Belgian Beer Cafe Oostende

There’s nothing more trendier than the Belgian Beer Cafe. I’ve got friends that have met their soul mates here. This place is renowned for two things, beer and mussels. With an 8 page beer menu, a person can get easily distracted by the amount of choice on offer. On this particular occasion, I was here…

Providore

Shopping in the Central Markets and have a bit of a sweet tooth? Well, look no further than the Providore. The sweets are fresh and handmade, and there’s so much on offer, you’ll be spinning around in circles.

Taste of Marrakech

As far as I’m aware, there are only 2 Moroccan restaurants in Adelaide, Le Riad and Marrakech. Taste of Marrakech is not so much a restaurant, but a Central Market stall that offers snacks, salads, spices and dips. Today, I ordered a Spanish Tortilla. As the name suggests, it’s Spanish and not Moroccan, but I…

Papa’s Gourmet Hot Dogs

The first thing that strikes you about Papa’s food truck is the shiny metallic van. The presentation is quite impressive, and it appears they’ve spent more than the average amount on the fit out. As their name suggests, they specialise in gourmet hot dogs. The hot dogs are not the processed convenience store variety but…

Downtown HDCB

Adelaide’s obsession with American diner food continues with the opening of a new dive bar, Downtown HCDB (Hot Dog Cold Beer), on Hindley Street.

True to the dive bar theme, this venue…

Gin Long Canteen

Every second eatery that opens these days seems to be either a burger joint or a dessert place. The opening of Gin Long Canteen on the popular O’Connell Street cafe precinct sees the emergence of street food on Adelaide restaurant tables. From the same people that brought you Concubine, the menu has a focus on…

Faraja

Kuwasiliana na wewe pia inanipa faraja kwani kiswahili chako kinaendeleza vizuri. Is that all Swahili to you? Well it is! Faraja is Swahili for comfort, solace or consolation. Faraja is located close to the beginning of King William Road as you head just out of the city. Set in a heritage styled stone fronted cottage, you’re greeted…
