Some eateries have that magic formula, and it’s obvious that European Café on the Parade, Norwood has it. 36 years in business is evidence enough! This casual, busy café has maintained its popularity by continuing to serve delicious, hearty home-style Italian food with lashings of old fashioned Italian hospitality. I’ve been there a number of…

Windy Point Restaurant – Festival of Food 2015 – Revisit
After a not so perfect evening a fortnight ago, Adelaide Food Central was invited back to Windy Point Restaurant for the re-creation of the experience. Once again, it was the Festival of Food journey with the Entree Tasting Plate, a main course of our choice and the Petit Fours. The House-made Ciabatta was so much…
Cibo – Glenelg
Cibo Glenelg is located on Moseley Square, right in the heart of all the action. Better known for their coffee, they also have a selection of savoury and sweet items on their menu. For lunch, I ordered the Piadina Capocollo which is a grilled flatbread with ham, cheese and spinach. The ingredients are so simple…
Cibo – Waymouth St – Adelaide
One of the newer Cibo’s in the city is located on Waymouth Street on the ground floor of the Gallery building. A popular destination among nearby city workers for their coffee, they also offer a selection of sweet and savoury items to satisfy your hunger. For lunch on this occasion, I ordered the Focaccia Pollo…
Lai Thai
I’ve had some bad experiences with Thai food from food courts, mainly because the dishes are pre-prepared and sitting in the warmer. While this is the case with some of the dishes at Lai Thai, the majority is freshly cooked upon ordering. The menu is not as extensive as a cafe or restaurant, nor should…
River Cafe – Festival of Food 2015
I usually make an effort to visit every participating Festival of Food establishment each year, but it’s nearly two years since my last visit to the River Cafe. With the introduction of the smartphone application, we’ve been given a lot more time to visit each restaurant, as compared to the leaflet which had to be…
Naya Bar
At the same location that was once The Editor Dessert and Wine Bar, is Naya, a new cocktail bar. With a food menu that switches from sweet to spicy, anybody that has been to the Spice Kitchen up north would already be familiar with the offerings. Customers get a choice of nibbles, small plates to…
Mai Kitchen

Less than 6 months old, Mai Kitchen is a medium sized restaurant located in the quiet side streets of Ferryden Park. Named after one of the owners, head chef and mother, the…

The decor here…
Dumpling Dumpling
Dumpling Dumpling is a small eatery located inside the new Brickworks Shopping complex. The menu is fairly simple and straight forward with 6 types of dumplings and 2 types of Chinese Rolls. One thing in their favour is you can see the dumplings freshly made and cooked behind the counter. For lunch, I ordered the…
