When I was younger, the Ramsgate Hotel was better known as the “Punch Up” pub where two AFL players had some sort of altercation. Thankfully, it’s been out of the news since then, but if some of the online reviews are anything to go by, it wasn’t going to be a pleasant dining experience. After…

Electra House – Launch Party
Adelaide Food Central was invited to the launch party of Electra House. All food and drinks were provided free of charge. Like many of the side streets around the Adelaide CBD, our main thoroughfare, King William Street, is also being revitalised. Electra House is set in an early 1900’s building and has undergone a $10…
The Jungle Restaurant
If the reviews about The Jungle are anything to go by, we were going to have a poor dining experience. With that in the back of our minds, we came here with low expectations. The Jungle specialises in Churrasco BBQ, where cuts of meat are placed on swords and then cooked over charcoal. The meat…
Esplanade Hotel
The Esplanade Hotel, better known as the Espy, is located opposite the jetty on the picturesque shores of Brighton beach. As far as dining goes, there is a cafe on the ground level and a bistro upstairs towards one side. Today, I decided to eat at the cafe as it had better lighting for the…
Seacliff Beach Hotel
About a decade ago, the Seacliff used to be my usual hangout for drinks on a Friday night. I used to live a few suburbs away and I had friends that lived in the area. Of course, things change and so do people’s circumstances, and I found myself not frequenting this place anymore. Fast forward…
Hampshire Hotel
The Hampshire Hotel has been around for well over a century, but in recent times, it had been closed. Less than 6 months ago, the doors had reopened, and it was good to see the pub back in business again. The food offerings here are limited with a handful of starters, salads and mains. Compared…
Wellington Hotel
Just like the Adelaide CBD, North Adelaide has it’s fair share of pubs. One of those pubs in North Adelaide is The Wellington Hotel. This place boasts 20 taps of beer and cider, and an all day food menu. Their food offerings here are a combination of tapas, burgers, grilled meats and traditional pub fare….
Oxford Hotel
The Oxford is located right in the heart of O’Connell Street amongst other popular restaurants and cafes. The menu is your fairly typical pub fare with burgers, pizzas, schnitzels and other internationally inspired dishes. They do have daily meal deals during the week as well as a couple that go all week. As you enter…
Hope Inn Hotel
I’ve driven past The Hope Inn on many occasions without really taking much notice of it. It was only recently that I noticed their weekday meal deals being advertised, which is a good way of getting my attention. The menu looks about as traditional as the establishment with steaks, burgers, pizzas and your traditional pub…
Morphett Arms Hotel
The Morphett Arms Hotel is located near the Morphettville Racecourse on Morphett Road. With plenty of parking available, the venue offers several bars, a bottle shop, accommodation, a bistro, several function rooms and an outdoor courtyard. The menu offerings are typical pub fare with the addition of an all day pizza menu. The clientele at…
