(113 Todd St; mains $8-15; 9am-4pm Mon-Sat; ) Vegetarians may be forgiven for feeling
a bit left out in meat-heavy Alice Springs, but not at the Tea Shrine, a vegan Asian res-
taurant and teahouse. Popular with hippies and health workers, this peaceful cafe has
daily specials and a range of yum cha dishes.

( 08-8953 7188; Barrett Dr, Crowne Plaza Alice Springs; mains $18-36; 12.30-2.30pm Mon-
Fri, from 6.30pm daily; ) You won't believe you're in the outback when you try the in-
credible Thai- and Indian-influenced cuisine at this stylish restaurant. The delicate Thai
entrees are a real triumph as are the seafood dishes, particularly the Hanuman prawns.
Although the menu is ostensibly Thai, there are enough Indian dishes to satisfy a curry
craving. There are also several vegetarian offerings and a good wine list.
Tinh & Lan Alice Vietnamese Restaurant VIETNAMESE $$$
( 08-8952 8396; 1900 Heffernan Rd; mains $16-30; 11am-2pm & 5-10pm Tue-Sun) This at-
mospheric Vietnamese restaurant is set in a market garden illuminated with lanterns. All
the favourites - rice paper rolls, pho, salt and pepper squid - are deliciously prepared and
the ingredients, growing all around you, couldn't be fresher. Follow the signs off Colonel
Rose Dr; it's about 14km south of town.

( 08-8952 6749; cnr Undoolya Rd & Sturt Tce; mains $14-28; 6-10pm Mon-Sat) Step across
the Todd River and into 1970s Italy at this old-school pizza and pasta joint. Madly popu-
lar on the weekends (bookings are recommended), it is wonderfully cosy with red and
white checked tablecloths and plastic grape vines hanging from the ceiling. Order the
famously delectable vanilla slice early as they run out the door. Note that it's BYO wine.
