It’s a bit of a catch 22 when you want to go out for dinner, with a large group on a Friday night, and you haven’t made a booking, particularly in the busy Rundle Street cafe precinct. While wandering around aimlessly, we discovered that Alfresco’s was able to accommodate us, however, the number of empty…

East End Yiros
East End Yiros really give their competition a run for their money. Located on the quieter Eastern end of Grenfell Street, East End Yiros make some of the best yiros I have eaten in Adelaide. The store itself is small, with seating upstairs, several on the ground floor, and the majority outside. You could probably…
Mama’s Pierogi – Gawler Pl
It was a coworker of Polish descent who told me about the new Mama’s Pierogi cafe on Gawler Place. I’ve heard of the name before, as they have an outlet somewhere in the suburbs as well as a stockist in the Central Markets. Keen to experience some Polish cuisine, I decided to give this place…
Etica Ethical Pizzeria & Mozzarella Bar
When a pizzeria advertises they use “organic” vegetables, you know you’re going to be paying a lot. When they also say the meat they put on the pizza has been farmed using “ethical” practices, you might as well hand over your wallet. What was once a dental practice on Gilles Street, is now home to…
Yiros Plus
What would a food court be without a Yiros food outlet? At the new Rundle Place food court, Yiros Plus is the new kebab store in town. Besides the usual Lamb and Chicken Yiros, this place also sells a variety of Turkish Pides (also known as Turkish Pizzas) and Baked Potatoes. Today, I ordered the…
Rigoni’s Bistro
Rigoni’s is Italian fine dining at it’s best. This place is really popular and the menu prices are bit higher than normal. It is only when you come here that you realise it’s actually worth paying a bit more. The decor is classical and stylish with beautiful cornices that adorn the ceilings. The atmosphere is…
National Wine Centre
Adelaide is the number one wine producing state in Australia, so it’s fitting we have a National Wine Centre. I’ve been lucky enough to come here for all sorts of reasons from functions and conferences to cocktail and wine tasting. I’m a regular here on Friday afternoons. On a Friday every fortnight, they have Uncorked…
Eros Ouzeri
Eros Ouzeri is located on the eastern end of Rundle Street. The decor is simple and elegant, however, the service here is unbelievably slow. Granted it was a busy night, it took a waitress 30 minutes to take our order. Tonight, I ordered the Souvlaki. The meal came out after a 15 minute wait but…
Botanic Bar
The Botanic Bar is such a classy establishment. The classical old style interior and the consistently wonderful ambience set this place apart from the rest. The seating is comfortable, the staff are friendly and how could you not go past the $6 pizzas! Tonight, I went for the Turkish Lamb Pizza. The pizzas are simple…
Amalfi
Amalfi is so good that you shouldn’t even bother trying to come here without a booking. The dining area is efficiently used at this place. For what could be described as cosy, they’ve tried to cram in as many tables and seats into the restaurant as possible. The atmosphere is vibrant with waiters hustling past…
