Betel Leaf Cafe
I’ve read that Betel Leaf Cafe makes one of the best Roast Pork Rolls in Adelaide, and today, I was here to find out for myself. Betel Leaf Cafe is located on Grange Road in Seaton. The venue looks deceptively small, however it has the capacity to comfortably seat 40. The decor is modern and…
Bobo H
Bobo H is a rather odd name for a restaurant, however, it stands for Bourgeois Bohemian. It’s the merging of two classes; the elegance and charm of the Bourgeois upper class and the passion and artistic flair of Bohemian culture. Set in a gorgeous heritage listed building, complete with solid marble walls and 10m high ceilings,…

For lunch, I ordered…
Little Canton
Little Canton is a Chinese restaurant found in a small shopping complex on Henley Beach Road in Mile End. While the restaurant doesn’t appear to be large from the outside, the venue is deceptively spacious. The interior is basic and well presented, and there is an abundance of natural light that flows through their floor…
Ginza Miyako – Dinner Menu
Never in the history of Adelaide Food Central has the exact same place been reviewed twice. After a recent lunch time visit to Ginza Miyako, I was told that the dinner menu was more of a true representation of what they’re about. The dinner menu, not surprisingly, has more offerings, and some of the dishes…
