Todd Tavern

Despite having lived, worked and played in and around Alice Springs for more than 3 decades, at the moment I am loathe to recommend anywhere in the CBD as safe after sunset. We went to the Todd for a luncheon brunch and once inside and off the streets, the venue offered a great space for us to relax and enjoy a good meal and drink some wine, beer, and coffee, too.

The food here is amazing. We came here without really knowing what to expect and we have been blown away by the quality of food. The menu is very limited but the choices should suit everyone. We ordered lamb blackstrap, and kangaroo fillet, both with potato gratin. Both were excellent. Our friends ordered vegetables and chips and they were also very good. I also ordered the Chef Salad which was also exceptional. This is a lovely old pub a little out of the centre of Alice but still very close to everything. Easy parking at the back of the hotel. Lovely staff - what more could you ask for. We are back here in a week and will definitely come here for dinner. Please don’t be put off by the limits on the menu - I would rather choose from a small menu of excellent food than a huge menu of average of terrible food.
