London Tavern

The London Tavern used to be one of those pubs we’d visit on our pub crawls back in the days of university. Since then, it’s been refurbished and it’s still a spacious open plan area. The fact that it is located in the basement area of the Myer Centre with no exposure to natural light…

Eastern Garden Chinese Restaurant

Located on Greenhill Road, the exterior of the restaurant is similar to a traditional Chinese building. The inside is also traditional and the place was very clean. The staff were warm and inviting and the service was exceptional. I ordered my usual yum cha favourites and was pleasantly surprised. The squid was fresh in my…

Milano Cucina

Milano Cucina is located down at the quieter end of Hutt Street inside the Channel 10 building. The décor is contemporary with your standard commercial fittings. The menu is inspired by the northern Italian region however there is an Australian influence within. Tonight, we ordered the Margherita Pizza. The dish was ready 15 minutes after…

Cumberland Arms Hotel

I used to go to the Cumby back when I was at uni, and these days I still find myself going back there. This is one of the few places that doesn’t charge entry after 9pm to get in. This recently renovated pub has a lot going for it. Consisting of a maze of rooms,…

Norberto’s Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a meat lovers paradise. The prices are a bit higher but the portions are large. Located on Hutt Street, this medium sized restaurant offers all your favourite cooked cuts of meat on chopping boards. The staff are warm and inviting, particularly the owner of the restaurant. On this occasion, I ordered the…

Caledonian Hotel

I usually venture out to the Cally for social latin dancing on a Wednesday night. In between Salsa classes and the social night, I often grab something to eat. On this particular occasion I decided to go for their Chicken Parmi. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the right thickness, but a bit small in…

Walkers Arms Hotel

As far as buffets go, Walkers Arms does a really good buffet. For under $30, from Monday to Thursday, you can indulge in a range of roasts, salads, Asian dishes and desserts. The place itself is nicely presented. The venue is spacious and has a decent beer garden. The staff are friendly, the service is…

A Hereford Beefstouw

What a pleasant surprise when a Danish steakhouse franchise decide to open their doors in Adelaide. Located in a beautiful historic building on Hutt Street, the internal decor is modern and spacious. The salad bar is unique and sits in the centre of the restaurant. The tables and chairs you would find in a upmarket version…

Sushi Train – Gouger St

Sushi Train is not the cheapest option when it comes to sushi. The quality is good and the food is freshly made, so that has to be a bonus. The store on Gouger Street is always busy and there always seems to be a line up. The staff are friendly and attentive, and are happy to…

Yiros Club 3

I’ve been a long time customer to Yiros Club 3, particularly for their Turkish Pizzas. Located in the Castle Plaza Shopping Centre, the store specialises in Yiros and Turkish Pizza. There is purely a takeaway store and the only seating available is elsewhere in the shopping centre. My particular favourite is the Turkish Lamb Pizza….
