Gelatissimo – Gouger St

When I was in Italy, I basically had gelati everyday. While the gelati at Gelatissimo is different to what I had in Italy, it’s still ice cream and any ice cream is good! (except for salted ice cream.. seriously.. who puts salt in ice cream?) To thoroughly enjoy our dessert, we came here before dinner….

Gaucho’s

Gaucho’s certainly has a very good reputation. My cousin visiting from Sydney for the first time even knew about this place. I’ve been here many times over the years and I must say, this place has never disappointed. The decor is traditional, the atmosphere is vibrant and the service is excellent. As with all Argentinian…

Thai Orchid

The Thai Orchid is situated in such a fantastic location, within Henley Square and facing the sea. The restaurant has two dining areas, the main indoor dining area and semi-indoor dining area. If you’re seated in the semi-indoor dining area and you’re sitting in the right spot, you can get nice views of the sea….

Fishbone Cafe

Feeling indecisive and not sure about what to eat, I stumbled upon the Fishbone Cafe in Glenelg. To one side of the store, they sell gelati (as a separate business), and on the other side, where the kitchen area is, they sell fish and chips, with other deep fried seafood options. The store is basically…

Yanni’s Yiros

There’s a new place in town that makes the AB better than everyone else. It was only by chance did I venture out this way to order one. One of original AB creators, the Blue and White Cafe, just happened to be closed for holidays, and with my insurmountable craving, I travelled to the Eastern…

American Candy Stand Cupcakes

After a night out for dinner, it was dessert time at the American Candy Stand. This cosy little place is certainly well decorated and offers all your American treats. Tonight, I went halves on a Lemon Whoopie. It’s not a cookie and it’s not a cake, but something in between. The biscuit part of the…

Mesa Lunga

Mesa Lunga is superbly located on the corner of Morphett Street and Gouger Street. Divided into two sections, there is the main dining area, and in another section, which is accessible from the outside, there is a separate bar. The place has indoor and outdoor dining areas, and during the process of booking, the owner was…

Burp

Burp is one of the first Mexican places to open up in Adelaide. This made Burp a bit of a novelty. These days, Burp has competitors and you’ll find a Mexican place in most food courts. They’ve also simplified their menu since I last visited and their offerings are now more in line with Zambrero….

The Strand

Located on the busy Jetty Road business strip, The Strand offers all your traditional Italian favourites. The restaurant is modernly decorated and the staff were warm and inviting. The service here was exceptional. We had very attentive waiter who would constantly refill our water bottles and was always available when needed. Today, I ordered the…

Oscar’s

When there’s a wine tour of the McLaren Vale, we always have lunch at Oscar’s. On this occasion there were 18 of us and we were seated in the outdoor dining area. The staff were friendly, however, we found the service to be a bit slow. The place was basically decorated and offered your traditional Italian…
