Alice Springs food

Alice Springs doesn't have quite the range of fresh foods available in Australia's big cities, but considering the climate and the distances involved, the local food retailers do pretty well.

Supermarkets

There are branches of the two major Australian supermarkets in Alice Springs, and also a number of smaller independents.

Afghan Traders

Shop 6/7 Leichhardt Tce, Alice Springs
8955 5560

- sells a range of dried fruit, nuts, spices, flour, organic produce and luxury foodstuffs.

Butchers

There are three specialty butchers, two of which fly fresh seafood in twice a week.

Fruit and vegetables

The supermarkets stock a decent range of in-season fresh produce, and there are also a number of specialist retailers - some of whom grow their produce locally.
