Assaggio Ristorante

Assaggio is my new favourite Italian restaurant in Adelaide. It’s just simply amazing! I can understand why this restaurant was voted the best Italian restaurant in 2012 and I’m mystified that I haven’t been here before. Located on King William Road, this small to medium restaurant offers your classic Italian dishes and seats around 40-50…

O’Ramen O’Bento

O’Ramen O’Bento is a Japanese takeaway outlet in the Southern Cross Arcade food court. They sell 3 types of dishes; Bento Boxes, Ramen and Soba Noodle Salads. Today, I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box. Teri, in Japanese, refers to the lacquered sheen you get on the surface of the chicken from the teriyaki sauce,…

Ohashi

Ohashi is a Japanese take away outlet in the Renaissance Arcade food court. They sell sushi and a range of preprepared Japanese dishes. Today, I ordered the Karaage Curry. For those who don’t know, karaage is a Japanese cooking technique where meat, in this case, chicken, is marinated in soy sauce, garlic and ginger, seasoned…

Chapati House 2

Chapati House doesn’t seem like much when you drive past it. The interior isn’t that impressive either. With seating for about 30 people, the decor is fairly basic, but it’s not the worst I’ve ever seen. The staff here are friendly and welcoming, and the service is above average. Even though the restaurant is located…

Tapas On Hindley

The Tapas on Hindley is located close to the centre of Hindley Street. The decor is traditional with Moroccan influences. The dim lighting and the Spanish music playing in the background create a vibrant and intimate atmosphere. There are basically 16 tapas dishes on offer with 2 types of paella. The staff are really friendly…

Marrakech – Hyde Park

The first thing that strikes you about this place is the beautiful decor; The unique star shaped light fittings, the fancy patterns on the exterior windows, the Islamic symbolism, the Persian style wall hung rug and the antique looking ornaments that hang off the walls. Combined with the dim lighting and the Arabic music playing…

Spats Coffee Lounge

It is rumoured that the building where Spats is located used to be a brothel and offered guys (and some girls.. but mainly guys) a special type of “dessert”. These days, Spats offers “dessert” of the regular variety, as well as beverages, cocktails and meals. When Spats took over the brothel, they made minimal changes…

Alfresco On Rundle

It’s a bit of a catch 22 when you want to go out for dinner, with a large group on a Friday night, and you haven’t made a booking, particularly in the busy Rundle Street cafe precinct. While wandering around aimlessly, we discovered that Alfresco’s was able to accommodate us, however, the number of empty…

Chefs Of Tandoori Express

Chef’s of Tandoori Express is an Indian take away store and a child to the parent restaurant store out in the suburbs. Located in the Renaissance Arcade, the menu options are not as extensive, but they still offer all your Indian favourites. The pricing is more than reasonable with a single curry and rice starting…
