Having been to the fine dining restaurant upstairs a few weeks ago, I already had high expectations of this place. Located in the same building as the Red Ochre restaurant, the River Cafe also provides fantastic views of the city and the Torrens River. The setting is elegant and modern, and the service is excellent….

Mylk Bar
Adelaide will no longer be known as the “City of Churches”, but more the “City of Bars”. Mylk bar is one of the latest bars to open up in Adelaide. Located on Flinders Street, at the Victoria Square end, most of the clientele that visit here are white collar workers. The external facade of this…
Sebel Playford Adelaide
Eating a lunch time meal at the bar is one thing, but dining at the restaurant is a totally different experience. Tonight, I had a perfect 3 course meal with absolutely nothing to fault. The meals came out 15 minutes after ordering, and each subsequent course was very well timed. SPICY SOY GLAZED QUAIL –…
Bond & Lane Canteen
You would be surprised at the number of old shopfronts that are found in the suburban backstreets. Some of them are converted into residences, while others remain empty till this very day. Bond and Lane Canteen, on the other hand, have continued with past traditions, and opened up a cafe serving breakfast, lunch, sweets and…
Red Ochre Grill – Festival of Food 2013
Red Ochre is a modern Australian fine dining restaurant located right on the banks of the River Torrens. The place is located upstairs and has magnificent views of the river and the city skyline. The decor is simple yet elegant. The use of natural timber makes this place so Australian. I love the floor to…
Botanic Gardens Restaurant – Festival of Food 2013
If you’ve never been to the Botanic Gardens before, this restaurant may be hard to find. Thankfully, they have large maps at each entrance that tell you where you are, and where the restaurant is. With such beautiful surroundings, having a fine dining restaurant within the gardens just makes perfect sense. The place itself specialises…
Peel Street
I love trying out new places and when I heard this place opened several weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to check it out. Not much imagination went into the naming of this place. Peel Street is located on Peel Street. The decor is stylish and chique, with a warehouse feel about it. The exposed ceilings…
Teal Turtle Cafe
The Teal Turtle is a nice little cafe close to the foreshores of Port Noarlunga beach. With nice views of the ocean from their outdoor dining area, it’s a wonderful place to relax and watch the world go by. While the outside looks more commercial, the inside reveals a renovated house. There is plenty of…
Apothecary 1878
They say to properly critique a place, you need to go there several times. The first time I visited this place, I had tapas in the bar area and the customer service wasn’t exactly the best. Tonight, we dined in the restaurant area, located in the basement of the building, and the experience was top…
Food For Thought
I must admit, I had very little expectation for this place when I found out this place used to be Glow, and had been subsequently rebadged. Similar home style cooked meals were available and the interior decor was identical to my last visit. Today, I ordered the Cajun Chicken in Turkish Bread. The meals were…
