Astonish Patisserie

It’s been almost two years to the day since my last visit to Astonish. The place seemed to be a bit more organised and I could see that the old novels were still retained. The dessert menu has been revamped and somewhat simplified with only 6 main items to choose from. To balance this, they’ve…

Bad Boy Burger Bar – Allenby Gardens

Anybody that’s been down Melbourne Street would be familiar with Bad Boy Burger Bar. Their second store to open with the same name is in the new Allenby Gardens shopping complex just outside of the city. As with the first store, there are 24 types of burgers to choose from, as well as yiros, AB,…

Phuket Thai

Phuket Thai is one of the few Thai restaurants that I haven’t been to, however, it was comforting to see a TV personality and a few friends dining at the establishment during my first visit. The menu is extensive and authentic with all your traditional Thai favourites. Deciding what to order proved to be the…

Andersen’s of Denmark Ice Cream

As you walk down Jetty Road towards the beach, the aromatic smell of waffles draws you closer and closer to Andersen’s of Denmark. Known for their award winning ice creams, the difference is their use of fresh cream and the absence of artificial flavours or colours. To complement their ice creams, they have freshly made…

Tana Cafe & Restaurant

As far as I am aware, there are only a handful of eateries in Adelaide that serve Ethiopian food. The latest one to open it’s doors is Tana which is located in the new Allenby Gardens shopping complex just outside the city. Having eaten this type of cuisine before, the menu offerings looked vaguely familiar…

Bay of Bengal

Bay of Bengal has been around for a very long time, and I vaguely remember eating here once or twice 15 years ago. I can’t quite recall what I had, but I do remember it was the best Indian food I had experienced at the time. Fast forward to the present day, and there are…

Taste Restaurant

With the steady expansion of the Chinatown, we’re slowly seeing eateries move into the side streets, away from the busy Gouger Street cafe precinct. The new Taste Restaurant moves all the way to Wright Street, replacing the former Police office. The menu is a combination of traditional and fusion with a selection of noodles, wonton,…

Cecconi’s on O’Connell

In some ways, O’Connell Street is like The Parade with the number of Italian restaurants down the one street. The latest to open it’s doors on the busy cafe precinct is Cecconi’s which replaces the former Italian Cafe Vagabondo. The menu is predominantly Italian with mains, pastas, pizzas, calzone and risottos. The decor is modern…

Vietnamese Laundry – Adelaide – Sturt Street

Vietnamese Street Food has been all the rage this year as we see yet another place open in the form of Vietnamese Laundry. Located on Sturt Street, the name of the establishment is based on the former use of the building, a laundromat. While it’s location in the south western corner of the city may…
