There aren’t many places in Adelaide where you can have Yum Cha in the evening and an Asian inspired Martini to go with it. Lucky Cat Bar & Dim Sum, formerly known as Suzie Wong’s Room, fills that void. The re-branding of the venue has seen a shift from Eastern European cuisine to the owner’s…

The Warradale
A couple of years ago, The Warradale underwent extensive renovations that added three new bars, a bistro and a bottle shop. It then went on to win three awards in 2013 through the Australian Hotels Association (AHA). A quick glance of the bistro menu shows plenty of variety. There are tapas dishes, oysters, pizzas, steaks,…
Blue Ginger
Blue Ginger is located in small alleyway just off Moseley Square in Glenelg. The moderately sized menu is very pan-Asian with Chinese, Thai and Indian influences. The decor is fairly basic with dated cafe furnishings. It does have bi-fold doors which integrate the outdoor with the indoor dining areas. It also allows plenty of natural…
Hello Kitty Cafe
There are very few occasions where the first store of it’s kind in Australia opens in Adelaide. Less than a week old, Hello Kitty Cafe has opened up in the heart of Chinatown serving up freshly made desserts. The menu consists of over a dozen styles of dessert, each of which will have a cat…
Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls
Vietnamese street food continues to grow in popularity as we see these types of stores pop up all over the state. One of the three stores that I’m aware of down Henley Beach Road is the unimaginatively named Henley Beach Vietnamese Meat Rolls. As their name suggests, they offer five types of bread roll, as…
Perryman’s Bakery
The Tynte Street address has been continuously baking for over 130 years. The Perryman family took over the bakery for 3 generations until it was recently sold in 2011. The business is based on tradition, with many items baked using original German family recipes. The bread is baked fresh each day, and their selections include…
Silk and Spice
Having driven past this place many times, I actually had no idea Silk and Spice existed, let alone the fact that this restaurant has been around for over 5 years. Silk and Spice is located in a renovated bungalow on the busy Henley Beach Road. Excluding the specials, there are over 40 dishes to choose…
Dreamy Donuts
The eastern state airports that I’ve been to have Krispy Kreme, while Adelaide Airport has Dreamy Donuts. First established in Brisbane over 8 years ago, Dreamy Donuts prides itself on using the best possible ingredients. With only one store in Adelaide, locals will have to go through a security checkpoint to get hold of their…
Andy’s Yiros Plus – North Brighton
Andy’s Yiros Plus has two stores in Adelaide, one in North Brighton and the other in Collinswood. The Brighton store is located in a small shopping complex and offers 15 combinations of yiros fillings. There are also 10 different burgers to choose from, hot dogs, yiros hot packs and some vegetarian options. The decor is…
Cucina North Adelaide
Cucina North Adelaide is one of the few places down O’Connell Street that I’ve yet to visit, until tonight. It’s located on the southern end of O’Connell Street, and like other places down the same street, serves up Italian cuisine. The menu is set out in very traditional fashion with entrees, salads, pastas, risottos, main…
