Five Little Figs is a quaint little cafe located on the side streets of Payneham South.

Kicco – Glenelg
Kicco is an espresso bar located right in the centre of the Bayside Village shopping complex in Glenelg. It’s one of three stores with the same name in Adelaide. My coffee loving friends come here religiously and they won’t even consider anywhere else. Their point of difference is their use of superior beans which are…
The Travelling Greek
Opening for its third weekend in The Market Shed on Holland is The Travelling Greek. Set up as a small stall towards the rear, this place offers a small selection of hot meals, salads, sweets and savoury products. The Vegetarian Mezze Plate was of interest as you get a bit of everything, however, there is…
Thai Chef – Revisit
With so many restaurants and cafes in Adelaide, and the constant flow of new ones opening, one can get away with not visiting the same place twice. Of course, if my last dining experience was a memorable positive experience, there is really no hesitation with a revisit. That’s how I feel with Thai Chef. As…
Mazzoni Gelato
The competition for the dessert dollar is certainly getting tough down Rundle Street with the opening of Mazzoni Gelato down the eastern end.

Bononia

As their name suggests, gelato is their specialty and there are a fair few flavours to choose from. They also have…
Pure Green Vegan Restaurant
As someone who eats out a lot, coming across a vegan restaurant is a bit of a blessing as a healthy meal once in a while will do me some good. Pure Green Vegan has recently opened up on the popular Hutt Street cafe precinct and offers a healthier alternative when compared to all the…
Patisserie Jin – Revisit
It’s been 18 months since my last visit to Patisserie Jin. We just had an unsatisfying meal at a nearby restaurant, and thought we would fill ourselves up by paying this place a visit. A glance of the menu indicated nothing much had changed in terms of their dessert offerings. There’s the fondant, apple tartin,…
Live a Little Artisan Gelato
There are over a dozen places around Adelaide where you can get Live a Little gelato, however, if you happen to be at The Market Shed on a Sunday morning, they also have a stall there too. There are 6 flavours of gelato available as well as Belgian Waffles and Crepes. At Live a Little,…
