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….

Ky Chow
Ky Chow is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. I’ve been coming here for years, even when it was located down the western end of Gouger Street. Back then, the restaurant was small and they would try to cram as many people in as possible. At their new location, the decor is more modern and…
Manee Siam
Manee Siam is a small Thai restaurant on Goodwood Road. The decor here is basic, with the restaurant offering all your traditional Thai dishes. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service is exceptional. Today, I ordered the Massaman Beef Curry. The meal arrived within 20 minutes of ordering, and all meals arrived at…

Matsuri has to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Adelaide. Located on the first floor of a three storey building on Gouger Street, this place offers all your traditional Japanese fare.

La Trattoria
I find it annoying that most restaurants close their kitchens by about 9pm. La Trattoria is one of the few restaurants in Adelaide that buck this trend. Located on King William Street, this restaurant offers all your traditional Italian favourites. This family run business has staff that are warm and inviting. The service here is…
Chocolate Taperia
I’m such a regular here, they recognise me when I walk into the store. Located on Melbourne Street, this cute little dessert store offers desserts with Spanish and Latin American influences. The staff were warm and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Tonight, I had the dessert platter. This consisted of Mini Gelato, Churros, Dark Chocolate Mousse,…
The Marquis
Wow! The Marquis is an elegant and stylish restaurant. Located towards the eastern end of Gouger Street, everything about this place just oozes style and substance. The restaurant is essentially a glass box where one half is a bar and the other half is the dining area. The main areas are divided by book cases…
Burger Theory
Ever notice that there is always a long line of people waiting for burgers outside the Burger Theory van? That’s because their burgers are one of the best in Adelaide! The smell of beef patties on the grill just draws you in and it’s very hard not to open your wallet and buy one. I’ve…
Seoul Restaurant
Seoul has to be one of the best Korean restaurants in Adelaide. This place has been around for several decades and there is a reason for that. The food is amazing! Having dined here about a dozen times, I feel this place really sets the benchmark when it comes to traditional Korean cuisine. Tucked away…
