I’ve been to this dessert place several times and I must say I quite like it. The first time I went there I wasn’t exactly sure where it was. The only signage was a sign on the window. Located on the Parade, this place reminds me of walking into a little doll house. The place…

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…
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…
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…
Cafe Mondiali
Cafe Mondiali is across the road from the dance studio where I learn salsa. A group of us usually frequent this place when we feel like Italian after class. I’ve had several dishes here and I must say, they are fairly average. Located on Unley Road, this place offers everything you would expect to find…
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…
Charcoal Hwaro
Charcoal Hwaro is definitely one of best Korean BBQ places in Adelaide. Located on a side street just outside the Central Markets, this place is an absolute delight for the carnivores who love their Korean food. The restaurant is small and cosy but also doubles as a butcher. If you don’t have time to cook…
BB Steak House
BB Steak House is a takeaway store in the Southern Cross Arcade that specialises in Korean meat dishes. The chef used to work for a five star hotel which appears to be one of their selling points for eating here. There’s less than a dozen things to choose from on their menu, but the sound…
Fasta Pasta – South Tce
When I want to go out for cheap Italian, this place is one step up from getting Italian food at a food court. It’s probably miles behind the best Italian restaurant, but the food here is cheap and the service is usually good. I remember when this particular store was located on Pirie Street. It…
Mandoo
I’ve been to Mandoo several times and I must say their dumplings are pretty good. Located in a small store on Bank Street, the place is always packed at lunch time. With what appears to be a family run business, the staff are warm and inviting and it’s impressive to see the dumplings made in…
