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.

Bread & Bone Wood Grill

Adelaide’s love affair with burgers continues as we see a new burger joint, Bread & Bone Wood Grill, open up on the revitalised Peel Street. Several partners within the business also run Press, which serves up arguably the best burger in Adelaide. So what’s the point of difference with this place when it comes to…

Dera

There are a lot of Indian restaurants out there that serve dishes that we’re all familiar with, mainly because customers order what they like and are accustomed to. Dera are one of the few Indian restaurants to serve classical western favourites as well as a selection of not so familiar authentic curries. This place prides…

Sit Lo

As someone who eats out quite often, I see a lot of trends in the food industry. Last year, burger joints and dessert bars were quite popular, while this year there are eateries with Latin American influences and Vietnamese street food. Sit Lo is located on the new revitalised Bank Street and is the lastest…

Cafe Froot

Cafe Froot is one of the numerous places along Semaphore Road where you can sit down and have breakfast. What makes this place different is that you can order breakfast at any hour of the day. There are over a dozen breakfast options with nothing too overly complicated. There is a lunch and dinner menu…

The Rolling Pin – Semaphore

I’ve read good things about The Rolling Pin out in Magill, but I’ve never had the chance to drive out there to check it out. Thanks to their success, they’ve opened two new stores out in the western suburbs, one in Semaphore and the other in Port Adelaide. The Semaphore store is located right in…

Sheesha Lounge Plus

Sheesha lounges seem to be all the rage these days with new establishments popping up all over the state. Hindley Street is really where it all started with several places offering the flavoured water pipes. While the toxic substances from sheesha are masked with more pleasant flavours, this particular past time, which is quite popular…

Krispy Kreme – West Croydon

For so many years, the people of Adelaide have been deprived of Krispy Kreme donuts. The most common way they were brought into the state was by purchasing them at an eastern state airport. It was only earlier this week that the first of four Krispy Kreme donut stores opened in Adelaide. For four consecutive…

UR Caffe

When I’m out and about at a particular location, I try to visit several places in the one outing. I might have a meal at one place and perhaps something a little sweeter at another. On this occasion, my sweet tooth was going to be satisfied at UR Caffe. UR Caffe is located towards the…

Monsoon Indian Restaurant

Monsoon is an Indian restaurant located on the busy Melbourne Street cafe strip. Their regular menu is fairly extensive with all your Indian favourites as well as some dishes that I’ve never heard of. Not feeling too hungry, I came here for their $10 lunch menu which is a choice of 7 different curries with…

Yummy Banh Mi

With the rising popularity of Vietnamese rolls in Adelaide, it just wouldn’t be right if there wasn’t a local store down Semaphore Road. Located close to the beach, Yummy Banh Mi is situated amongst popular pubs, cafes and restaurants. As their name suggests, Vietnamese meat rolls are their specialty with 8 types of filling to…
