Il Mondo Caffe Bar

With the introduction of the small bar legislation, locals are really spoilt for choice when it comes to going out for drinks. Located in the James Place alleyway is Il Mondo which translated from Italian means “The World”. This represents the time the owner spent overseas travelling the world as shown by the world map…

Utoo

Over the past few years, we’ve seen a number of burger joints, dessert bars and Mexican eateries open up across Adelaide. The trend this year seems to be South American food and yoghurt stores. Utoo is a brand new froyo (frozen yoghurt) and dessert store to open up on James Place. They offer both fresh…

Yutaka Sushi – Central Market

Yutaka Sushi is one of several sushi stores with the same name around Adelaide. The Central Market store is a small store located close to the courts on Victoria Square. In what appears to be family run, you can see the sushi freshly made behind the counter. This place only sells individual sushi rolls and…

Todai Sushi King

Todai Sushi King is located near the western side of Rundle Street. I’ve been to this place in the past and was barely impressed, but in recent times, they’ve introduced the sushi train concept into their store. To make things even more enticing, all their sushi plates are currently $3. The Raw Salmon and Cod…

Cha Phu Xuong

There are so many stores offering Vietnamese rolls in the western suburbs. I see this as a positive thing as the competition keeps prices low and customers get a better product. Cha Phu Xuong is a store in a small shopping complex on Hanson Road. The selling point at this place is their rolls start…

Nhu Lan

Woodville Gardens must be the Vietnamese Roll capital of Adelaide with so many stores offering their version of the same product. Nhu Lan is a small store on Hanson Road that offers close to a dozen varieties of the tasty treat. Today, I ordered the Roast Pork Roll. It was made on the spot and…

Red Door Bakery – Croydon

I’ve actually never been down Elizabeth Street in Croydon and I wasn’t expecting to see a group of boutique stores and cafes. I must admit it was a pleasant surprise. Having been to the Red Door Bakery in Goodwood, I already had a good idea of what was in store even before I came here….

Chiaro Bar

Chiaro Bar is located on Waymouth Street close to Light Square. I’ve only ever been to this place at night when it’s a nightclub, so the venue looked vaguely familiar without the beer goggles on. There are plenty of seating options available with bar stools, booths and normal tables. The decor is modern and well…

Miyao Sushi

Miyao Sushi is a quaint little store just off the corner of Woodville Road and Port Road. I’ve driven past this place many times and I remember the name of this place by the sound that a cat makes. Parking can be an issue with only 3 spaces shared between 2 shops, but a majority…

Big Wang BBQ

I could have a field day with all the innuendo related to the name of this place, but I’m just not in the mood. Big Wang BBQ is located on Morphett Street, metres away from Whitmore Square. The signage at this place isn’t great with a just sticker on the main window displaying its name….
