L’Atelier Gourmand

When I think of French food, I think of a cuisine that is refined, varied and delicious. From my own personal experience, the portions are smaller, the dishes well presented and the meals are expensive. My friends and I would normally joke about ordering a pizza or grabbing a burger after eating at a French…

Nutrition Republic

Whenever I catch up with friends, it usually involves a meal, dessert or drinks, or a combination thereof. Such a lifestyle can be hazardous to your health because at the end of the day, you really don’t know what you’re eating. Nutrition Republic changes all of this by serving up natural health foods. Whether it…

Colin & Co – Hyde Park

I’ve driven past Colin & Co on King William Road on many occasions, and I’ve been a bit reluctant to visit this place based on my experience at their Grenfell Street store. I’m pleased to say that the two stores are actually different. The Grenfell Street store is more of a shop where people just…

Yen Linh – Adelaide

Those that live out west in Croydon Park would be familiar with Yen Linh. Well, they’ve expanded and opened a new store on Field Street in the city. Specialising in Vietnamese cuisine, their offerings are a slightly cut down version from the parent store. The entrees have been renamed “small plates”, and there are new…

Benevento Wood Oven Pizzeria

Benevento used to be located down Henley Beach Road, until that particular store was bought out by a former employee and renamed “Nostra Casa”. Benevento then reopened on Port Road, however, both pizza stores have an almost identical pizza menu. Having dined at Nostra Casa recently, I already had a good idea of what to…

Devour Cafe Patisserie

Devour are like pioneers on the dessert scene as they were one of the first to open up a dessert bar in Adelaide. Branching off on their success is the Devour Cafe Patisserie which is located in the back streets of Richmond. As a cafe, there is a small selection of food offerings for both…

The Little Hunter

The Little Hunter is a new steak and ale bar located down a small side street next to the Playford Hotel. There was a restaurant with the same name in Melbourne that shut down late last year, but I’m not sure that they’re related. As their signage suggests, steak is what they specialise in, with…

Chicken Time – Norwood

Chicken Time has been around for over 23 years and has three stores in Adelaide. The Norwood store is located on the western side of The Parade and is situated on a nice corner position opposite Norwood oval. The store specialises in the use of Ingham free range chickens, however, they also offer your traditional…

The Maylands Hotel

The Maylands Hotel is located deep within a side street in a popular outer fringe eastern suburb. I’ve actually eaten here many moons ago, and have fond memories of the experience. The place has undergone renovations since my last visit, and I must say the venue looks modern and elegant. There’s a decent selection of…

Chloe’s Restaurant & Function Centre

For nearly three decades, Chloe’s has been synonymous with fine dining in Adelaide. Set in a gracious Victorian villa, customers are brought back in time with elegant dining rooms and a gorgeous marble fireplace. Adorn with antique paintings and silverware, the establishment is filled with so much history. With a cellar that boasts over 10,000…
