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…
Hypnothaized
Don’t be fooled by the lack of Thai people that work here! There could have been a team of Thai chefs slaving away in the kitchen, but that couldn’t be verified. Whatever the case, Hypnothaized is one of the best Thai restaurants in Adelaide. From the same team that originally opened Tongue Thai’d in Mile…
Mint Leaf
Mint Leaf is a brand new store that has just opened on Gawler Place. It’s so new that some parts of the store haven’t been completely renovated. Specialising in Vietnamese cuisine, this contemporarily decorated store seats about 50 people. The menu is not that extensive, however, I see this as a good thing as the…
Maiz & Mezcal
I’ve heard reasonably good things about Maiz and Mezcal, so I was happy to make the journey out east to see what all the fuss was about. The place is located on busy Magill Road and is of a reasonable size. Taking up the floor space of 3 small shops, it could easily accommodate over…
Yvonne’s Yiros Cafe
Yvonne’s Yiros Cafe is located towards the eastern end of Rundle Street and has been open for the last 8 months. The owner, who is Turkish in origin, has only been in the country for 10 years. He has run 4 other yiros stores in the past, and knows exactly what it takes to run…
