Sugar Cane

Sugar Cane is a Vietnamese restaurant located on King William Street, close to the end towards South Terrace. The decor here is modern and yet slightly traditional. In line with the name of their restaurant, they have ornaments made from sugar cane in strategically located places. I particularly like the floor to ceiling windows which…

Dumplings R Us

Chinese dumpling places seem to be popping up all over the place these days. As I make dumplings at home, I was keen to put Dumplings R Us to the test. Located on Rundle Street, this basically decorated store offers all your typical Chinese dishes as well as dumplings. Today, I ordered the Pan Fried…

Estia

I’ve been to Estia’s on numerous occasions over the years and I’ve always had an enjoyable experience. Located in Henley Square, the restaurant is metres away from the jetty. The atmosphere is relaxed and if you’re dining outdoors, you get to see the sun set over the horizon during the summer. Tonight, I ordered the…

Hotel Richmond

I’ve been to the Hotel Richmond on many occasions, mainly for drinks. While walking through the Mall, I noticed they had lunch specials on, so I felt this was the perfect opportunity to taste what they have to offer. The thing I love about the Richmond is the grandness of the place which is accentuated…

Whitmore Hotel

If you manage to get to the Whitmore Hotel without getting mugged, you can take advantage of the $10 Pint and Parmi special that is on every Wednesday until the end of February. The former strip club, now turned pub, is basically decorated and offers all your traditional pub fare. The clientele are a bit…

Barker Hotel

As part of my wine tour, the group felt like something a bit more substantial than what the wineries were offering in terms of food, so we decided to check out the Barker Hotel. This recently renovated pub is both ultra modern and chic, with a seating capacity of over 100. The staff are friendly…

Kazbar Yiros

Every shopping centre has a yiros store in their food court. For Westfield Marion, Kazbar Yiros is the store. Today, I ordered the Combination Yiros Plate. Lamb and chicken were succulent and tender, and provided in generous proportions. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Garlic sauce had a nice thick consistency. Pricing is fairly consistent for…

Furat

So who was the very first customer on the very first day of opening at this brand new restaurant in Adelaide? Yours truly of course! While they made me wait 15 minutes as they prepared to open up, I was determined to be the first! It was only by accident that I stumbled upon Furat….

Piatto

There are so many choices for Italian food down Rundle Street. On this particular occasion, a group of us came in without a booking and they were more than happy to accommodate. The decor here is modern and chic, and the menu selection is extensive with lots to choose from. When we ordered drinks, one of…

Dublin Hotel

There’s nothing like spending a lazy Sunday afternoon at the bay, particularly when the weather is nice. The sounds of the waves crashing into the shore and the gentle ocean breeze really set the mood for a relaxed day. When I’m in Glenelg, my usual haunt is the Dublin Hotel. The signage out the front indicated…
