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

A Bittersweet Dining Experience The restaurant boasts a truly remarkable culinary offering. The dishes we tried were masterfully prepared, with balanced flavors and impeccable presentations. The venue's ambiance is also quite welcoming, setting the perfect stage for what should have been a special evening. However, what could have been a memorable experience was seriously marred by service that leaves much to be desired. Problems began to pile up throughout the evening: after finishing our plates, we had to wait more than 15 minutes with dirty dishes on the table, something unacceptable for an establishment of this caliber. The situation worsened when they brought us the wrong dessert, different from what we had ordered, demonstrating a lack of attention to basic service details. But the final straw came at payment time: the cashier showed concerning incompetence in not knowing how to apply our discount, a situation that almost cost us an additional $100. It's truly a shame that such outstanding cuisine is overshadowed by such poor service. Despite the excellent food quality and pleasant atmosphere, the terrible customer service makes it impossible to recommend this place. I don't plan to return until they make significant changes to their service staff.! Pros: Delicious food Pleasant atmosphere Good location Cons: Extremely slow service Poorly trained staff Order mistakes Problems handling discounts

Our experience at Red Ochre was incredible from the second we entered the restaurant. Service from all staff was outstanding. The food also outstanding. Our daughter is a very fussy eater, however rated her steak a 9/10. Thoroughly impressed from start to finish, and definitely plan on dining here again next time we are in Adelaide. Fantastic works guys!

Had a lovely dinner booked through First Table app. The staff was extremely accommodating -- we informed them that we are in a rush and they got the food on the table very quickly. Nice food, lots of variety in the menu. Some dishes are more of a value for money than others, and while some are more interesting and exquisite while the others less so. Overall, a nice experience in a lovely location.

The food are overpricedand the quality definitelyneed to be improved. The steak cost $48 and it tasted like chewing gum, we ordered median rare and it came out be be well done. The restaurantrefused to change to dish as well. All the desserts werenot tasteful. This restaurant should be closed down already. DO NOT COME I have seen through some of the comments On google, looks like this restaurant treats their customer's reviews like trash and use every excuse to pass the buck instead of improving the quality and themselves. One of the worst ding experienceswe have ever had, we ordered some of the food and we felt like the quality were not good so we asked for the waiter the check with the cook, and they returned with the same plate saying it is definitely fine, I wonder did they taste their own food before? Again, DO NOT COME! WORST DINING EXPERIENCE IN ADELAIDE

Evening began ominously when our booking could not be found (was on the top of their list). Had to ask for the wine list, no choice of water. Food was served quickly but was of average quality and certainly did not reflect the price. View was pleasant behind cobwebbed covered windows. We left after the main course and had dessert elsewhere.

A nice restaurant with beautiful water view. Friendly staff, good & romantic atmosphere. We had the chef's choice to celebrate our anniversary. Lots of food, all were very delicious. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant overlooking the torrens river and Adelaide city landmark backdrop. The food was great and service good too. The hero of the evening was the pork belly entrée. Superb. The sirloin was also very tasty. Nice place for a special occasion
