La Cantina Co

Mexican food from a food truck? How good could it possibly be? With very little expectation, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I had a beef burrito from La Cantina. The burrito was amazing, and definitely better than some of the store competitors that are around. The beef was soft, tender and beautifully flavoured….

Outback Jack’s – Glenelg

There was a group of us looking for a feed, and the only place on the Marina where food was being served at 5:30pm in the afternoon was Outback Jacks. The location is fantastic, but that’s about it. The service was below average. There was hardly anybody around whenever we needed them. For entree, we…

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…

Thai Lucky Bell

Located on Hindley Street, Thai Lucky Bell offers all your traditional Thai cuisine. The decor here is basic with their white plastic chairs and creamy coloured ceramic tiles. A few ornaments are scattered here and there, and counter area reminded me of a hoarders paradise. Thai Lucky Bell is a family owned business, where the…

Natee Thai

Located on Pulteney Street towards the end of Rundle Mall, Natee Thai offers all your traditional Thai favourites. The decor is simple and the service is average. There was no one to greet me when I entered the place, and customers have to order and pay at the counter towards the back of the restaurant….

Taldy-Kurgan

If you want Russian cuisine, you basically have to be Russian to get it in Adelaide. Taldy-Kurgan bucks the trend and is one of the few places that offers Russian street food. Their most popular menu item, the piroshki, is a fried yeast bun with filling in it. I ordered two varieties, the Spinach and Ricotta Piroshki,…

Gochuzang

You don’t see many Korean stores in food courts, particularly in the heart of the CBD. Gochuzang bucks this trend by providing authentic cuisine in the Renaissance Arcade food court. The store offers 15 dishes and half a dozen vegetarian options which are variations of the available dishes. Today, I ordered the Sizzling Stone Beef Bibimbap….

The Duke Hotel

There’s nothing like heading out to the Duke for lunch on a beautiful day, particularly when the company is paying. As we all had to preorder, I noticed they had updated their menu. Similar items to their previous menu with a few new ones thrown in. They even suggest what drink you should have with…

Mum’s Kimbab

Looking for a new place to eat, I stumbled onto Mum’s Kimbab located in the Market Plaza food court in the Central Markets. This little takeaway store offers around a dozen of your favourite Korean dishes. Today I ordered their Beef Bulgogi. As I paid, the cashier spoke to the cook in Japanese so I…

Amarin Thai

Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide. Located just off O’Connell Street, this cosy little restaurant is great for romantic evenings. When I booked a table for two, the staff were thoughtful enough to give us the best seats in the house, the seats next to the french window at the front. The subtle breeze…
