PJ O’Brien’s

I’ve had many a drink at PJ’s over the years, but I’ve never eaten here, until today. At one time, I used to be a regular, because a friend of mine regularly played in a band here. There’d be drinking and there’d be dancing, and on a few occasions I’d still be here at 5am…

Nic & Rocco – Rundle Mall

These Nic & Rocco dessert bars seems to be popping up everywhere with another one just opening up in Rundle Mall. Like their Norwood store, this place is just as small, with seating capacity for a dozen people.

Lawash Bakery & Kebab Shop

From the moment I stepped out of my car, I could smell meat cooking on the charcoal coming from inside this store. From the outside, this place looks old and run down. The inside doesn’t look much better, but it seemed reasonably neat and well presented. Kebabs are the most popular items (mixed, chicken, shami…

Horus Egyptian Cafe & Shisha House

Horus has been around for a while and is one of the first places in Adelaide to offer shisha from a hookah. As the title of the place suggests, shisha is their main seller. There’s a smog of fragrant fumes you have get through before you enter this place. There’s a small seating area at…

Proof

Located in an alleyway on Anster Street, Proof is situated in a unassuming double storey building. The decor here is full of character and old world charm. The dim lighting, the golden reflective ceiling, the tie wearing chefs and the waistcoat wearing bartenders, really gave the feeling I was in a late 19th century English…
