Mediterranean Cafe Ristorante

A sign of a good place is a constant flow of customers throughout the day, where getting a seat can often prove difficult. This pretty much sums up the Mediterranean which is located on the beachside suburb of Glenelg South. The menu is fairly extensive and offers a good selection of pizzas, pastas, meat and…

Vino Ristorante

Vino is conveniently located on the city fringe on the popular Unley Road cafe precinct. Having eaten at many of the neighbouring restaurants, it was time to pay this place a visit. A quick glance at the menu through the window suggests a fairly authentic menu with a good selection of pizzas, pastas, seafood and…

Cecconi’s on O’Connell

In some ways, O’Connell Street is like The Parade with the number of Italian restaurants down the one street. The latest to open it’s doors on the busy cafe precinct is Cecconi’s which replaces the former Italian Cafe Vagabondo.

Miss Perez Kitchen & Bar

Cucina Forno

I have to admire the owners of this place for their persistence and determination, especially with the second re-branding of the business. The cafe was originally Alfresco’s, specialising in Italian cuisine. The store then underwent a facelift and became Sliders on Rundle, which incorporated burgers and hot dogs to capitalise on Adelaide’s American fast food…

Panacea – Festival of Food 2014

My last visit to Panacea was nearly two years ago, and based on what I wrote at the time, the group had quite a good experience. While I had been there for a normal tapas meal, I was curious to see what they were like as part of the Festival of Food deal. For $29.50,…

La Moka

With small bar licences being handed out like pamphlets at a voting booth, the once dark and dingey Peel Street alleyway has been transformed into a vibrant and trendy social destination, giving life to the laneway culture that we so often see in Melbourne. A handful of new bars have opened since I last walked…
