A foodie's guide to Alice Springs

Cafes, bars, restaurants and breweries

Alice Springs is home to an eclectic variety of places to eat and drink. Enjoy a slice of Melbourne cafe culture, food from different corners of the globe and beer brewed right here in the Red Centre.

Page 27 Cafe

Tucked away in the Fan Arcade off Todd Street Mall, Page 27 Cafe is a must-do for delicious coffee and eats.

Page 27 Cafe has an emphasis on fresh, flavour-filled ingredients in all of their dishes. We love their fresh rainbow wraps, smashed avo (of course) and unique lunch specials.

Try one of Page 27's cold press juices to start your morning and watch the world go by as you sit back in the arcade seating area.


Once you're fed and watered, we'd recommend a stroll to the nearby Mbantua Gallery in Todd Street Mall to check out local Indigenous art.


Page 27 Cafe is open everyday for breakfast and lunch.

Since its establishment in 2018, Alice Springs Brewery Co has grown rapidly. After started out with a 50L pilot brewery, the the 500L system was a necessary upgrade.


Hang in the brewery bar and take in all the action or chill out in the beer garden.
