Cocolat – Rundle Place

The Cocolat franchise is expanding. If walking to the end of Rundle Street was too hard for you, there’s now a store inside the Rundle Place food court. The desserts are pretty much the same, although I did see a few new ones on their menu. I’m not sure whether there has been an across…

River Cafe – Festival of Food 2013

Having been to the fine dining restaurant upstairs a few weeks ago, I already had high expectations of this place. Located in the same building as the Red Ochre restaurant, the River Cafe also provides fantastic views of the city and the Torrens River. The setting is elegant and modern, and the service is excellent….

Tea House Yum Cha

For me, yum cha is starting to taste the same where ever I have it, particularly with the mass production of a lot of the food items. I was even more skeptical when someone suggested we have it in a food court. When I approached Tea House Yum Cha in the Rundle Place food court,…

Cafe de Vili’s

There’s nothing like a 24 hour bakery on the outskirts of the city. With decor straight of the 80’s, this place serves everything you would find in a corner tuck shop, but on a larger scale. I’ve had the chips and gravy from here before, but this time I went for the Caramel and Banana…

Mylk Bar

Adelaide will no longer be known as the “City of Churches”, but more the “City of Bars”. Mylk bar is one of the latest bars to open up in Adelaide. Located on Flinders Street, at the Victoria Square end, most of the clientele that visit here are white collar workers. The external facade of this…

Thai In A Wok

Thai In A Wok is a small to medium sized place on the north western side of Hindmarsh Square. The decor is basic and neat, with the use of commercial chairs and tables being quite prominent. There’s adequate space between adjacent tables, which is a good thing. My initial impression of this place wasn’t a…

Outback Jack’s – North Adelaide

Outback Jacks is another steak franchise that has stores across the country. Located on the second floor of North Adelaide Village, I didn’t realise it was there until I really looked for it. The decor here is fairly similar to it’s other stores, with the main feature being the giant styrofoam crocodile hanging from the…

Sebel Playford Adelaide

Eating a lunch time meal at the bar is one thing, but dining at the restaurant is a totally different experience. Tonight, I had a perfect 3 course meal with absolutely nothing to fault. The meals came out 15 minutes after ordering, and each subsequent course was very well timed. SPICY SOY GLAZED QUAIL –…

Bittersweet Patisserie

Bitter Sweet Patisserie is located in a small shopping complex on Frederick Road. Cakes, pastries and chocolates are what these guys specialise in, and with a team that has world wide experience, they certainly mean business when it comes to sugary goodness. I actually stumbled on this place by chance and was surprised to be…

Colonel Light Hotel

The Colonel Light Hotel is set in a historical building on the western side of Light Square. The decor is relatively modern and there is plenty of seating both inside and out. The staff here are friendly and the service is above average. The atmosphere is fairly relaxed, mainly due to the lack of customers….
