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…
Delicatessen Kitchen & Bar
The newest bar and eatery to open it’s doors in Adelaide is Delicatessen Kitchen and Bar. Unlike other bars that serve simple snacks like toasties, there’s a strong focus on providing quality French inspired cuisine to complement your drink of choice. Their wine list is predominantly Australian, however, they have a few French offerings to…
Red Lenny’s
I’ve driven past Red Lenny’s on many occasions and I knew the place was going to open soon. I just happened to be in the area today when I noticed they were open for lunch. Without giving it a second thought, I had parked my car in their private parking area at the rear of…
Metro Oyster Bar
A new building development along Field Street will see the introduction of 5 new eateries and form an extension to the popular Gouger Street cafe precinct. One of those new places is the Metro Oyster Bar, which for it’s name sake, offers oysters to be eaten in their natural form or cooked with a variety…
Jamie’s Italian
During the opening for family and friends last week, I was told there wasn’t going to be a media launch for the opening of Jamie’s Italian in Adelaide. As word broke out of the soft opening yesterday, it was no surprise that the media were out in force interviewing the first few customers that were…
800 Degrees
The last two businesses at this specific location have been pizzerias. Considering there is a large wood oven built into the store, it’s only natural that 800 Degrees provide similar offerings. On top of the usual pasta, calzone and sweets, this place has jumped onto the burger bandwagon with a selection of eight of their…
The Pot Food & Wine
Having read positive reviews about this place, The Pot Food & Wine has been on my “to eat” list for quite some time. Upon booking a table, I was told there were two evening dining sessions, one at 6pm and the other at 8pm. This indicated to me that this place had something going for…
Hyde Park Pizza Bar
Hyde Park Pizza Bar is located at the beginning of King William Road as you head out of the city. I’ve been meaning to try this place for quite some time, but with very few seats inside, it always struck me as a place where you’d order take away. When Menulog decided to shout my…
