Located in a prime position on the busy Semaphore Road cafe precinct is The Corner Store on Semaphore. The interior is very quirky, yet full of character. There’s a bike on a fridge, an an assortment of tables and chairs, and a feature wall that matches the coffee machine. It’s all quite unique with French…

Pira Thai
Pira Thai is a small restaurant located outside the city fringe in Unley. This place came highly recommended so I came here expecting a good meal. I’ve also read reviews about how the decor isn’t that great. I’d have to agree. It’s fairly basic, however, it’s still neat and well presented. Their menu offers all…
Banh Mi – Grenfell Plaza
If anybody has been to Chinatown down where the old food court is, they would be familiar with Banh Mi. Well, they happen to have another store at Grenfell Plaza, right behind the Hugo Boss store on Grenfell Street. Besides the fact I was craving for a Vietnamese roll, I couldn’t help notice the busy…
Ginza Japanese Restaurant
There are few Japanese restaurants that I haven’t been to in Adelaide, and Ginza was one of them. I’ve heard plenty of reports of how good their yakiniku (grilled meat) barbecue is, so I was here to try it out. The front of the restaurant is the formal dining section which looks quite modern and…
Topaz Bar & Restaurant
Topaz Bar and Restaurant is part of the Findon Hotel. From the outside, the building looks old and tired, however, on the inside the venue has an American diner feel about it. There is plenty of natural light coming from the atrium, however, certain parts of the restaurant section feel dark and gloomy. There’s an…
Noodle and Dumpling House
The thing I love about the Central Market is that the food is cheap, and we’re not even talking about sitting inside a food court. Noodle and Dumpling House is a prime example. The food is typical Chinese with main meals around the $15 mark. The store itself is deceptive in size but efficiently used….
Thu Nguyen
If it wasn’t for the name of this place you’d think it was just a typical lunch bar selling sandwiches and rolls. They do sell these items, however, the Vietnamese owner also has Roast Pork rolls on the menu. Without any hesitation, I ordered one. Made on the spot and packaged in a blank white…
You Like Rolls
Driving down Grange Road, I know of 4 different stores that sell Vietnamese Roast Pork Rolls. You Like Rolls is one of the first stores you’ll come across as you drive out the city. The store is quite small with a handful of seats, while the menu is simple and straight forward with a selection…
Vietnam Sunrise
I’ve driven past Vietnam Sunrise so many times without giving this place much thought. The black exterior just makes this place uninviting, however once you walk in, it is a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is open plan with beautifully polished timber floorboards and imposing high ceilings. On one main wall, there is a mural that…
Bici Espresso e Pasticceria
I have previously read about this place and knew it was somewhere on Hutt Street, but it was never obvious to me exactly where it was. It was only one day when I was driving down towards South Terrace did I notice the big signage. The venue itself is modern and spacious with two counters…
