Lucia’s

Apparently Lucia’s is an Adelaide institution. Located in the Central Markets, this place has been around for over half a century. I’ve seen this place packed every time I’ve walked past, so it’s obvious that they’re doing something right. The decor probably hasn’t changed since it first opened, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The staff…

Mexican & Kebab House

The Mexican and Kebab House is a uniquely named eatery located in the City Cross food court. This eatery offers a range of tacos, burritos, kebabs and pides. Today, I ordered their House Special Turkish Pide. The bread was freshly baked, and nice and fluffy. The minced beef filling was tasty but there wasn’t enough…

Hotel Crown

Hotel Crown is located close to where all the action is in Victor Harbour. The venue is nice and spacious, and the menu is your standard pub fare. There’s an all you can eat salad bar which is available if you order a main. Today, i had the usual Chicken Parmi. The meal came out…

Onyx Dessert Lounge

After having dinner with a group of friends on O’Connell Street, we noticed this newly opened dessert lounge was located just across the road. There’s always room for dessert no matter how full you are, so this was a good enough excuse to pay this place a visit. The first thing I noticed about this…

Woolshed On Hindley

While thinking about where to go for lunch, a coworker suggested the Woolshed because they had meals for a reasonable price. First impressions of the place weren’t that great. The tables and chairs in the outside dining area were covered in alcohol residue, and the inside of the place was dark and dingy. The place…

Beyond India – North Adelaide

Having come here many times, I recently came here again with a dozen friends to see whether anything has changed. Located at the northern end of O’Connell Street, Beyond India offers all your traditional North Indian fare, and perhaps a bit more, as the name of the restaurant suggests. The place is beautifully decorated with…

Gochuzang

You don’t see many Korean stores in food courts, particularly in the heart of the CBD. Gochuzang bucks this trend by providing authentic cuisine in the Renaissance Arcade food court. The store offers 15 dishes and half a dozen vegetarian options which are variations of the available dishes. Today, I ordered the Sizzling Stone Beef Bibimbap….

Celsius

If you’ve got a bit of spare change, then the 8 course degustation with matching wines at Celsius is definitely for you. Located on Gouger Street, this sleek and chique establishment is the epitome of style and class. I even saw a politician while dining here. The decor is luxurious, the atmosphere is relaxed, the…

Asian Taste Lunch Express

You don’t normally see the same cuisine offered twice in the same food court. Asian taste is one of the two stores in the Renaissance Arcade offering Vietnamese cuisine, albeit with a different menu. Competing with Zen Kitchen nearby, this store offers your traditional noodle soups, rice dishes and bread rolls. Located in a food court,…

Ajisen Ramen – Leigh St

Ajisen Ramen is a franchise ramen store that first opened it’s doors in Adelaide on Leigh Street. They have an extensive menu and also offer bento boxes and rice dishes. The store on Leigh Street is small and the decor is simple traditional Japanese. The staff here are friendly and attentive. Today, I ordered the Tonkatsu…
