Steak!

Probably the most popular Pub food downunder is a Steak. Typically severed with a side salad and chips. You choose the way you like it and grab whatever gravy you want. If you're out for lunch look to see what specials they have most Pubs will offer a $10—15 steak lunch special.

Steak and Ale Pie
|
Eaten everywhere, in homes, pubs and even higher level restaurants, there is nothing like a steak and ale pie to warm you up on a cold winters day. The steak is casseroled or slow cooked with a pint of ale for several hours until beautifully tender. Can include vegetables, but also popular is Steak and Mushroom, which tends to be casseroled in red wine. Some pubs will serve it with a top and bottom pie crust, but others serve an individual portion with a puff pastry lid. Can be eaten with potatoes and veg, but the male population tend to have it with chips!

Tomato Risotto
|
A simple but effective dish of Arborio rice and tomatoes, garlic and basil as the accompanying herb. The rice is cooked in a pan with white wine, seasoning and garlic with the finely chopped tomatoes being added towards the end. A touch of cream and a scattering of basil completes the dish with some parmesan cheese also added towards the end. Plenty of French or Italian bread to wipe your bowl with is a good idea!

Juices
|
A large selection of fresh juices are normally available, being made at the counter. Varieties of vegetable and fruit, some with the addition of spices.

Beer

What's a pub without beer? A little smaller than the typical English pint, grab a schooner for the best price. If you're looking for something different have a look at what boutique bottled options they have.
