Kathmandu Palace

Kathmandu Palace is located in a lovely historical building on Nile Street in Glenelg. Conveniently located on a side street, there was plenty of street parking to be found, particularly if you come here straight after work. Anybody familiar with Nepalese cuisine would know of it’s strong Indian influences as seen in its menu. The…

Hogs Breath Cafe – Glenelg

Having been to many Hog’s Breath Cafes around the country, no two stores are the same when it comes to the execution of the meals. I’ve known for some time that the Glenelg store is one of the better ones in Adelaide. This place even has beach views if you look out the balcony and…

Froth & Fodder

Froth & Fodder is a hipster cafe, located within a small group of shops, behind a shopping complex in Kurralta Park. Every time I’ve driven past this place, the cafe is always full, so that’s usually a sign that they’re doing something right. Their food offerings can be summarised as 7 brunch items, 3 salads…

La Rambla Tapas Bar

Peel Street has come a long way from being a dark alleyway to a vibrant trendy hotspot right in the heart of the city. With the spate of new bars and restaurants down the street, the revitalisation has been a successful one. The latest establishment to join the ranks is La Rambla, a place that…

Sanctuary Tea House

Craving for a Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I once again turn to the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application. It directs me to the Sanctuary Tea House which is located inside the Westfield Marion Shopping Centre. It’s not inside the food court, but on the ground level directly under it. As their name suggests, they have…

Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum

There aren’t many places in Adelaide where you can have Yum Cha in the evening and an Asian inspired Martini to go with it. Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum, formerly known as Suzie Wong’s Room, fills that void. The re-branding of the venue has seen a shift from Eastern European cuisine to the owner’s…

The Warradale

A couple of years ago, The Warradale underwent extensive renovations that added three new bars, a bistro and a bottle shop. It then went on to win three awards in 2013 through the Australian Hotels Association (AHA). A quick glance of the bistro menu shows plenty of variety.  There are tapas dishes, oysters, pizzas, steaks,…

Alphutte

It’s commonly known that both popular Swiss restaurants, Alphutte and Lenzerheide, were previously run by the same couple. Anybody that’s been to Lenzerheide would see similarities in the Alphutte menu. Alphutte has been around for many decades and is a bit of an institution in Adelaide. It does such a roaring trade, it only needs…

Blue Ginger

Blue Ginger is located in small alleyway just off Moseley Square in Glenelg. The moderately sized menu is very pan-Asian with Chinese, Thai and Indian influences. The decor is fairly basic with dated cafe furnishings. It does have bi-fold doors which integrate the outdoor with the indoor dining areas. It also allows plenty of natural…

Hello Kitty Cafe

There are very few occasions where the first store of it’s kind in Australia opens in Adelaide. Less than a week old, Hello Kitty Cafe has opened up in the heart of Chinatown serving up freshly made desserts. The menu consists of over a dozen styles of dessert, each of which will have a cat…
