Based on the name, one would presume that Gusto on Hutt and Gusto in Norwood are the same restaurant in different locations. The waitress that I spoke to assured me that the restaurants are their own separate entities with different owners who just happen to be friends. While both places serve Italian cuisine, I was…

Ginza Miyako – Dinner Menu
Never in the history of Adelaide Food Central has the exact same place been reviewed twice. After a recent lunch time visit to Ginza Miyako, I was told that the dinner menu was more of a true representation of what they’re about. The dinner menu, not surprisingly, has more offerings, and some of the dishes…

Sq Restaurant & Lounge Bar
I can think of some really good restaurants located inside hotels and then I can think of some not so good ones. From my own personal experience, they can be hit and miss, however, you can’t say for sure until you’ve actually eaten there. Sq is located in the foyer section of the Mantra Hotel…
Crown & Sceptre
After nearly 2 years, the Crown and Sceptre has re-opened it’s doors. Certain elements within the venue have been retained while other parts have been updated. It’s combination of old and new that still gives this place a relaxed vibe. With this latest reincarnation comes a new menu; a combination of tapas, classic pub dishes…
Ginza Miyako
From the same group that brought you Ginza and Burger Foundry, is a new Japanese and French restaurant, Ginza Miyako. Located on Level 1, inside Stamford Plaza Adelaide, entry into the restaurant is via an outside staircase or through the hotel. The lunch menu is Japanese whereas the dinner menu contains offerings which are more…
Foodtopia
The name of this place is rather generic and I wouldn’t have picked Foodtopia as a place that serves Asian food. Conveniently located on North Terrace, close to the universities, you would imagine this place does a roaring trade with the foot traffic that goes past. The area is spacious and open planned, and the…
