Sunset International Cuisine

Sunset International Cuisine is located on a prime position on Moseley Square, right at the doorstep of Glenelg Jetty. Their menu consists of simple breakfast options as well as Thai, Mexican, Italian and Middle Eastern dishes. When a place offers multiple cuisines, it’s usually an indication that the food is average because mastering multiple cuisines…

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…

Felici Espresso Bar

Every time I walk past Felici, it’s always full. I’m not sure whether it’s all the foot traffic that goes past or whether they just serve great food and beverages. Anyway, it was time to find out. The food menu is written on a chalkboard along the main wall. There are a handful of basic…

Like most gourmet burger joints that have made a name for themselves, Enuf Burger Bar have opened up another store in the popular beachside suburb of Brighton. The menu has been extended since my last visit to the Glenelg store with new burger varieties available as well as a breakfast range. Whether it be chicken,…

Gusto Ristorante

If you ask someone that’s been to Gusto on The Parade, you’ll get varying opinions. Having already eaten at their sister restaurant on Hutt Street, I already knew what to expect in terms of food. The menu is set out like an authentic Italian restaurant with antipasti, pasta, risotto, mains and wood oven pizza. Don’t…

Duthy’s Pizzeria & Pasta

I have a friend who only orders pizza from Duthy’s and swears that it’s the best pizza in Adelaide. As my pizza craving continues, it was time to put this place to the test. Duthy’s is located on Duthy Street in the well-to-do suburb of Unley. Their pizzas are divided into 4 categories; seafood, traditional,…
