CJ’s Kitchen

In my quest to find Adelaide’s best Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I find myself at CJ’s Kitchen, which is a small deli on Sturt Road in Warradale. There are 5 types of Vietnamese roll fillings, pies, pasties, sausage rolls, hot dogs, hamburgers and sandwiches on offer. CJ’s Kitchen has the look and feel of a…

Oasis Deli

In some ways, having a small sandwich shop right in the heart of Glenelg on Moseley Square is almost genius. Oasis Deli can provide cheap simple meals in the form of breakfast options, wraps, rolls, sandwiches, spuds and hot dogs, and caters for the market that don’t want to spend too much money. It’s location…

Europa at the Bay

I’ve heard many good things about Europa at the Bay, and it was one of the few places down Jetty Road that I had yet to visit. It has a menu set out like a traditional Italian restaurant with breads, small plates, fish, meat, pasta, risotto, salads and pizza. With two other establishments that serve…

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…

Jamface Table

Anybody that has watched Masterchef or Poh’s Kitchen would be familiar with Poh Ling Yeow. Well not only does she have a stall at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market, she also has one at The Market Shed on Holland. The Market Shed location doesn’t have the full range of products, in fact, I could only…

Ichitaro Dining

Ichitaro Dining is a modern Japanese restaurant located on the popular King William Road cafe precinct. Japanese restaurants are traditionally expensive, but when the word “modern” is used, I think smaller well presented servings are to be expected. Like most places these days, the sharing of dishes is encouraged, and this is reflected in the…

Golden Charm Thai

Golden Charm is located on the quieter western side of the city towards the West Terrace end. There are roughly two dozen dishes to choose from with many of the classic favourites on offer. These include a selection of noodles, curries, stir fried dishes and soups. Like all good establishments, they also have a lunch…

Movenpick – Grand Opening

Adelaide Food Central was invited to the Grand Opening of Movenpick which launched its first Adelaide gallery on the corner of Hindley and Leigh Street. The new Swiss inspired dessert destination can be found on one of Adelaide’s most popular thoroughfares, and has ample seating for over 80 customers. Inspired by Swiss restaurants in the…

Marion Road Fish and Grill

At the same location that was once the Atomic Burger Bar is the more generically named Marion Road Fish and Grill. The main offering at the previous establishment was the “Atomic Bomb” which is better known to Adelaideans as the “AB”. The current store continues the tradition with lamb and chicken AB’s in 3 different…

Bom Dia Bowls Acai Bar

As someone who eats out quite regularly, I see all the trends when it comes to new eateries. As people becomes more health conscious, we’re starting to see an increase in health food stores pop up around the city. The latest place to join the health food bandwagon is Bom Dia Bowls, a store that…
