Conveniently located close to Glenelg beach, the Watermark Glenelg is well known for its all you can eat buffet. The price point is similar to other buffet places like Charlie’s Diner or Fresh Choice. The quality of the food is sadly more miss than hit. The venue at times is understaffed. It usually take quite…

Zapata’s
Zapata’s has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Adelaide if not the best! It’s definitely better than the poor cousin down the road. The restaurant is traditionally decorated, the service is exceptional, the staff are friendly and inviting, and the food is authentic. We came here with a group of 25 and…
Souvlaki Bros
For me, the how good a yiros is comes down to the quality of the meat. The lamb at Souvlaki Brothers is one of the best in Adelaide. Large chunks of tender perfectly marinated lamb cooked to perfection over charcoal is going to be good in any yiros. The service is good, the store is…
Gourmet Glaze
When it comes to plain glazed donuts, Krispy Kreme have perfected the recipe and other donut stores just don’t seem to get it right. When it comes to variations of donut styles and flavours, Gourmet Glaze are pretty good. I get weak at the knees with their Vanilla Iced Ring donut. The donut is soft…
Nanyang Cafe
When my Malay friends tell me that Nanyang serves the most authentic Malaysian cuisine in Adelaide, I believe them. Located in the Renaissance Arcade, this two level cafe is always busy and the majority of their customers are Asian. The number of Asian customers in an Asian eatery is a true litmus test as to…
The Hotel Metropolitan
Some of my favourite pubs in Adelaide are the ones that have undergone renovations to blend in the old with the new. The Metro doesn’t have that, but instead has an old world charm about it. We came here on a lazy Sunday afternoon after an exciting session at an indoor firing range and the…
Abyssinian
What is Ethiopian food? Feeling adventurous I decided to drag 20 people along to find out. Located on Henley Beach Road this is probably one of the few places to get traditional Ethiopian food in Adelaide. The decor is basic and the service is a bit slow. On this occasion, the group decided to go…
Enzo’s Ristorante
Hands down the best Italian restaurant in Adelaide! To actually get a table here, I had to book a few months in advance, but when the day finally arrived, it was well worth it! Located next to the Entertainment Centre, Enzo’s offers you traditional Italian cuisine in fine dining style. The price point is a…
Cafe One Two Nine
Cafe One Two Nine is the downstairs bar area in the Strathmore Hotel. I reckon I’ve been here at least 30 times over the years and for all sorts of reasons. Farewell drinks, company paid lunches and boozy nights are the most common ones. The decor is modern with warehouse style influences, and the service…
