Taste Restaurant

With the steady expansion of the Chinatown, we’re slowly seeing eateries move into the side streets, away from the busy Gouger Street cafe precinct. The new Taste Restaurant moves all the way to Wright Street, replacing the former Police office. The menu is a combination of traditional and fusion with a selection of noodles, wonton,…

Cecconi’s on O’Connell

In some ways, O’Connell Street is like The Parade with the number of Italian restaurants down the one street. The latest to open it’s doors on the busy cafe precinct is Cecconi’s which replaces the former Italian Cafe Vagabondo. The menu is predominantly Italian with mains, pastas, pizzas, calzone and risottos. The decor is modern…

Vietnamese Laundry – Adelaide – Sturt Street

Vietnamese Street Food has been all the rage this year as we see yet another place open in the form of Vietnamese Laundry. Located on Sturt Street, the name of the establishment is based on the former use of the building, a laundromat. While it’s location in the south western corner of the city may…

Vietnamese Food On The Run

It was only a matter of time that Vietnamese street food was to be delivered from a food truck, and the appropriately named Vietnamese Food On The Run is the first to come onto the scene. The truck itself is larger than average and is not as well decked out as some of the others….

The Broadway Hotel

The Broadway Hotel is located on Broadway in Glenelg South. Away from the busy Jetty Road cafe precinct, it’s frequented by locals and nearby workers. Offering your fairly typical pub fare, I was drawn in by their lunch time specials at both the bistro and front bar sections. The Broadway is one of the few…

Fleurieu Bites is run by a husband and wife chef team that are committed to providing locally sourced, fresh, healthy and handcrafted food. Open throughout the day, except on Sundays, this place serves wholesome healthy breakfasts and lunches. On top of that, there are house made cakes and desserts, as well as a selection of…

Cafe TOB

Cafe TOB (Trading on Broadway) is an extension to the main store which sells gifts, furniture and interior decor. It only makes sense to offer customers food and beverages as shopping certainly works up an appetite. The menu is small with 8 items on offer, however, it’s the quality of the dishes and not the…
