A refreshed menu featuring alternative beverage pairings, and the biggest wine list in South Australia, welcomes patrons to Hardy’s Verandah Restaurant (HVR) this winter. The Adelaide Hills icon, located within Mt Lofty House (built 1852), is also enjoying 2026 recognition from Wine Spectator in their 2026 Restaurant Awards. HVR’s wine list received a Best of Award of Excellence accolade,…

Cliche

Artwork on restaurant walls is nothing new, however, The Wonderful Winkler Gallery tries to take it to the next level by incorporating an art gallery with a restaurant and bar. Cliche is the current art exhibition which showcases the work of a couple of dozen local artists. With the obvious French theme, the menu, drinks…

Natee Thai – Relocated Store

Natee Thai is located on the western end of Jetty Road, literally metres away from Glenelg Beach. It had humble beginnings on Pulteney Street in the city and has since moved and replaced what used to be the Oyster Shop. The menu looks vaguely familiar but is full of your traditional Thai favourites. Like all…

St Louis House of Fine Ice Cream & Dessert – Glenelg

The opening of St Louis’s second store in the heart of Glenelg is a winning move. Literally metres away from the beach, it’s ideally located and will attract customers looking for an ice cream fix on a hot Summer day. Anybody that has been to their city store would already be familiar with their menu;…

Kathmandu Palace

Kathmandu Palace is located in a lovely historical building on Nile Street in Glenelg. Conveniently located on a side street, there was plenty of street parking to be found, particularly if you come here straight after work. Anybody familiar with Nepalese cuisine would know of it’s strong Indian influences as seen in its menu. The…

Hogs Breath Cafe – Glenelg

Having been to many Hog’s Breath Cafes around the country, no two stores are the same when it comes to the execution of the meals. I’ve known for some time that the Glenelg store is one of the better ones in Adelaide. This place even has beach views if you look out the balcony and…

Froth & Fodder

Froth & Fodder is a hipster cafe, located within a small group of shops, behind a shopping complex in Kurralta Park. Every time I’ve driven past this place, the cafe is always full, so that’s usually a sign that they’re doing something right. Their food offerings can be summarised as 7 brunch items, 3 salads…

La Rambla Tapas Bar

Peel Street has come a long way from being a dark alleyway to a vibrant trendy hotspot right in the heart of the city. With the spate of new bars and restaurants down the street, the revitalisation has been a successful one. The latest establishment to join the ranks is La Rambla, a place that…

Sanctuary Tea House

Craving for a Vietnamese Roast Pork Roll, I once again turn to the Banh Mi Locator smartphone application. It directs me to the Sanctuary Tea House which is located inside the Westfield Marion Shopping Centre. It’s not inside the food court, but on the ground level directly under it. As their name suggests, they have…

Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum

There aren’t many places in Adelaide where you can have Yum Cha in the evening and an Asian inspired Martini to go with it. Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum, formerly known as Suzie Wong’s Room, fills that void. The re-branding of the venue has seen a shift from Eastern European cuisine to the owner’s…

The Warradale

A couple of years ago, The Warradale underwent extensive renovations that added three new bars, a bistro and a bottle shop. It then went on to win three awards in 2013 through the Australian Hotels Association (AHA). A quick glance of the bistro menu shows plenty of variety. There are tapas dishes, oysters, pizzas, steaks,…
