Tiger Lilly is a small cafe on the busy Melbourne Street cafe precinct. Seating exactly 44, the chairs and tables are nicely spaced without being too close to each other. The decor is nothing to write home about with a few decorative fans and paintings adorning the walls. The place does look it could do…

Mango Tree
After hearing rave reviews about Mango Tree from a friend, I thought it was time to check this place out. Located close to the beginning of Port Road heading west, the restaurant appears to be nothing special when you look at it’s narrow frontage. The inside is deceptively spacious with curved arches that separate two…
Sun Mi’s Sushi
Don’t be mislead into thinking this is a Japanese place because of the name, it’s actually Korean. When the Japanese occupied Korea between 1910 and 1945, they introduced kimbap, which is the Korean version of sushi. What’s the difference? The Japanese use vinegar in their sushi rice, while the Koreans use sesame oil. Anyway, I…
Chinatown Cafe
Chinatown Cafe is located close to the centre of the Grote Street and Gouger Street entrances on Moonta Street. This place has two things going for it, it’s location and it’s cheap prices. The amount of foot traffic that goes past this place alone would keep the cash register ticking, however, all their main meals…
Yankee Cafe
With the number of American fast food stores opening up around the city, South Australia is slowly becoming the next American state. Yankee Cafe is the latest to open it’s doors and is located literally metres away from Henley Beach. The cafe is tastefully decorated with patterned wallpaper and picture frames along the wall. The…
Pigs On Fire
Vegetarians look away! There’s a Dutch pop-up BBQ called Pigs On Fire that makes it’s appearance at the Garden of Unearthly Delights only once a year. The BBQ is something to marvelled at. It’s constructed from timber logs and iron grates built in the form of a teepee. Just about every part of the pig…
Gelatissimo – Rundle St
During mad March in Adelaide, the Rundle Street precinct is a buzz with people and shops try to capitalise on the influx of people that venture into the city. With the numerous dessert stores along the strip, Gelatissimo is strikingly busy, particularly on a warm night. It’s quick and it’s easy, and people order their…
La Vita Ristorante
I’ve driven past this place so many times and I always notice that their carpark is full. I took this as a good sign and it became one of my places to check out. The venue itself is deceptively large. From the street frontage, the place looks small, but when you walk into the place,…
Cocolat – Rundle Street
This particular Cocolat store does a roaring trade. Opening from morning till late, finding somewhere to sit at this place has never been easy for as long as I can remember. The Rundle Street store is set in a long and narrow building, and from what I could see, they seem to offer a lot…
Chef Lai Noodle Bar
Chef Lai Noodle Bar isn’t in the most obvious of locations. The place is located towards the end of a side street opposite the Thuan Phat Asian grocery. The decor is basic with cafe style furnishings and ceramic tiles. The orange walls do match the tables so I’ll give them some credit for colour coordination….
