My Kingdom for a Horse

I can’t even begin to keep track of the number of coffee stores we have in Adelaide. We’re actually very lucky because we’re spoilt for choice. A majority of the stores are located within the heart of the city where there is a lot of foot traffic, however, there are the occasional ones that are…

The Amazon Basin – VIP Night

The Amazon Basin is one of Adelaide’s newest and unique dining destinations. Run by a husband and wife team, Huy and Jody, the couple have created an establishment that provides wines, desserts, tapas and fine whisky. It was Huy’s love of fish that saw the installation of Adelaide’s largest aquarium. Combine that with his passion…

Assaggio Cafe

Assaggio Ristorante over in Hyde Park has to be one of my favourite Italian restaurants in Adelaide. I always knew they had a cafe over in Newton and it was only until now that I had a chance to check them out. The menu at Assaggio Cafe is as extensive as it gets with soups,…

Koko Thai is the latest to join the group, but interestingly enough, the last two restaurants at the same location were also Thai. Tonight, Adelaide Food Central was invited to sample some of the dishes that Koko Thai had to offer. All…

Only 12 months old, Kitchen 2c is located in Hahndorf and is run by two chefs who are passionate about seasonal and wholesome food. With few items on the menu, all the ingredients are sourced from local businesses and the offerings are constantly changing. In case you’re wondering, the “2c” in the title can be…

Maid Mice – Zomato Meetup

My last visit to Maid Mice was when they first opened about 9 months ago. I was impressed with their food then as I was tonight. As part of a Zomato meetup, Adelaide Food Central, along with other bloggers, were invited to sample some more of their dishes. All food and drink were provided free…

Scott & La Prova Wines

There’s nothing better than spending a beautiful Spring day at a winery in Hahndorf. Only a quick 15 minute drive from the city and we’re in the beautiful country side. So lucky we are to live in Adelaide. Today, Adelaide Food Central was invited to sample the wine tasting flight for the newly released La…
