Red Ochre Grill Restaurant Alice Springs

Interesting menu; crocodile ribs, kangaroo fillet. Relaxed atmosphere with inside and outside dining. Good pricing.

Great place! A must try when in Alice Springs. The regular menu had wine pairings and the daily specials menu had great additions, including the kangaroo carpaccio and crocodile burger (pictured). The kangaroo filet on the regular menu was very tender (also pictured). Easier to enter via Todd Mall than through the Aurora hotel on Leichhardt Terrace.

Not terrible. Not great. After being told what menu items had run out we ordered a beef schnitzel and a slow cooked Angus Scotch fillet steak. Then were told shortly after that it had also run out. So we were offered chicken. That's ok. It happens. The entree of chicken wings with a variety of sauces and Aussie damper with lemon myrtle butter arrived. The wings were crispy, well cooked and had that unmistakable doughy, floury taste of a buttermilk coating. Quite nice with the garlic cream sauce. The damper was $9 for two slices of what was essentially heavy toast. It was so bland that it needed salt on it, even with the butter. At the mains point of the meal, the chicken schnitzel arrived a full 7 minutes before the steak. Which was definitely not slow cooked. To be fair, I was the weirdo that ordered a slow cooked steak, rare. And it was very rare. Like seared beef on sushi style. So I just sliced it really thin and it was quite nice, though a little tough for an Angus Scotch. Overall nice ambience, attentive service, efficient and an interesting and quirky menu of Aussie and Bush style fusions of popular dishes. Definitely worth a look, but remember this is still a very remote town so keep your expectations within that context.

Poor service. Hour and half, two drinks down and still waiting on food on a quite night , we came from mt isa wont be back next trip to alice springs. Edit , got food 2 hours after we arived only to have my lamb bloody ( they didn't tell me it was served rare ), sides didn't match menu. They did recook the lamb for me and not charge for that meal Desert was over price for what it was , tiny brownie , dop of cream and chocolate sauce for $12.00 , you could have bought the brownie 10 times over in wollies for that price. We got there just after 6.30 , left at 9.30ish 0/10 I dont recommend this place, over all horrible meal out. Very disappointing as last year place was great.

We ate dinner here last night and got the salt and pepper crocodile as a starter and barramundi and crocodile ribs for mains. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant was clean and tidy and the wait staff were friendly and very attentive. Would definitely recommend stopping in while in Alice.

Nice atmosphere and good service,highly recommended enjoy dinner here,very relaxed and romantic.Murray Valley pork rib eye is so soft and juicy,served with cabbage salad and mashed potatoes 28 dollars.

I know it was a public holiday. I know I booked a table for 6:30. I know we read our menus and went without even water at the table until we ordered at 7:20 by which time my husbands choice had sold out. I know the three kitchen staff struggled to fill orders because our food took a further 45 minutes to arrive. Two hours for a one-course meal takes the edge off what turned out to be OK food. In a town where tourism is a major industry this is not OK.

best steak sandwich i have ever had ... serving person was under the pump and we had to keep her focused on us until she had taken our order , otherwise - 5 stars forv sure

I'd give them 3.5 out of 5. Our food was good, better than I expected. I got the kangaroo salad and my boyfriend got a pad Thai with crocodile. The only negative is the service. They were incredibly slow.

Nov 2019 - Had a rare steak last night with potato mash and broccolini - was a good steak for the price - fabulous mash. Cheap and cheerful, very happy and helpful staff. Jan 2020 - Had kangaroo steak and it was fabulously cooked, tasty and tender. Mushrooms and broccolini were lovely too.
