Botanic Bar

The Botanic Bar is such a classy establishment. The classical old style interior and the consistently wonderful ambience set this place apart from the rest. The seating is comfortable, the staff are friendly and how could you not go past the $6 pizzas! Tonight, I went for the Turkish Lamb Pizza. The pizzas are simple…

The Kings Hotel

The King’s Hotel is one of my locals and is conveniently located on the corner of Sturt Street and King William Street, just outside the City South tram stop. The pub offers all your traditional pub fare, and their food menu utilises a lot of locally sourced ingredients. The decor has a traditional English style…

Enuf Burger Bar – Glenelg

Enuf Burger Bar has been around for about 2 years, long before the boom in gourmet burger places. Located close to the corner of Tapleys Hill Road and Anzac Highway, this burger joint offers a large variety of gourmet burgers with all your main meat types and a selection of 3 different buns. As I…

Rundle Spices

Looking for a cheap eat down Rundle Street, I couldn’t help noticing the $9.90 lunch specials that Rundle Spices has on offer for all their noodle and rice dishes. Located towards the eastern end of Rundle Street, this little cafe offers a fusion of Chinese and Thai dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service…

San Churro – Rundle St

Nearly 500 years ago, chocolate was brought over to Spain from Central America. It was the monks who were entrusted to provide chocolate drinks to the aristocracy. One monk in particular, San Churro, believed chocolate had healing properties and brought joy to peoples lives. In Australia, San Churro is bringing joy to Australian lives with…

Amalfi

Amalfi is so good that you shouldn’t even bother trying to come here without a booking. The dining area is efficiently used at this place. For what could be described as cosy, they’ve tried to cram in as many tables and seats into the restaurant as possible. The atmosphere is vibrant with waiters hustling past…

The Stag Hotel

I’ve been coming to the Stag for years, but I’ve never actually eaten there until tonight. Beautifully located on the corner of Rundle Street and East Terrace, the Stag has a large balcony that overlooks Rymill Park. Business is pretty good, particularly due to it’s close proximity to the Fringe setup across the road. Tonight,…

Nikita’s

Nikita’s has to be one of my favourite Greek restaurants. This cosy little place holds exactly 56 people, but with 50 of us dining out, we basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Located on Unley Road, the restaurant offers all your traditional Greek fare. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is excellent. Last night,…

My Yen Chinese Restaurant

Do you know how you can tell whether a Chinese restaurant is authentic or not? By the number of Asian people dining there. No Chinese restaurant is more authentic than My Yen. I’ve been coming to this place for Chinese New Year banquets for as long as I can remember and the tradition still continues….

Haigh’s Chocolates – Rundle Mall

Haigh’s is simply chocolate heaven. Just about anything with chocolate in it tastes great, but Haigh’s Chocolates are somewhat better. Not the best on a world scale, but definitely the best in Adelaide. The quality of the chocolate here is right up there, and the texture is better than all the local competitors. You feel like…
