you wanted to eat out you’d go for fish and chips, and not even bother to leave the car. Fancy meals were nowhere to be found. At the most, you would order chips and gravy at the local pub.

In the 70’s and early 80’s the term “Australian cuisine” was an oxymoron. It conjured in the mind images of boiled beef, lamb stew, and meat pies.

Then there was a change.

Australia transformed into a gourmet restaurant laden country. There are few places in the world that have restaurants that can compare with the variety, quality and inventiveness of those in Australia. From little cafes beside the sea to the best of formal dining halls, Australia has something for everyone. New creations such as “seared kangaroo fillet with wilted beetroot greens and roasted onion” can now be found on the menu.

Even basic corner cafes, which once just served hamburgers and chips, now serve fancy Italian dishes and exotic fruit.
