When I think of French food, I think of a cuisine that is refined, varied and delicious. From my own personal experience, the portions are smaller, the dishes well presented and the meals are expensive. My friends and I would normally joke about ordering a pizza or grabbing a burger after eating at a French…

Nutrition Republic
Whenever I catch up with friends, it usually involves a meal, dessert or drinks, or a combination thereof. Such a lifestyle can be hazardous to your health because at the end of the day, you really don’t know what you’re eating. Nutrition Republic changes all of this by serving up natural health foods. Whether it…
Colin & Co – Hyde Park
I’ve driven past Colin & Co on King William Road on many occasions, and I’ve been a bit reluctant to visit this place based on my experience at their Grenfell Street store. I’m pleased to say that the two stores are actually different. The Grenfell Street store is more of a shop where people just…
Devour Cafe Patisserie
Devour are like pioneers on the dessert scene as they were one of the first to open up a dessert bar in Adelaide. Branching off on their success is the Devour Cafe Patisserie which is located in the back streets of Richmond. As a cafe, there is a small selection of food offerings for both…
The Maylands Hotel
The Maylands Hotel is located deep within a side street in a popular outer fringe eastern suburb. I’ve actually eaten here many moons ago, and have fond memories of the experience. The place has undergone renovations since my last visit, and I must say the venue looks modern and elegant. There’s a decent selection of…
Chloe’s Restaurant & Function Centre
For nearly three decades, Chloe’s has been synonymous with fine dining in Adelaide. Set in a gracious Victorian villa, customers are brought back in time with elegant dining rooms and a gorgeous marble fireplace. Adorn with antique paintings and silverware, the establishment is filled with so much history. With a cellar that boasts over 10,000…
The Bowery Kitchen & Grocer
Rebranding of businesses seems to be going on a lot lately, whether it be due to a change of owners or just to reinvigorate interest in an existing business. The place used to be called the “Wave Gourmet Cafe and Bar” but is now known as “The Bowery Kitchen and Grocer”. It’s still a supermarket,…
Georges on Waymouth
Georges on Waymouth has been around for well over a decade and is one of the established fine dining restaurants in Adelaide. I came here with high expectations and they certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is located towards the King William Street end, and from the outside, the place doesn’t look like anything special. The…
Kalymnos Pastries
Kalymnos Pastries is small patisserie on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. I didn’t even know this place existed before today, and I didn’t see much signage outside either. When you enter, you’ll see an assortment of sweets and pastries, some of which I’ve never seen or heard of. Seating is limited with several bench seats…
Matcha House
For those that don’t know, matcha (also known as maccha) is a fine powder green tea. Japanese tea ceremonies centre on the preparation, serving and drinking of matcha, however, in modern times, it’s used to flavour and dye foods. I actually came here not knowing what matcha was, but true to their name, most things…
