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…
Chuck Wagon – North Adelaide
The name “Chuckwagon” can be interpreted in many ways. The definition here in this case comes from the chuck steak that they use to mince their burger patties. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Ultimate burger and a side of Onion Rings. The burger was of a decent size. Two thick, well cooked patties….
Cafe Luna Rosso
The literal translation for Luna Rosso is Red Moon. Located on the busy cafe precinct of King William Road, Cafe Luna Rosso offers your traditional Italian fare. The decor is modern but basic, and the service is OK. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Calzone Rustico. The meal came out after a 20 minute…
Mawson Lakes Hotel
The Mawson Lakes Hotel is well known for their mega chicken schnitzels. In what is a modern building, the hotel is simply decorated and seats about 200 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is average. One thing I liked about this place is the all you can eat salad bar. The potato bake at…
