Taste Of Bollywood

Taste of Bollywood is an Indian restaurant located on Port Road near the South Road intersection. While it doesn’t look like much from the outside, the store itself is deceptively spacious with a long and narrow floor plan. In line with the restaurant title, there are two film strips with the faces of Bollywood actors…

Yum Yai Thai Kitchen

There’s quite a few Thai restaurants down Henley Beach Road, and Yum Yai was one of those places that I had yet to visit, until today. Located across the road from Foodland shopping centre, this medium sized restaurant offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The decor inside is warm and cosy, although, it can get…

Hang Bakery

Hidden away in the Foodland Shopping Centre on Henley Beach Road is Hang Bakery. They sell an assortment of sweets, pastries, fresh bread and your common variety of Vietnamese rolls. The first thing that blew me away about the food here was the price. There is a selection of Vietnamese rolls for $4! There are…

Whisk Patisserie

Whisk Patisserie is set in a nice historical building just off the tram stop on Goodwood Road. The decor is basic with a few modern touches here and there. Behind the counter, they have a selection of premade meal options as well as your sweet and savoury items. Here for the sweet stuff, I took…

Sammy’s On The Marina

I must admit I’ve always been reluctant to come to Sammy’s due to the overwhelming number of negative reviews. I came to the restaurant tonight with little expectation but was pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Sammy’s is set in one of the most ideal locations on the Holdfast Shores marina. Set over…

Book In Love Cafe

The Book In Love Cafe is a 7 bedroom upper floor apartment turned dessert store. The decor is tacky with pictures that have literally been stuck on. Each room is filled with desks, chairs and shelves straight from IKEA. There is a considerable number of books, but they’re all written in Chinese. The dessert menu…

Paul’s Seafood – Gouger St

Paul’s Seafood on Gouger Street has been around for nearly 70 years. The decor is nothing flash, however it still comes across as being neat and presentable. There’s good use of timber throughout, and the blue and white colour scheme reminds you of the sea. With seating both upstairs and on the ground floor, everything…

The Collins Bar

The Collins Bar at The Hilton has been open for a while now and continues to be a favourite meeting spot for after work drinks. The venue is stylishly designed with decor  that is classy, chique and sophisticated. The seating is a mix of bar stools, lounge chairs and normal chairs. Whether you want to hide…
