Awards

Tali Wiru has been awarded an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat for 2024 and a Readers' Choice Award, becoming the highest rated restaurant in the Northern Territory and the only entirely outdoor dining experience in Australia to be recognised.

Tali Wiru has also won in two categories at the Restaurant & Catering Hostplus Awards for Excellence; Premium Dining and Tourism Restaurant.

Tour Highlights

The contrast between the spectacular natural setting and the world-class gastronomic adventure on your plate is simply awe-inspiring. This is so much more than a dining experience; it's a moment in time remembered forever.

Tali Wiru, meaning 'beautiful dune' in local Anangu language, encapsulates the magic of fine dining under the Southern Desert sky. Instead of walls, this open-air restaurant has magnificent views of Uluru and the distant domes of Kata Tjuta, and for unique ambiance there's the stillness of the desert at night.

About the Menu

This four-course experience celebrates native Australian ingredients, paired with iconic Penfolds wines.

Enjoy a Victorian chestnut velouté to start, followed by entrées like scallops, lamb backstrap, or bush spinach dumplings.

Mains include Glacier 51 toothfish, Darling Downs Wagyu fillet, or a seasonal vegetarian pithivier.

Finish with a choice of dessert or farmhouse cheese.

Expertly paired wines include Penfolds Bin 23 Pinot Noir, Bin 51 Riesling, Bin 311 Chardonnay, Cellar Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and Penfolds Grandfather.

Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements when you make the booking.

At the end of the meal, guests enjoy a hot chocolate or cognac as an Indigenous storyteller and star talker uncover the secrets of the Southern Desert skies and learn about the Traditional Owners of these lands, the Anangu.
