NSW Deputy Premier Troy Grant has unveiled Destination NSW’s Top Ten Outdoor Dining Spots across NSW as part of an endeavour to showcase some of the best activities, locations and experiences the state has to offer throughout summer in January.

‘There’s something for everyone – from the adventure seekers to those who prefer a quiet picnic with family and friends. This week I’m encouraging everyone to get out and enjoy a variety of open air settings and some of the world famous restaurants and produce we have on offer,’ Mr Grant said.

  • Café Alfresco in Broken Hill offers a unique dining experience with a delicious menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed outdoor dining area in Outback NSW.
