Roll’N On Bower

I’ve read good things about Roll’N on Bower, and it was my mission to have a Vietnamese roll here if I was ever in the area. The store itself is small with a handful of seats, but the place does have a warm and cosy vibe about it. The food offerings here aren’t extensive but…

Yu Feng Tai

Yu Feng Tai is a small eatery in the Renaissance Arcade food court. While many of the businesses come in the form of stalls with shared seating, this place has it’s own store with seating downstairs, upstairs and in the food court area. Their offerings include Shanghai buns and a selection of Taiwanese dishes. For…

La Bonne Table

I’ve walked past La Bonne Table on many occasions, as my auto repairer is just around the corner, and a glance through their windows into their dining areas already had me impressed. It was always on my list of places to visit, and tonight, I finally found my way there. La Bonne Table is located…

Adelaide City Snack Bar

I recently downloaded a smartphone application called “Banh Mi Locator” which tells me all the nearest stores where I can buy Vietnamese rolls based on my current location. Looking at the list generated, I discover I haven’t visited the Adelaide City Snack Bar located further down Angus Street. The application tells me that their Roast…

Chicken Rice

Chicken Rice is a small Malaysian eatery that has opened up right in the heart of The Parade. With only 7 dishes to choose from, making a decision really isn’t that difficult. I actually prefer places with a small menu because they offer dishes that they can cook well, as opposed to a large selection…

Nostra Casa

Nostra Casa, translated from Italian to English, means “our home”, and is located at the beginning of Henley Beach Road westbound. The decor is basic but well presented, and surprisingly they’ve tried to cram 45 seats into a confined indoor space. Not only are you sitting close to each other, you might as well be…

Bistro Dom

Bistro Dom is a place that I’ve looked forward to coming to for quite some time. Everybody that I know that has been there has simply raved about it. The establishment is very long and skinny. The bar and dining area is in a space that is three metres wide. Dining tables run along the…

TGI Fridays

I’ve actually been to T.G.I. Friday’s when I was in the States many years ago and I remember having quite a pleasant experience. I know this place had been in Adelaide for several years now, but because I don’t live in the area, I’ve never had the chance to check them out. I’ve also read…

New Taste Noodle Bar

The New Taste Noodle Bar wasn’t my first choice in lunch destination, and it was only because the place I was supposed to go to, was unexpectedly closed. Set in a complex on Frederick Road, this quaint little store offers Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food (This should have been my warning sign right here. I…

China Chilli

With the number of Asian eateries down Gouger Street, it’s only fitting that the China Chilli restaurant opens it’s doors along this popular cafe strip. As their signage suggests, this place specialises in two things; Sichuan cuisine and hot pots. Sichuan cuisine refers to a style of Chinese food that originates from the Sichuan province…
