As I arrived at my second Fork on the Road, I was overwhelmed by the choice. The first thing that caught my eye was the Sneaky Pickle van. As your first gut instinct is usually correct, I decided to listen to my gut (it was making all sorts of noise at this stage) and ordered…

Vietnam Kitchen
Vietnamese restaurants are plentiful in the Western suburbs, but few and far between in the city. Located on Pulteney Street at the South Terrace end is a cosy little restaurant called the Vietnam Kitchen. The place is decorated nicely and offers all your traditional Vietnamese dishes. The staff are warm and inviting, and the service was…
La Cantina Co
Mexican food from a food truck? How good could it possibly be? With very little expectation, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I had a beef burrito from La Cantina. The burrito was amazing, and definitely better than some of the store competitors that are around. The beef was soft, tender and beautifully flavoured….
Fasta Pasta – North Adelaide
I’ve been going to Fasta Pasta for years, albeit at various locations around Adelaide. The meals are quick, cheap and casual. The current promotion at the moment is their $7 lunches, which almost makes them irresistible. Today, I ordered the Ravioli Montavana, which is basically mushroom added to bolognese sauce. The ravioli was cooked well….
Outback Jack’s – Glenelg
There was a group of us looking for a feed, and the only place on the Marina where food was being served at 5:30pm in the afternoon was Outback Jacks. The location is fantastic, but that’s about it. The service was below average. There was hardly anybody around whenever we needed them. For entree, we…
Sunset Bar
It was a nice sunny Sunday and I wanted a lazy afternoon. What better way to enjoy it than drinking with friends at the Sunset Bar. As the name suggests, the view of the sunset would be awesome. They also offer a range of cocktails which is displayed on their walls. A few of us…
Hotaru
Located on the western side of Gouger Street, Hotaru offers all your traditional Japanese dishes. They’ve tried to decorate the place traditionally, however, Matsuri have done a much better job. Hotaru have private dining areas at the back of the restaurant for large groups and an open kitchen where you can see the chef cooking….
Zambrero – Rundle St
Most of the products at Zambrero are all wrapped up and don’t make good photos. The only thing that looked presentable was the Beef Bowl, so that’s what I ordered. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about what was on offer. I liked how one person handled the food and another person handled the money….
Tiffany Thai
Tiffany Thai is a real hidden gem. Located on Gouger Street, amongst other Thai restaurants, this cosy little cafe offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Menus were provided as soon as I walked in, and water for the table was provided as I…
The Archer Hotel
Over the years, I’ve been coming to the Archer for all sorts of reasons. I’ve come here to drink. I’ve come here to dance. I’ve come here to drown my sorrows. I’ve even celebrated my birthday here. Today, I’m here for the $10 Chicken Parmi. The Archer is a popular venue. Located on the busy…
