Where to Eat Aboriginal Cuisine in Adelaide, Australia
"Located on the banks of the Torrens River in the suburb of North Adelaide, Red Ochre Barrel & Grill was the first restaurant to showcase only-in-Australia foods when it opened 24 years ago. 'Our most popular dishes are the grilled kangaroo, the fried crocodile fish cakes, and the pan-roasted barramundi,' said executive chef Ray Mauger, who sources from Indigenous co-op farms whenever possible. My entrée of grilled kangaroo (a gamy, lean meat with higher levels of protein and iron than beef) was flavored with quandong, a wild peach favored for its nutrition and medicinal uses. For dessert: a panna cotta of lemon myrtle and sunrise lime, an oval fruit that tasted a bit like a kumquat." - Veronica M. Stoddart
