Burp
Burp is one of the first Mexican places to open up in Adelaide. This made Burp a bit of a novelty. These days, Burp has competitors and you’ll find a Mexican place in most food courts. They’ve also simplified their menu since I last visited and their offerings are now more in line with Zambrero….
The Strand
Located on the busy Jetty Road business strip, The Strand offers all your traditional Italian favourites. The restaurant is modernly decorated and the staff were warm and inviting. The service here was exceptional. We had very attentive waiter who would constantly refill our water bottles and was always available when needed. Today, I ordered the…
Oscar’s
When there’s a wine tour of the McLaren Vale, we always have lunch at Oscar’s. On this occasion there were 18 of us and we were seated in the outdoor dining area.

Nic & Rocco – Grote St
A new hole in the wall patisserie has just opened up in the Central Markets. Started from the winners of My Kitchen Rules, it appears to be a franchise that will see many new stores open across the state. The desserts on offer didn’t look that great to me. I ordered the Triple Chocolate Dome…
Sneaky Pickle
As I arrived at my second Fork on the Road, I was overwhelmed by the choice. The first thing that caught my eye was the Sneaky Pickle van. As your first gut instinct is usually correct, I decided to listen to my gut (it was making all sorts of noise at this stage) and ordered…
Vietnam Kitchen
Vietnamese restaurants are plentiful in the Western suburbs, but few and far between in the city. Located on Pulteney Street at the South Terrace end is a cosy little restaurant called the Vietnam Kitchen. The place is decorated nicely and offers all your traditional Vietnamese dishes. The staff are warm and inviting, and the service was…
La Cantina Co
Mexican food from a food truck? How good could it possibly be? With very little expectation, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I had a beef burrito from La Cantina. The burrito was amazing, and definitely better than some of the store competitors that are around. The beef was soft, tender and beautifully flavoured….
