Lockleys Hotel is located out in the western suburbs, not far away from Henley Beach. Like all good pubs, they have weekday lunch specials, which is the selling point that drew me in. The place itself is quite large and there is plenty of parking outside. Not only is there a bar and dining area,…

Earth’s Kitchen
Right at this very address used to be one of my favourite Italian restaurants. It’s replacement, Earth’s Kitchen, just made things a whole lot healthier. Located on the corner of Pirie and Hyde Street, this place prides itself on everything fresh, local, organic and gluten free. The menu isn’t too overly complicated with a selection…
The Taxpayer
When one bar closes, another one opens. With the closing of the much loved Dragonfly, comes a brand new bar, The Taxpayer. Set in the prime location of Victoria Square, this venue is a little bit of everything. This place serves breakfast and lunch throughout the week, but as you head towards the weekend, it…
From Orient
With Chinese food available just about everywhere you go, some people are a bit hesitant about paying a premium for something they can get cheaper elsewhere.

The dining area boasts magnificent high ceilings from the double storey height and it takes advantage of the floor to ceiling glass frontage which maximises the amount of natural light. Other than that, this place is very…
Tonsley Hotel
Located very close to the former Mitsubishi Motors plant down south at Clovelly Park is the Tonsley Hotel. As you enter the pub, there is a decent sized beer garden decked out with a large flat screen TV. The inside is like a man cave with car parts sticking out of walls and images of…
North
There are a handful of places to eat at Adelaide Casino with the conveniently positioned North being one of the better places to visit. The decor is quite modern and stylish with plenty of natural light coming in from the wide eastern frontage. The pristine curved high ceilings give this place a sense of spaciousness…

It’s a popular street dish that first originated in North Vietnam in the early 20th century. It was only until 1930 that Pho was served with beef cooked rare (Pho Tai), and then…
