Caffe Primo – North Adelaide

Caffe Primo North Adelaide is one of the newer franchise store openings for this popular chain. There are so many stores around Adelaide, the person selling the franchises is laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, I digress. The decor here is fairly standard with your commercial chairs and tables. The combination of neutral…

Prince Albert Hotel

The journey to the Prince Albert Hotel can be a dangerous one particularly with the homeless food shelter nearby. Located on Wright Street, close to the notorious Whitmore Square, this is one of the quieter pubs in the city. The main bar is in the centre of the building with two walls that separate another…

Little Orange Arancini & Pizza Bar

Inside The Market Shed on Holland is a hidden gem of a place called the Little Orange Arancini and Pizza Bar. At this place, the ingredients used in their products only use the best locally sourced produce, and where ever possible, they are certified organic.

Wave Gourmet Cafe

Wave is a gourmet supermarket, bar and cafe all in one. The whole place is spacious and beautifully laid out, with the supermarket and grocery section on one side and a cafe on the other. There is a breakfast menu, a normal menu, desserts and beverages on offer, and if you still can’t decide, you…

Belgian Beer Cafe Oostende

There’s nothing more trendier than the Belgian Beer Cafe. I’ve got friends that have met their soul mates here. This place is renowned for two things, beer and mussels. With an 8 page beer menu, a person can get easily distracted by the amount of choice on offer. On this particular occasion, I was here…

Providore

Shopping in the Central Markets and have a bit of a sweet tooth? Well, look no further than the Providore. The sweets are fresh and handmade, and there’s so much on offer, you’ll be spinning around in circles. From the top of my head there were chocolates, cookies, cakes, muffins and an assortment of sweets….

Taste of Marrakech

As far as I’m aware, there are only 2 Moroccan restaurants in Adelaide, Le Riad and Marrakech. Taste of Marrakech is not so much a restaurant, but a Central Market stall that offers snacks, salads, spices and dips. Today, I ordered a Spanish Tortilla. As the name suggests, it’s Spanish and not Moroccan, but I…

Papa’s Gourmet Hot Dogs

The first thing that strikes you about Papa’s food truck is the shiny metallic van. The presentation is quite impressive, and it appears they’ve spent more than the average amount on the fit out. As their name suggests, they specialise in gourmet hot dogs. The hot dogs are not the processed convenience store variety but…
