The Book In Love Cafe is a 7 bedroom upper floor apartment turned dessert store. The decor is tacky with pictures that have literally been stuck on. Each room is filled with desks, chairs and shelves straight from IKEA. There is a considerable number of books, but they’re all written in Chinese. The dessert menu…

Paul’s Seafood – Gouger St
Paul’s Seafood on Gouger Street has been around for nearly 70 years. The decor is nothing flash, however it still comes across as being neat and presentable. There’s good use of timber throughout, and the blue and white colour scheme reminds you of the sea. With seating both upstairs and on the ground floor, everything…
The Collins Bar
The Collins Bar at The Hilton has been open for a while now and continues to be a favourite meeting spot for after work drinks. The venue is stylishly designed with decor that is classy, chique and sophisticated. The seating is a mix of bar stools, lounge chairs and normal chairs. Whether you want to hide…
Hotel Tivoli
Hotel Tivoli is hidden away on the eastern side of Pirie Street. On the outside, it just looks like an old building with a towering apartment built behind it. The inside, on the other hand, is sleek, modern and stylish. The antlers hanging off the walls, the dark colour tones and furnishings, and the parquetry…
Gringos
Gringos is a Mexican restaurant conveniently located in the heart of Glenelg, right on Moseley Square. With a world map drawn as a wall mural, straw roof over the bar area, and dark coloured walls, you can see that they’ve attempted to make this place look traditional. It’s not as impressive as some other places,…
Chanay Thai Fusion
You would think a place that uses the word “Thai” in their name would have some Thai dishes on their menu. Well, they don’t, and it always pays to have a look at the menu before you sit down at the restaurant. Set in a long and narrow building, the interior of this place is…
Hogs Breath Cafe – Adelaide
Hogs Breath is a steak franchise with stores across the country. While the menu may be the same, there are some stores that cook their meals better than others. I’ve been here on many occasions and the meals here have been average. My most recent visit to this place saw little improvement. Today, I ordered…
Falafel House
The Falafel House is not the prettiest of places, and for that reason, I’ve always walked past it and never into it. Located on seedy Hindley Street, this store is open practically all hours of the day and is the perfect location for that hangover cure. The most prominent items on the menu are falafels,…
Veggie Velo
I would never have thought I’d be eating vegetarian burgers, let alone one from a French hippie riding around on a push bike with a grill attached. That all changed when Veggie Velo parked itself a few metres away from my house. On the bike menu, there is the option of 2 vegetarian burgers, a…
Zootz Kitchen Bar
I’ve been to Zootz several times, but only for social salsa dancing. Once every month, they clear all the tables and chairs, and turn on the latin music for people to practice their dance moves. As far as food goes, I’ve never had the urge to eat here, mainly due to negative social media reviews….
