La Trattoria

I find it annoying that most restaurants close their kitchens by about 9pm. La Trattoria is one of the few restaurants in Adelaide that buck this trend. Located on King William Street, this restaurant offers all your traditional Italian favourites. This family run business has staff that are warm and inviting. The service here is…

Mum’s Kimbab

Looking for a new place to eat, I stumbled onto Mum’s Kimbab located in the Market Plaza food court in the Central Markets. This little takeaway store offers around a dozen of your favourite Korean dishes. Today I ordered their Beef Bulgogi. As I paid, the cashier spoke to the cook in Japanese so I…

Chocolate Taperia

I’m such a regular here, they recognise me when I walk into the store. Located on Melbourne Street, this cute little dessert store offers desserts with Spanish and Latin American influences. The staff were warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Tonight, I had the dessert platter. This consisted of Mini Gelato, Churros, Dark Chocolate Mousse,…

Dolce & Co – Gilbert St

When it comes to fancy state of the art desserts, you really can’t look past Dolce & Co. With dessert moulds costing up to $40K to make and patented dessert designs, the desserts are like components and are individually put together. The sweets at Dolce & Co are beautifully presented and artistic. This is also reflected in…

The Marquis

Wow! The Marquis is an elegant and stylish restaurant. Located towards the eastern end of Gouger Street, everything about this place just oozes style and substance. The restaurant is essentially a glass box where one half is a bar and the other half is the dining area. The main areas are divided by book cases…

Donut King – Adelaide

Mmmm… Donuts… For me, there’s always room for sweets after lunch in town. What better way to satisfy that craving than to visit Donut King. From your Classic Cinnamon donuts to your high calorie Jam Balls, there’s something for everyone. If you don’t feel like donuts, there’s also coffee, cakes, hot dogs and ice cream….

Amarin Thai

Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide. Located just off O’Connell Street, this cosy little restaurant is great for romantic evenings. When I booked a table for two, the staff were thoughtful enough to give us the best seats in the house, the seats next to the french window at the front. The subtle breeze…

Cafe Kowloon

Cafe Kowloon is not my favourite place for yum cha, but sometimes you feel like the same stuff but at a different place. Before coming here, we booked about half an hour earlier and it was quite easy to get a table. Upon entering, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the table we were at…

Cibo – Gouger St – Adelaide

I usually come to Cibo’s when my friend’s want coffee and I want dessert. This is the store I go to after a meal in Chinatown. There’s not much space in the store, but the service is fast and friendly. I went for the Moist Chocolate Cake on this occasion and it was rich and…

Eggless

Eggless is a popular dessert bar located on Goodwood Road. I say it’s popular because you’ll find a long line of people queuing up 30 minutes before opening time. The signage isn’t particularly great so look for the queue as you drive past. They take bookings for 6 or more people, but beware, there are…
