Georges on Waymouth

Georges on Waymouth has been around for well over a decade and is one of the established fine dining restaurants in Adelaide. I came here with high expectations and they certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is located towards the King William Street end, and from the outside, the place doesn’t look like anything special. The…

Grill’d – Norwood

Nothing can really beat a free burger give away to mark the opening of Adelaide’s first Grill’d burger store. That’s exactly what Grill’d Norwood have done in offering free burgers for the first 1000 customers. Grill’d has been around for nearly a decade and are quite prominent in the eastern states. Like other successful interstate…

Modinetti

My friend works nearby and I’m always working out where our next lunch destination is along Henley Beach Road. I’ve driven past Modinetti on several occasions and I thought it was time to check them out. The venue is somewhat cosy with around 20 seats cramped closely together in the front section. There a couple…

Kalymnos Pastries

Kalymnos Pastries is small patisserie on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. I didn’t even know this place existed before today, and I didn’t see much signage outside either. When you enter, you’ll see an assortment of sweets and pastries, some of which I’ve never seen or heard of. Seating is limited with several bench seats…

Cherry Blossom Sushi – Henley Beach Rd

Cherry Blossom Sushi is a sushi franchise that has 7 stores across the state. One of their newer stores is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. Unlike some of their other stores, this particular store is standalone and has seats for just under a dozen people. While their normal seating is practical, I found…

Southwark Hotel

The Southwark Hotel is one of Adelaide’s oldest hotels and has been around for well over a century. The inside looks old and outdated and desperately in need of an upgrade. The main dining area is out at the back with a few outdoor seats adjacent to their liquor drive through. The menu is fairly…

Jarmer’s Kitchen

At the site that was formerly Plant 13, is the brand new eatery, Jarmer’s Kitchen. The venue has been given a new face lift with a fresh coat of paint, new furniture and potted plants. The floor plan hasn’t changed and there’s still plenty of natural light coming from it’s two frontages. With a casual…

Matcha House

For those that don’t know, matcha (also known as maccha) is a fine powder green tea. Japanese tea ceremonies centre on the preparation, serving and drinking of matcha, however, in modern times, it’s used to flavour and dye foods. I actually came here not knowing what matcha was, but true to their name, most things…

Moonsoon

When I first briskly walked past this place at the beginning of the year, I initially thought the name of this restaurant was “Monsoon”. It seemed a bit odd that they would use the same name as an Indian restaurant also in North Adelaide. After a bit of research, I discovered they were “Moonsoon”, a…

Bim’s Bar

Bim’s Bar is a new take away store located at the former Sushi Crane site. Based close to the corner of King William and Pirie Streets, this store extends the previous Japanese offerings to include Korean cuisine as well. The place is tiny and can barely fit all the standing customers during the lunch hour…
