Teal Turtle Cafe

The Teal Turtle is a nice little cafe close to the foreshores of Port Noarlunga beach. With nice views of the ocean from their outdoor dining area, it’s a wonderful place to relax and watch the world go by. While the outside looks more commercial, the inside reveals a renovated house. There is plenty of…

East End Providore

East End Providore is a cute little breakfast-lunch-coffee-gourmet-local-produce store in Ebeneezer Place. The decor is modern and homey, with a style very similar to a lot of the new stores opening up around the city. The timber crates carrying fresh fruit and the abundance of natural light flowing through the store just gave this place…

Munooshi Cafe

Munooshi you say? It’s a cross between a Yiros and a Calzone. Pita bread with yiros filling, folded in half and then grilled. The staff are ever so friendly which is expected in Middle Eastern culture. The lady behind the counter took the time to explain what a munooshi was and what some of the…

Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery

The most reputable place to get your cronuts in Adelaide is at Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery. You have to get here quick folks.  When I got here around lunch time, there were only 3 types of cronuts left. Today, I went for the Cookies and Cream Cronut. The cost was $5, which was reasonably priced considering…

Cafe Troppo

Cafe Troppo is located on the corner of Sturt Street and Whitmore Square, on the ground floor of the Troppo ecohousing complex. While this city location is notoriously seedy, the local council is trying to revamp this area, however, I did see a handful of homeless people walk past the venue. The cafe itself is…

Rose Garden Thai

Don’t judge a restaurant by its crappy decor. This rings very true, particularly for this place. The external appearance of this place reminds me of a run down crack house, while the internal is a bit more presentable. I would never have considered this place had I not read some positive reviews of the place….

Apothecary 1878

They say to properly critique a place, you need to go there several times. The first time I visited this place, I had tapas in the bar area and the customer service wasn’t exactly the best. Tonight, we dined in the restaurant area, located in the basement of the building, and the experience was top…

Food For Thought

I must admit, I had very little expectation for this place when I found out this place used to be Glow, and had been subsequently rebadged. Similar home style cooked meals were available and the interior decor was identical to my last visit. Today, I ordered the Cajun Chicken in Turkish Bread. The meals were…

Jack Ruby

I came to Jack Ruby nearly 5 months ago on their opening day. My first review of this was probably little unfair as they were still finding their feet. Today, I decided to give this place another go to see whether anything had changed. For lunch, I ordered the Pulled Pork and Slaw Burger. Complimentary…

Ed Castle

The Ed Castle is located towards the western end of Currie Street in a building that is nearly 2 centuries old. Considering the city of Adelaide is not that old itself, this particular venue has historical significance. The first thing you notice when you enter the place is the set of pool tables. I initially…
