The Thirsty Koala, Australian dining in Astoria

Photos by Dustin Wayne Harris, Bradley hawks and caviar

The Thirsty Koala's seasonal menus incorporate robust, and indigenous Australian ingredients that transport you to Oz just a few steps from the N train in Astoria. The friendly, relaxed dining room vibe has seaside paintings by Australian artist Jennifer Baird on display. Chef Fuchs pulls inspiration from her Greek roots and across the globe to create seasonal menus that include native Australian ngredients. You’ll love her award winning Wattle Seed and Herb Crusted Lamb Lollies but let’s not forget the seafood. It really shines with barramundi, red snapper, oysters from both coasts, Spanish octopus and more,

Our seafood, beef, pork, lamb and organic poultry are sourced from sustainable, certified humane producers like Jail Island Salmon, supporting the Bay of Fundy Salmon Recovery; Silver Fern Farms Net Zero Carbon Grass Fed Beef and Shenandoah Valley Farms.

Let’s not forget brunch. It’s fantastic and was voted Best Brunch in Astoria.. Try the Creme Brûlée Buttermilk Pancakes or the Corn and Jalapeño Fritters Benedict. From casual bites, organic wines, to curated beers and cocktails, vegan to carnivore, this is the place to gather. Make your reservation on OpenTable or Resy.
