While Australia is no Spain, their churros are arguably one of the best we had.

San Churro has nailed the recipe and you can try an adult portion of their divine snack that comprises of 3 churros and a dip-cup (from AUD 8.95).
The churros are cooked fresh to order from the in-house fryer and the piping hot choux-based snack is served to you warm with either chocolate or caramel sauce on the side.
