Bobo H

Bobo H is a rather odd name for a restaurant, however, it stands for Bourgeois Bohemian. It’s the merging of two classes; the elegance and charm of the Bourgeois upper class and the passion and artistic flair of Bohemian culture.

Try not to get “Scuzzi” in North Adelaide confused with “Scoozi” on Rundle Street. They are two different places.
