Tom & Jerry

I don’t usually venture out to the Northern suburbs, but I found out about this place through a friend on Facebook. Banking on the fame of the two cartoon characters is Tom and Jerry, a small Middle Eastern eatery, which is located straight down Main North Road as you head out of the city. The…

Arab Steed Hotel

The Arab Steed Hotel is located on the corner of Hutt Street and Gilles Street in the South East of the city. The exterior of the building is historical in appearance, however, the internal features are slightly more modernised. Their menu is modern Australian with a lot of the traditional pub fare available. For lunch,…

Ashoka

I’ve walked past Ashoka on numerous occasions and rarely have I seen a full house. In most cases, that can be taken as a bad sign, but you never really know until you’ve tried the food there. Without spending too much money, I came here for their $8.90 curry and rice lunchtime specials. This price…

The Corner Store on Semaphore

Located in a prime position on the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct is The Corner Store on Semaphore. The interior is very quirky, yet full of character. There’s a bike on a fridge, an an assortment of tables and chairs, and a feature wall that matches the coffee machine. It’s all quite unique with French…

Pira Thai

Pira Thai is a small restaurant located outside the city fringe in Unley. This place came highly recommended so I came here expecting a good meal. I’ve also read reviews about how the decor isn’t that great. I’d have to agree. It’s fairly basic, however, it’s still neat and well presented. Their menu offers all…

Banh Mi – Grenfell Plaza

If anybody has been to Chinatown down where the old food court is, they would be familiar with Banh Mi. Well, they happen to have another store at Grenfell Plaza, right behind the Hugo Boss store on Grenfell Street. Besides the fact I was craving for a Vietnamese roll, I couldn’t help notice the busy…

Ginza Japanese Restaurant

There are few Japanese restaurants that I haven’t been to in Adelaide, and Ginza was one of them. I’ve heard plenty of reports of how good their yakiniku (grilled meat) barbecue is, so I was here to try it out. The front of the restaurant is the formal dining section which looks quite modern and…

Topaz Bar & Restaurant

Topaz Bar and Restaurant is part of the Findon Hotel. From the outside, the building looks old and tired, however, on the inside the venue has an American diner feel about it. There is plenty of natural light coming from the atrium, however, certain parts of the restaurant section feel dark and gloomy. There’s an…

Noodle and Dumpling House

The thing I love about the Central Market is that the food is cheap, and we’re not even talking about sitting inside a food court. Noodle and Dumpling House is a prime example. The food is typical Chinese with main meals around the $15 mark. The store itself is deceptive in size but efficiently used….

Thu Nguyen

If it wasn’t for the name of this place you’d think it was just a typical lunch bar selling sandwiches and rolls. They do sell these items, however, the Vietnamese owner also has Roast Pork rolls on the menu. Without any hesitation, I ordered one. Made on the spot and packaged in a blank white…
