Named after Sydney based chef, Sean Connolly, this is one of many restaurants that he is involved in.

Miss Perez Kitchen & Bar

There’s nothing like a drive up to the picturesque Adelaide Hills to check out the cool and trendy Miss Perez Kitchen & Bar. The menu is fairly straight forward with a handful of small and larger plate dishes on offer. The offerings aren’t entirely Spanish and South American influenced with some dishes taking on a…

Red Cacao

Nestled within the picturesque Adelaide Hills is Red Cacao, crafters of genuine hand made chocolates using the finest European couverture. The range is truly unique from truffles to seasonal flavours in their chocolate blocks. Come Friday night and the cafe transforms into a dessert bar offering exquisite desserts by candlelight. To complement your sweet treats,…

Indian Temptations

With all the rave reviews about Indian Temptations, I came here with very high expectations. I turned a blind eye to the fact that it was a suburban take away store with limited seating, and that the poorly ventilated establishment meant that I would be leaving this place smelling like my meal. The ordering system…

Cow & Co

With the weather steadily warming up, it would easy to visit your local ice creamery for something cold to cool you down. For those that are looking for a healthier alternative, there’s froyo (frozen yoghurt). Having only ever been to one other froyo store, I was keen to see what Cow & Co had to…

Red Ochre Grill – Festival of Food 2014

With fond memories of my previous visit to Red Ochre, I almost jumped at the opportunity to eat here again. Just as we did last year, we were armed with the Festival of Food voucher. For $34.50 (Monday to Thursday), each person was entitled to an entree tasting plate, a main course (or select an…

Fresh Bites – Flinders St

Having already eaten at the other Fresh Bites store, I decided to pay the Flinders Street location a visit to see how they compared. The menu is pretty much the same with a selection of Vietnamese and Japanese influenced items on offer. Customers have the choice of bread rolls, salads, noodle salads, bento boxes and…

Long’s Kitchen

Long’s Kitchen is a small Chinese and Vietnamese eatery located on Flinders Street in the city. Only open for lunch during the week, the bain marie on one side of the cash register is dedicated to your typical Chinese takeaway dishes. The other side of the register holds all the ingredients that make up the…

Hoosegow

When a friend first told me about a place called “Hoosegow”, I thought she had made a typing mistake. Literally translated, “hoosegow” means “prisoner”. If I recall my conversation with the staff member correctly, the food is so good here, you become a “prisoner” of the food. The restaurant was actually supposed to be called…

The Local Grind

Located on the ground floor of The Watson Hotel, The Local Grind is a restaurant that focuses on using South Australian produce. The produce is seasonal and sourced directly from the suppliers. The establishment also doubles as a providore where customers have the option of purchasing freshly baked bread or other ingredients to have at…
