Blue Lemon

On my way to a big drinking session at the Adelaide Wine Centre, I stumble (no, I wasn’t drunk yet!) onto Blue Lemon who offer a traditional selection of baguettes. Conveniently located across the road from Adelaide University, a lot of their clientele are university students. Today, I ordered their Smoked Salmon Baguette. It was…

Atomic Burger Bar

I’ve driven past this place so many times when it used to be called something else. In recent times, it’s been given a face lift and is now known as the Atomic Burger Bar. While the signage and menus look more modern, the place itself still looks like an old fish and chip shop. I…

Ga Bin

We came to Ga Bin by chance tonight as the restaurant we were supposed to go to didn’t serve food until 6pm. I had heard reports that this place wasn’t very good, so I came here with little to no expectations. Ga Bin call themselves a Korean restaurant, but as one other reviewer had said,…

Hahndorf German Arms Hotel

Every time I’m up in Hahndorf, I usually eat at the Hahndorf Inn, but after my first visit to the German Arms, I was pleasantly surprised. The venue is considerably spacious, and the decor is traditional with good use of timber. Adjacent tables are a good distance apart, and the dining space over different levels…

River Cafe – Festival of Food 2013

Having been to the fine dining restaurant upstairs a few weeks ago, I already had high expectations of this place. Located in the same building as the Red Ochre restaurant, the River Cafe also provides fantastic views of the city and the Torrens River. The setting is elegant and modern, and the service is excellent….

Tea House Yum Cha

For me, yum cha is starting to taste the same where ever I have it, particularly with the mass production of a lot of the food items. I was even more skeptical when someone suggested we have it in a food court. When I approached Tea House Yum Cha in the Rundle Place food court,…

Cafe de Vili’s

There’s nothing like a 24 hour bakery on the outskirts of the city. With decor straight of the 80’s, this place serves everything you would find in a corner tuck shop, but on a larger scale. I’ve had the chips and gravy from here before, but this time I went for the Caramel and Banana…
