Ilkari takes its name from the local Pitjantjatjara word for "sky." The restaurant’s dining philosophy is rooted in showcasing the natural flavours of the finest produce available under the Australian sun. Start your day with a personalised breakfast featuring a live cooking station and a variety of pastries and soups. In the evening, enjoy an international dinner buffet with fresh salads, seafood, roasts, and an indulgent chocolate fountain.
