The Office On Pirie

The Office mainly caters for white collar workers  that work around the Pirie Street area. It’s also a popular destination for after work drinks. There are 3 different areas at this venue; an outdoor area, a ground floor and mezzanine level. Today, I ordered my usual, the Chicken Parmi. The meal came out after a…

Lighthouse Hotel

I’ve ventured out to Port Adelaide on several occasions and each time it was for the dolphin cruise. While waiting for the cruise to start, we decided to check out the local pub, the Lighthouse Hotel. The atmosphere here is relaxed and it’s nice to be able to see all the activity that is happening…

Governor Hindmarsh Hotel

The Gov is an absolutely awesome venue, particularly for live music. I’ve come here on so many occasions, mainly to catch up with friends for drinks. On one occasion, over 60 friends came along and we had half the pub to ourselves. The pub is conveniently located outside the last tram stop so catching the…

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…

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…

Astor Hotel

$10 meals from Monday to Friday? Yibbida! Yibbida! That’s all folks! The Astor is one of my many local pubs. Located on the corner of Gilles and Pulteney, this venue is a favourite for functions or after work drinks. I for one, come here for the cheap meals. Who needs to go grocery shopping, go…

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…

Parwana Afghan Restaurant

Adelaide is a lucky place when it comes to experiencing food from different cultures. Located at the beginning of Henley Beach Road, Parwana offers a fusion of Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. The decor at this place is simple and the staff are warm and inviting. The dimly lit lights really sets the mood for some delicious…

Nando’s – Kurralta Park

I really like Nando’s for their chicken and their sauces. Their chips are also good, particularly if you load it with heaps of peri peri salt. Now for the negatives, I think their menu prices are a bit high and their chicken pieces are a bit small. I made the mistake of ordering the Supremo…

Ginling

Ginling has been around for as long as I can remember and they make pretty good Chinese food. The restaurant is of a decent size and the interior is a bit outdated. The menu offers all your typical Chinese fare and I would say a lot of their clientele are local repeat customers. When I…
