Modern artwork and smart furnishings set the tone in this welcoming restaurant and the owner and chef's Australian origins come across clearly on the kitchen side. Darcy's has developed a strong following for its innovative food at affordable prices with professional service to match.

Smoked salmon and guacamole with preserved lemon on a rice wafer and warm chicken, chorizo and sweet potato salad with chilli and coriander jam demonstrates a touch of novelty. Main courses bring in the gutsy barbecue kangaroo with beetroot slaw on bacon and potato rösti while those who wish to tread the familiar route could go for a lamb rump accompanied by pea puree and honey roasted parsnip spears.

The sight of delicious mouthfuls of canapés is a welcome addition to any menu and here at Darcy's there might be quail eggs with smoked paprika and sea salt, lamb koftas with tzatziki and raspberry cheesecake tartlets for desserts.
