    What do the people say?

    "The best place for a romantic meal in Kakadu: Mimi’s Restaurant, Cooinda...

    Of all the things we were expecting to be impressed with on this trip of a lifetime to Kakadu, the food has surprised us.

    I’m not saying only come to Kakadu for the food, but when you do come here, you might as well leave your billy tea and your damper kit at home!"
