New Taste Noodle Bar

The New Taste Noodle Bar wasn’t my first choice in lunch destination, and it was only because the place I was supposed to go to, was unexpectedly closed. Set in a complex on Frederick Road, this quaint little store offers Vietnamese, Chinese and Thai food (This should have been my warning sign right here. I…

China Chilli

With the number of Asian eateries down Gouger Street, it’s only fitting that the China Chilli restaurant opens it’s doors along this popular cafe strip. As their signage suggests, this place specialises in two things; Sichuan cuisine and hot pots. Sichuan cuisine refers to a style of Chinese food that originates from the Sichuan province…

Daily Bread – Waymouth St

When I finished my gym workout this morning, I had to think long and hard as where I was heading for lunch. When I checked my phone, I saw an Instagram post from Daily Bread Waymouth Street with a picture of their Roast Beef Baguette. I was sold on the idea and was off to…

Australia’s Pizza House – CBD – West Terrace

Australia’s Pizza House is a chain that has been around for a while and currently has 7 stores across the state. At one point they used to pride themselves for being able to offer cheap gourmet pizzas because they didn’t deliver, but I noticed 3 of their stores, including this one, now do. These days,…

Georges on Waymouth

Georges on Waymouth has been around for well over a decade and is one of the established fine dining restaurants in Adelaide. I came here with high expectations and they certainly didn’t disappoint. The restaurant is located towards the King William Street end, and from the outside, the place doesn’t look like anything special. The…

Grill’d – Norwood

Nothing can really beat a free burger give away to mark the opening of Adelaide’s first Grill’d burger store. That’s exactly what Grill’d Norwood have done in offering free burgers for the first 1000 customers. Grill’d has been around for nearly a decade and are quite prominent in the eastern states. Like other successful interstate…

Modinetti

My friend works nearby and I’m always working out where our next lunch destination is along Henley Beach Road. I’ve driven past Modinetti on several occasions and I thought it was time to check them out. The venue is somewhat cosy with around 20 seats cramped closely together in the front section. There a couple…

Kalymnos Pastries

Kalymnos Pastries is small patisserie on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. I didn’t even know this place existed before today, and I didn’t see much signage outside either. When you enter, you’ll see an assortment of sweets and pastries, some of which I’ve never seen or heard of. Seating is limited with several bench seats…

Cherry Blossom Sushi – Henley Beach Rd

Cherry Blossom Sushi is a sushi franchise that has 7 stores across the state. One of their newer stores is located on Henley Beach Road in Torrensville. Unlike some of their other stores, this particular store is standalone and has seats for just under a dozen people. While their normal seating is practical, I found…

Southwark Hotel

The Southwark Hotel is one of Adelaide’s oldest hotels and has been around for well over a century. The inside looks old and outdated and desperately in need of an upgrade. The main dining area is out at the back with a few outdoor seats adjacent to their liquor drive through. The menu is fairly…
