It’s a Friday night and a group of friends and I are catching up for dinner before we catch up with others for drinks. Rumour has it, Press serves the best burgers in Adelaide, and I was here to find out. The meals arrived 15 minutes after ordering and the burger was nicely presented on…

Thai By 3 Monkeys
Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide! Located close to the beginning of O’Connell Street, this Thai restaurant offers all your traditional favourites. The place is quite cosy and the decor is a mish mash of second hand furniture. The service is good and the prices are quite reasonable. They even have little chilli’s on…
Passatempo Caffe
If you’re wandering down Gouger Street, but you’re not feeling too adventurous food wise, Passatempo is the place for you. Located on Gouger Street, this basically decorated cafe offers all your traditional Italian fare. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service is good. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Calzone Rustico….
Coopers Alehouse – Adelaide
I’ve been coming to Coopers Alehouse for many years, right back to when it was called the Earl of Aberdeen. I had heard many reports about their huge schnitzels and I was keen to check it out. As usual, I ordered the Chicken Parmi. The meal came out 20 minutes after ordering and was nicely…
San Giorgio
This place brings back so many memories. Back in the days when I was studying late at university, this was the only place open at 5am. These days, it’s a place where we go when all the other restaurants are booked out. Perhaps it says something about the place, perhaps not. I love the pizza’s at…
Mapo
I used to go to Mapo for their Korean Barbecue. It used to be amazing because they had a wide range of marinated meats and Korean vegetables, and the use of charcoal in the cooking process added so much flavour to the food. Then they started taking things off the buffet menu to the point…
Mamma Carmela – Glenelg
Mamma Carmela’s has been around on Jetty Road for nearly 40 years. Their food is consistent and is of a high quality, which is probably main reason why they’re still in business. The décor could do with a bit of an upgrade, but really, the most important thing is how good the food is. Today,…
London Tavern
The London Tavern used to be one of those pubs we’d visit on our pub crawls back in the days of university. Since then, it’s been refurbished and it’s still a spacious open plan area. The fact that it is located in the basement area of the Myer Centre with no exposure to natural light…
Eastern Garden Chinese Restaurant
Located on Greenhill Road, the exterior of the restaurant is similar to a traditional Chinese building. The inside is also traditional and the place was very clean. The staff were warm and inviting and the service was exceptional. I ordered my usual yum cha favourites and was pleasantly surprised. The squid was fresh in my…
Milano Cucina
Milano Cucina is located down at the quieter end of Hutt Street inside the Channel 10 building. The décor is contemporary with your standard commercial fittings. The menu is inspired by the northern Italian region however there is an Australian influence within. Tonight, we ordered the Margherita Pizza. The dish was ready 15 minutes after…
