Setting:

Looking out over Wyndham Street, this busy restaurant is adorned with Aboriginal paintings, outback paraphernalia and tribal masks in keeping with the Down Under theme. The bright, open kitchen makes a compelling centerpiece and adds a touch of drama to your dinner.

Food:

Woomooloomoo is a carnivore’s paradise with all the usual suspects from an Aussie feast. No messing, man-sized steak tops the menu with Australian beef grain-fed and aged for two weeks for extra flavour. The 10-ounce tenderloin filet mignon is seared to perfection but if you want it anything other than rare, be specific – the default setting is on the blue side. There is a good a selection of seafood and the Tasmanian smoked salmon appetiser or fresh oysters with lemon, tabasco, shallot and red wine vinegar are a must try. Side dishes are large enough for two to share but save room for the Hell’s Gate chocolate cake or lemon and lime pie.

Wine:

With a decent cellar of Australian and New Zealand wine, you won’t go thirsty and the Sauvignon Blanc is especially good. Wines from Europe and the Americas are also available.

Service:

Staff are friendly and knowledgeable but somewhat erratic on busy nights.

Price:

Dinner for two with starters, main courses, side dishes and deserts comes to approximately $900, without wine.
