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,…

Mr Viet

The popularity of Vietnamese street food knows no bounds in Adelaide, as yet another store has opened it’s doors along the busy James Place thoroughfare. Competing with Soonta and Miss Mai, Mr Viet slightly varies their offerings with dishes such as spicy beef noodle soup, fresh egg noodles, rice stick noodle soup, baos and a…

Metro Oyster Bar

A new building development along Field Street will see the introduction of 5 new eateries and form an extension to the popular Gouger Street cafe precinct. One of those new places is the Metro Oyster Bar, which for it’s name sake, offers oysters to be eaten in their natural form or cooked with a variety…

Loft Oyster and Wine Bar – Dinner Menu

As one of the most stylish and sophisticated bars in Adelaide, Loft Oyster and Wine Bar has always been known for it’s extensive wine list and delicious selection of cocktails. While oysters and other small plates were a source of sustenance, the bar has decided to develop their food offerings further with the introduction of…

Thailand Thai

I’ve driven down King William Road on so many occasions and I never knew where Thailand Thai was. I knew it was in the area but I wasn’t exactly sure where. It was only recently that a friend and I were wandering down King William Street that I discovered its whereabouts. The restaurant is tucked…

Jamie’s Italian

During the opening for family and friends last week, I was told there wasn’t going to be a media launch for the opening of Jamie’s Italian in Adelaide. As word broke out of the soft opening yesterday, it was no surprise that the media were out in force interviewing the first few customers that were…

James Buns

From the same people that brought you Moodle and Asian Puzzle Canteen, now bring you James Buns. I’ve seen businesses perform a re-branding, but rarely have I seen it done twice within a short space of time. I admire their persistence and think it’s a clever way to get me to visit their establishment on…

Pera Kahve

I’ve noticed that most of the eateries down Jetty Road are concentrated towards the western end. It was my desperate search for food that lead me to Pera Kahve as there wasn’t much else near by. Pera Kahve is open for breakfast and lunch and offers a unique selection of Turkish dishes, as well as…

Glenelg Burger Bar

When we thought we’d seen enough burger joints in Adelaide, another one pops up. While there are other places that offer burgers near by, Glenelg Burger Bar is the only place dedicated to burgers along Jetty Road. What makes this place different to the others? The meat is marinated using Middle Eastern herbs and spices….

Botanic Gardens Restaurant – Festival of Food 2014

It’s almost 12 months to the day since I last ate at the Botanic Gardens Restaurant. I don’t normally visit the same restaurant twice, but if my past experience was favourable, I don’t mind coming back and ordering something else. Of course, this is the second year in a row that we’ve come here with…

The Little Cake Tin

I find the food truck concept very appealing, especially when you have a variety of food products that can be prepared on or off site and then sold on the day. There’s no rental costs, the utilities would be cheaper and you can move your business to different locations. The Little Cake Tin is one…
