Picture this:

The sun dipping below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of pink and orange as a gentle breeze whispers through the air. On the decks of Cape Adieu, laughter and clinking glasses mingle with the sound of the rippling water.

Opening Delights:

‘Amuse Bouche’ - A ‘Mouth Amuser’ with compliments from our chef.

An amuse bouche is a small, bite-sized appetiser served before the entree & main courses. Its purpose is to provide a taste of the chef’s style and set the tone for the dining experience. Typically, it’s crafted to excite the palate and introduce the meal with a burst of flavour.

At Cape Adieu, our amuse bouche features locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the vibrant flavours of the Top End. It’s designed to be a delightful and surprising treat, offering guests a unique preview of the creative and fresh dishes to follow.

From the Big Blue Paddock:

Enjoy some of the Territory’s freshest seafood featuring a beautiful selection of oceanic delicacies. This includes freshly shucked Coffin Bay oysters, celebrated for their exceptional quality and delicate flavour, directly from Australia's most renowned oyster region, as well as freshly caught and cooked NT Banana Prawns, presented with lemon wedges, seafood sauce, and cocktail dipping sauces.
