Up in Darwin on a quick break last year. We went to Char for our anniversary, a surprise visit! It’s always. I’ve to go to a place that is big on service, big on quality and big on delivering an experience. Char ticks all of these boxes. A nice addition to Darwin’s culinary offerings. Maybe we could go again when we are up in Darwin late this August?
