Yiros Plus

What would a food court be without a Yiros food outlet? At the new Rundle Place food court, Yiros Plus is the new kebab store in town.  Besides the usual Lamb and Chicken Yiros, this place also sells a variety of Turkish Pides (also known as Turkish Pizzas) and Baked Potatoes. Today, I ordered the…

Concubine

Fine dining Chinese restaurants are places I don’t usually go to. The place is worlds away from it’s nearest competitors that are just a few shops down. This stylish and classy restaurant is located close to the middle of Gouger Street, and offers all your classical Chinese dishes. The decor here is funky yet classical,…

Maid Of Auckland

I’ve driven past the Maid of Auckland many times when going up South Road, and to be honest, I’ve never wanted to walk inside, mainly due to its appearance from the outside. It doesn’t appear to be one of those modern pubs that have undergone extensive renovations. According to other reviews, it has been renovated,…

Estia

I’ve been to Estia’s on numerous occasions over the years and I’ve always had an enjoyable experience. Located in Henley Square, the restaurant is metres away from the jetty. The atmosphere is relaxed and if you’re dining outdoors, you get to see the sun set over the horizon during the summer. Tonight, I ordered the…

Barker Hotel

As part of my wine tour, the group felt like something a bit more substantial than what the wineries were offering in terms of food, so we decided to check out the Barker Hotel. This recently renovated pub is both ultra modern and chic, with a seating capacity of over 100. The staff are friendly…

Lamb Spit BBQ – Central Market

Lamb Spit BBQ is a little takeaway store located outside the Central Market Plaza food court. The store mainly sells Yiros but also offers other items you would find at a local fish and chip shop. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Today, I ordered the Lamb and Chicken Yiros Plate. As…

Danny’s Thai Bistro

Located on the Parade, Danny’s Thai Bistro offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The decor is modern with framed newspaper cutouts on one section of the wall to indicate how good this place is. The staff were friendly and inviting, however the service was quite slow, particularly during busy periods. Tonight, a group of us…

Union Hotel

I’ve been to the Union quite a few times, mainly to catch up with friends for drinks. The pub is essentially made up of several sections, the bar area, a casual area turn dance floor at night, dining area and a pokies area. The decor is quite contemporary with the highlights being the fireplace and…

Gilbert Street Hotel

Located in the south east corner of the city, the Gilbert Street Hotel is set in a beautiful historical building. The interior is dramatic yet sophisticated. The dining area is simple and inviting. The warm lighting sets the mood for that romantic evening. The staff were friendly and inviting, and the food didn’t take too…
