Mother Vine – Four Pillars Gin

It was only by chance, and a last minute decision, that I was brought along to the Adelaide launch of the Four Pillars Gin at the Mother Vine Wine Bar. I must admit, I’ve never been a real fan of gin, however, I was open to further enlightenment. Four Pillars are a small Australian craft…

Uyghur Cuisine

With a name like Uyghur Cuisine, there’s no mistaking what type of food you’ll get at this place. For those who haven’t experienced it, the use of mutton, kebabs and fish are quite common, and in my experience, the dishes are spicy. For lunch, I ordered the Pintoza Salad which consisted of glass noodles, pickled…

Joy Discovery

With two vegan eateries side by side, Bent Street is like the vegan hub of Adelaide. Just like their next door neighbour, Joy Discovery also have their own burger menu, but that’s where the similarities end. The other dishes at this place have more of a subcontinental influence with your dahl and curries. The decor…

Riverside Pizza House

Having been to half a dozen pizza joints in the western suburbs, I had to make more an effort to find one that I hadn’t been to. A quick Google search indicated that the Riverside Pizza House on Tapleys Hill Road was one that I had yet to visit. Upon arrival, I was delighted to…

Bull Creek Bakery

Bull Creek Bakery is a traditional wood oven bakery located at a farm in the Adelaide Hills. Their offerings consist of 5 types of pies, 3 types of bread and Portuguese custard tarts. Their products are found at various markets each weekend as well as a select few businesses. All the beef and vegetables used…

Fulham Fish & Chicken Cafe

I wonder if there is a correlation between the number of fish and chips shops and the distance to the beach. As you drive down Grange Road, the closer you get to the beach, the more of these types of establishments there are. One of these places is Fulham Fish & Chicken which is 1.4km…

Mr Viet

The popularity of Vietnamese street food knows no bounds in Adelaide, as yet another store has opened it’s doors along the busy James Place thoroughfare. Competing with Soonta and Miss Mai, Mr Viet slightly varies their offerings with dishes such as spicy beef noodle soup, fresh egg noodles, rice stick noodle soup, baos and a…

Metro Oyster Bar

A new building development along Field Street will see the introduction of 5 new eateries and form an extension to the popular Gouger Street cafe precinct. One of those new places is the Metro Oyster Bar, which for it’s name sake, offers oysters to be eaten in their natural form or cooked with a variety…

Thailand Thai

I’ve driven down King William Road on so many occasions and I never knew where Thailand Thai was. I knew it was in the area but I wasn’t exactly sure where. It was only recently that a friend and I were wandering down King William Street that I discovered its whereabouts.  The restaurant is tucked…

Jamie’s Italian

During the opening for family and friends last week, I was told there wasn’t going to be a media launch for the opening of Jamie’s Italian in Adelaide. As word broke out of the soft opening yesterday, it was no surprise that the media were out in force interviewing the first few customers that were…
