The Cheesecake Shop – Torrensville

The Cheesecake Shop was first franchised 21 years ago with over 200 stores opened within their first five years. These days, there’s a store in every state of Australia and New Zealand, with new expansions into the United Kingdom and Poland. The Torrensville store is situated on a nice corner position amongst other shops and…

Paleo Cafe

If you read all the negative reviews about this place, you’d naturally be less inclined to pay this place a visit. That was my reaction when I first heard about this place some months ago. Of course, you really don’t know what a place is like until you’ve experienced it for yourself. Paleo is short…

Cotto Espresso – Hyde Park

The newest kid on the block on the coffee bar scene is Cotto Espresso. It’s not their first store in Adelaide with the original Cotto store opening in Woodville eight years ago. Since then the owners have teamed up with the former chief executive of Cibo to take the brand to the next level. This…

Top 25 Burgers

Nothing beats eating a delicious mouth watering burger. Where a beef patty is involved, it should be nice and thick, tender and succulent, with a pinkish centre.

Hey Jupiter

Hey Jupiter is a French inspired cafe located in hipster central down Ebeneezer Place. This quaint little store serves up breakfast, sandwiches, pastries and an assortment of beverages.

Soonta – Waymouth St

Out of the three Soonta stores, this particular one on Waymouth Street seems to be the most popular. Everytime I’ve walked past, there’s always a line 10 people long. Like their other stores, there’s a selection of Vietnamese rolls, salad bowls, noodle bowls, cold rolls and spring rolls to choose from. For lunch, I ordered…

Tanapa Thai

Tanapa Thai is located close to the centre of the Jetty Street cafe precinct in Glenelg. With so many signs around, this place can be easily missed. Like every other Thai place, they offer all your traditional favourites, although the selling point that won me over, were their lunch time specials. Certain parts of this…

Orange Spot Bakery

Orange Spot Bakery are located towards the end of Anzac Highway in Glenelg. Known for their award winning pasties, this bakery is incredibly popular. While I was there, most of the seats were taken and there was a line 10 people deep. With more awards than a Hollywood film festival, you can be sure that they’re doing…

One of the new trends in Adelaide at the moment is Afghan street food. These places specialise in charcoaled kebabs and they seem to be popping up everywhere. Safa Kebab is the latest to open its doors and is located within a small shopping complex on Prospect Road. Set amongst a range of other cuisines…
