Haigh’s Chocolates – Rundle Mall

Haigh’s is simply chocolate heaven. Just about anything with chocolate in it tastes great, but Haigh’s Chocolates are somewhat better. Not the best on a world scale, but definitely the best in Adelaide. The quality of the chocolate here is right up there, and the texture is better than all the local competitors. You feel like…

Chuck Wagon – North Adelaide

The name “Chuckwagon” can be interpreted in many ways. The definition here in this case comes from the chuck steak that they use to mince their burger patties. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Ultimate burger and a side of Onion Rings. The burger was of a decent size. Two thick, well cooked patties….

Cafe Luna Rosso

The literal translation for Luna Rosso is Red Moon. Located on the busy cafe precinct of King William Road, Cafe Luna Rosso offers your traditional Italian fare. The decor is modern but basic, and the service is OK. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Calzone Rustico. The meal came out after a 20 minute…

Mawson Lakes Hotel

The Mawson Lakes Hotel is well known for their mega chicken schnitzels. In what is a modern building, the hotel is simply decorated and seats about 200 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is average. One thing I liked about this place is the all you can eat salad bar. The potato bake at…

Cafe Michael 2

Cafe Michael 2 is small and cosy, and the whole restaurant, both inside and out, would seat 108 people. The decor is modern and stylish, and the service here is excellent. When I spilt a glass of water, it was quickly cleaned up. When I dropped my spoon on the floor, it was immediately replaced…

The Griffins

I’ve been coming to Griffins ever since my university days. With it’s close proximity to Adelaide University, it was always a stop off point at all my pub crawls. Nowadays, the place has undergone renovations and is now more sleek and stylish, which is in line with other trendy pubs around town. I like a…

Silk Road

Feeling daring and adventurous, I dragged a group of friends out for Uighur cuisine at Silk Road. For me, the food is a fusion of Asian and Middle Eastern influences. Located on Port Road in Allenby Gardens, the restaurant is surrounded mainly by industrial facilities and residential housing. It’s usually quite difficult to get a…

Maid Of Auckland

I’ve driven past the Maid of Auckland many times when going up South Road, and to be honest, I’ve never wanted to walk inside, mainly due to its appearance from the outside. It doesn’t appear to be one of those modern pubs that have undergone extensive renovations. According to other reviews, it has been renovated,…

Adelaide Pho

Adelaide Pho is located in a building that was once my internet service provider. Now a Vietnamese restaurant, it specialises in Beef Noodle Soup as well as other traditional Vietnamese dishes. The decor is basic and the place could seat about 50 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is pretty good. Today, I ordered…

Blue and White Cafe

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Blue and White. I had my very first AB here many years ago and had been a loyal customer for quite some time. After a while the quality of the AB dropped and I found myself eating at the Red and White. For review purposes, I…
