Hardy’s Verandah – New Menu Items & Alternative Beverage Pairing

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,…

Grind It

You know a place is good when there’s always a line up of customers waiting to dine in. Either that, or the place is too small. Grind It is located on Moseley Street, just off Jetty Road as you head towards the beach. The place is small, although I think you could cram 50 skinny…

Langtang Nepalese Restaurant

I can’t say I know of too many restaurants down Jeffcott Street in North Adelaide, and it was only by chance, I discovered this place as I was driving to another restaurant. Set in historical looking building is Langtang, a restaurant that offers Nepalese cuisine. The decor is modern with a few Nepalese twists. The…

Sah Modern Mediterranean

Sah is located on the northern end of O’Connell Street with their specialty being tapas, paella and other dishes of European influence. I’m not really a fan of tapas, mainly due to the number of dishes you have to order to get full. Of course, part of me is keen to try new places so…

Zambrero – Hindley Street

While having a big night on the town, one usually looks for some sort of sustenance to soak up all the alcohol. One of the healthier options available in the early hours of the morning is Zambrero. It’s essentially the Mexican version of Subway. Pick you style, pick your filling, pick your salsa, pick your…

ISPA Kebabs

ISPA Kebabs is a take away outlet located right in the centre of Harbour Town. Their specialty is yiros, however, they also sell falafels, and fish and chips. For lunch, I ordered the Lamb Plate. It was good to see them freshly carve the meat off the spit straight after I ordered. The meal was ready…

Fiesta Cafe

Fiesta Cafe is a take away outlet located right in the centre of Harbour Town. They specialise in both Mexican and Turkish food. The Mexican offerings are fairly standard with your nachos, burritos, tacos and enchiladas. The Turkish food comes in the form of pides which come with various fillings. I can only think of…

Veesao

The hottest food trends in Adelaide last year were dessert bars, burger joints and all things Mexican. This year, we’re seeing a lot of restaurants with Latin American influences. The Onyx Dessert Lounge (now Onnyx – note the 2 n’s) has revamped itself and introduced Brazilian food, which is a first for Adelaide. Now what’s…

Chef Kim Korean Restaurant

I’m a big fan when it comes to Korean food and I’ve always wanted to visit this place since it opened 8 months ago. It was only today that I happened to be in the area that I decided to pop in for lunch. The restaurant is conveniently located at the beginning of Devereux Road…

Fire On Unley

Latin American cuisine seems to be all the craze at the moment with one of the newer stores being Fire On Unley. Located on the popular Unley Road cafe precinct, this restaurant specialises in Argentinian cuisine as well as wood fired pizza. The first thing that strikes you about this place is the stylish and…

Out Of The Blue Cafe

Out of the Blue is a small cafe located on the southern end of King William Street. The name of the place sounds so generic that I would have never picked it to serve Thai food. I guess this place caught me “out of the blue”. The decor here is basic, however, it is neat…
