One Fork -Serving Breakfast , Lunch & Dinner

One Fork is a casual modern Australian restaurant on Berrimah Road, set at the Hudson Apartment Hotel just off the Stuart Highway end of things, with an easygoing neighbourhood feel and a menu that reads far more ambitious than the industrial surroundings suggest. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio, which has flat access straight from the car park.

The dog setup

Dogs join you on the patio, not inside the dining room, which is standard for a food business under Northern Territory rules. The patio is level from the car park, so no steps or gutters to manage, and the tables are spaced enough to tuck a dog out of foot traffic. Bring your own water bowl; Darwin heat makes that non-negotiable most of the year.

Worth knowing

The menu covers eggs benedict and breakfast classics through to prawn pasta, mushroom arancini, buffalo wings and the local curiosity, a croc burger, with vegan options for the rest of the table. Hours have shifted recently: daytime service runs from early morning, but dinner sessions have been subject to change, so call ahead on 08 8900 6555 before planning an evening visit.

Getting there and parking

Find it at Shop 1/4 Berrimah Road, Berrimah, with free off-street parking on site plus street parking on surrounding roads. It sits an easy drive from the Darwin CBD and the airport side of town, which makes it a practical stop if you are passing through with a dog in the car.

Make a day of it

Luna & Co Cafe is the local coffee option in the same suburb, and the DogsNT & DODC Showgrounds Area at Winnellie is close by. For a proper fenced session, the City of Darwin dog parks at Muirhead and Lakeside Drive are a short drive north with shade and water.

Pepsi: Eggs benedict on the patio while the car aircon cools down for the drive home. Call ahead if you were hoping for dinner.
