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,…

Southwark Hotel

The Southwark Hotel is one of Adelaide’s oldest hotels and has been around for well over a century. The inside looks old and outdated and desperately in need of an upgrade. The main dining area is out at the back with a few outdoor seats adjacent to their liquor drive through. The menu is fairly…

Jarmer’s Kitchen

At the site that was formerly Plant 13, is the brand new eatery, Jarmer’s Kitchen. The venue has been given a new face lift with a fresh coat of paint, new furniture and potted plants. The floor plan hasn’t changed and there’s still plenty of natural light coming from it’s two frontages. With a casual…

Matcha House

For those that don’t know, matcha (also known as maccha) is a fine powder green tea. Japanese tea ceremonies centre on the preparation, serving and drinking of matcha, however, in modern times, it’s used to flavour and dye foods. I actually came here not knowing what matcha was, but true to their name, most things…

Moonsoon

When I first briskly walked past this place at the beginning of the year, I initially thought the name of this restaurant was “Monsoon”. It seemed a bit odd that they would use the same name as an Indian restaurant also in North Adelaide. After a bit of research, I discovered they were “Moonsoon”, a…

Bim’s Bar

Bim’s Bar is a new take away store located at the former Sushi Crane site. Based close to the corner of King William and Pirie Streets, this store extends the previous Japanese offerings to include Korean cuisine as well. The place is tiny and can barely fit all the standing customers during the lunch hour…

Little NNQ

Little NNQ is a new Vietnamese restaurant that has opened up on the busy Gouger Street cafe precinct. “NNQ” stands for “Nghi Ngan Quan” which is the name of the successful parent restaurant in Ferryden Park. With separate lunch time and dinner menus, this place offers all your classic Vietnamese dishes. The decor at this…

Kefi

Kefi is located on Tapleys Hill Road in Glenelg and is best described as a Greek Tavern that sells cafe style food. This place is quite popular, and in order to get a table, you’ll need to book well in advance. They also have a reputation for large servings so it’s best to come here…

Tasty Bud Cafe

There’s a fair number of Vietnamese eateries opening around the city at the moment, and Tasty Bud Cafe is one of the latest to open it’s doors. Located on Gawler Place, on the former site of Mama Pierogi, the cafe offers home style Vietnamese dishes, Vietnamese rolls, snacks and sweets. The cafe is family run…

The Brunswick

The Duke of Brunswick (or just The Brunswick) is located on the south west corner of the city on Gilbert Street. I’ve been to this place on many occasions but never ventured further than the front bar or the upstairs function room. From what I have seen, these two areas have an original art deco…

Saray Kebab

Saray Kebab is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville amongst various shops and eateries. The decor is modern and well presented with prominent use of black and white. Entrance into the place is via aluminium bi-fold doors which also maximises the amount of natural light. As their name suggests, charcoal cooked kebabs are their…
