While on my way to the Central Markets I noticed Caffe Primo had a $10 lunch special for pizza and pasta. Not for one item but both! Seeing this as a good lunch deal, I had no hesitation in walking in. Located in the new Franklin Street bus station building, this place is modernly decorated…

Marcellina’s
$10 lunch specials at Marcellina’s? I’m there! I’ve had their pizza before but was now tempted to try some of their pasta. This is the flagship store for the Marcellina franchise and has been around for over 40 years. The place has been refurbished to give a more modern feel. The staff here are friendly and…
Ky Chow
Ky Chow is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. I’ve been coming here for years, even when it was located down the western end of Gouger Street. Back then, the restaurant was small and they would try to cram as many people in as possible. At their new location, the decor is more modern and…
Manee Siam
Manee Siam is a small Thai restaurant on Goodwood Road. The decor here is basic, with the restaurant offering all your traditional Thai dishes. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service is exceptional. Today, I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry. The meal arrived within 20 minutes of ordering, and all meals arrived at…
Astonish Patisserie
Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…
Panacea
Tapas is so popular in Adelaide at the moment. Situated close to where I live is Panacea. Located on Halifax Street, this beautifully decorated restaurant reminds me of when I was dining out in Barcelona. The rustic flooring, the outdoor canopy, and the spacious courtyard, all make for a cosy environment. The service here was…
Chimichurri Grill
Argentinian food coming from a truck? How could you possibly go wrong? The Chimichurri Grill is a mobile food truck that serves Argentinian food. The menu is quite basic with three possible options; Chimi Steak, Chimi Chorizo and Chimi Cheese (vegetarian option). The wonderful smells emanating from the food truck really get the stomach rumbling. Today,…
Thai Lucky Bell
Located on Hindley Street, Thai Lucky Bell offers all your traditional Thai cuisine. The decor here is basic with their white plastic chairs and creamy coloured ceramic tiles. A few ornaments are scattered here and there, and counter area reminded me of a hoarders paradise. Thai Lucky Bell is a family owned business, where the…
Natee Thai
Located on Pulteney Street towards the end of Rundle Mall, Natee Thai offers all your traditional Thai favourites. The decor is simple and the service is average. There was no one to greet me when I entered the place, and customers have to order and pay at the counter towards the back of the restaurant….
Taldy-Kurgan
If you want Russian cuisine, you basically have to be Russian to get it in Adelaide. Taldy-Kurgan bucks the trend and is one of the few places that offers Russian street food. Their most popular menu item, the piroshki, is a fried yeast bun with filling in it. I ordered two varieties, the Spinach and Ricotta Piroshki,…
