The Aviary Bar and Brasserie @ VOCO

Perched in the new VOCO Suites by IHG in the Darwin CBD, The Aviary Bar and Brasserie at VOCO brings a modern Australian sensibility to the Darwin dining scene with a distinctly regional accent. The kitchen champions fresh, regionally sourced produce and thoughtful cooking that lets Territory flavours take the lead, all delivered with warm Northern Territory hospitality.

By day, the menu showcases elevated yet accessible fare. Lunchtime might feature the Aviary signature steak sandwich, a chargrilled Wagyu cut layered with bush tomato relish on toasted Turkish bread, or a golden barramundi plate served over pumpkin purée and grilled cos.

As evening arrives, small plates such as truffle focaccia and crab arancini bites with WA crab establish an elegant mood before heartier main courses arrive. Highlights include a prime Angus sirloin finished with mushroom sauce and beurre noisette potatoes, as well as a comforting stuffed chicken ballotine served over creamy risotto and glossy demi-glace.

Beyond the plate, a contemporary and welcoming space mirrors the relaxed character of the city, making it equally fitting for hotel guests, travellers, and Darwin locals seeking a polished meal.

Whether meeting for a relaxed lunch or unwinding at dinner as the city softens outside, book a table, take a perch, and let your taste buds take flight!
