Aces Bar and Bistro is tucked away in the heart of the Central Markets. It’s located in the passage way that connects the fruit and vegetables stalls to Chinatown. The venue itself is old, dark and dingy, with the only natural light coming from the atrium in the centre of Market Plaza. The setup of…

100 Food Station
I’ve driven past this store on many occasions and was intrigued to find out what they’re all about. The name 100 Food Station doesn’t reflect how many items that are on their menu but rather the numeric location of their store. The decor is neat and basic with the highlight being their unique solid timber…
Swedish Tarts – Henley Beach
When it comes to food, there’s not much of a Swedish presence in Adelaide. If you’re looking for something a bit nicer than the cafeteria at IKEA, then Swedish Tarts is probably your best bet. With 3 stores in Adelaide, I visited one of their newer seaside stores at Henley Beach. As their name suggests,…
Chicken Cave
With so many chicken shops in the Western suburbs, I was surprised to learn that Chicken Cave is a local institution in the area. The store is not particularly large with no seating available for dine in. Their menu offers cooked Lilydale chickens in various forms with hamburgers and salads also making an appearance. It…
Caffe Primo – North Adelaide
Caffe Primo North Adelaide is one of the newer franchise store openings for this popular chain. There are so many stores around Adelaide, the person selling the franchises is laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, I digress. The decor here is fairly standard with your commercial chairs and tables. The combination of neutral…
Prince Albert Hotel
The journey to the Prince Albert Hotel can be a dangerous one particularly with the homeless food shelter nearby. Located on Wright Street, close to the notorious Whitmore Square, this is one of the quieter pubs in the city. The main bar is in the centre of the building with two walls that separate another…
Little Orange Arancini & Pizza Bar
Inside The Market Shed on Holland is a hidden gem of a place called the Little Orange Arancini and Pizza Bar. At this place, the ingredients used in their products only use the best locally sourced produce, and where ever possible, they are certified organic. For those who don’t eat out much, arancini are fried…
Wave Gourmet Cafe
Wave is a gourmet supermarket, bar and cafe all in one. The whole place is spacious and beautifully laid out, with the supermarket and grocery section on one side and a cafe on the other. There is a breakfast menu, a normal menu, desserts and beverages on offer, and if you still can’t decide, you…
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…
Hello, Yes
Adelaide has a lot of under utilised buildings located on small side streets. One by one, these sites are being renovated into trendy hipster cafes and bars. Hello, Yes is the one of the newer cafes to open their doors, and is located on Eliza Street. It’s in between Franklin Street and Waymouth Street and…
