4 Best Restaurants in The Kimberley, The Outback

Matso's Broome Brewery

$$ Fodor's choice

One of the most popular spots to eat and drink in Broome, this microbrewery in an old bank building overlooking Roebuck Bay serves bar snacks, burgers, steaks, and fish-and-chips. The fan-cooled bar is full of pearling memorabilia and historic photographs, although most people choose to sit on the breezy veranda or shady beer garden.

Pumphouse Restaurant

$$ Fodor's choice

Located on an old fishing dock jutting out into Lake Kununurra, this local favorite is the place to have dinner while watching the sunset, with live music most nights, great food and cocktails, and the chance to view local wildlife (yes, we mean birds and freshwater crocodiles) doing their thing. The fare is contemporary Australian, so you can expect to see steaks, pan-seared salmon, and risotto on the menu, while Sunday night is dedicated strictly to wood-fire pizza and tapas specials.
