La Vita Ristorante

I’ve driven past this place so many times and I always notice that their carpark is full. I took this as a good sign and it became one of my places to check out. The venue itself is deceptively large. From the street frontage, the place looks small, but when you walk into the place,…

Cocolat – Rundle Street

This particular Cocolat store does a roaring trade. Opening from morning till late, finding somewhere to sit at this place has never been easy for as long as I can remember. The Rundle Street store is set in a long and narrow building, and from what I could see, they seem to offer a lot…

Chef Lai Noodle Bar

Chef Lai Noodle Bar isn’t in the most obvious of locations. The place is located towards the end of a side street opposite the Thuan Phat Asian grocery. The decor is basic with cafe style furnishings and ceramic tiles. The orange walls do match the tables so I’ll give them some credit for colour coordination….

General Havelock Hotel

I can only think of two pubs down Hutt Street, but I can’t think of many as classy as the General Havelock. The renovations that were done here are modern and stylish and I just can’t help walking into this place whenever I’m in the area. The venue is nice and spacious with so many…

Yum Cha Hut

While yum cha in food courts is nothing new, I must say that I’m not really a fan. I find that a lot of the products are precooked and the personalised service is notably absent. I quite enjoy sitting at a table and having someone come round with a trolley of food. Anyway, Yum Cha…

The Market Bread Bar

Tucked away in the grocery and meat stalls of the Central Market is the Market Bread Bar. The stall is primarily a bakery although they do have a range of continental sweets to purchase. As with most stalls in the market, there’s no where to sit down so basically all their customers are take away….

Chu’s

Set in the popular Unley Road cafe precinct amongst other popular eateries is Chu’s. There are a decent selection of Chinese and Vietnamese dishes on the menu, although I did notice a few Thai dishes thrown into the mix. Set in a long and narrow floorplan, the decor is modern and elegant. The black and…

Corner Store Cafe

Tucked away in a leafy suburban street of Dulwich is a trendy eatery with a generic sounding name, the Corner Store. Judging by the number of people that frequent this place, you can already tell the food is good here. The size of the cafe doesn’t appear to be very large, but from what I…

Lamb Spit BBQ – Semaphore

I’m already familiar with Lamb Spit BBQ as they have a store in the Central Markets. Located on Semaphore Road, literally metres away from the beach, I think this place is in a much better location, although, they are located next door to the number one fish and chip shop in Adelaide. The venue is…

Swedish Tarts – Semaphore

I’ve been to the Swedish Tarts store down at Henley Beach so I pretty much knew what to expect. Personally, I think the Semaphore store is in a much better location. It’s amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct and the place itself is a bit larger. Like their other…
