Cocolat – Rundle Place

The Cocolat franchise is expanding. If walking to the end of Rundle Street was too hard for you, there’s now a store inside the Rundle Place food court. The desserts are pretty much the same, although I did see a few new ones on their menu. I’m not sure whether there has been an across…

Bond & Lane Canteen

You would be surprised at the number of old shopfronts that are found in the suburban backstreets. Some of them are converted into residences, while others remain empty till this very day. Bond and Lane Canteen, on the other hand, have continued with past traditions, and opened up a cafe serving breakfast, lunch, sweets and…

Bar 9 Central

Bar 9 Central is a brand new coffee shop located in the Adelaide Central Plaza food court. With it’s original sister store located on Glen Osmond Road, not only is this place a specialty coffee supplier, but they also sell a range of artisan teas and are a go-to destination for brunch. This place is…

Botanic Gardens Restaurant – Festival of Food 2013

If you’ve never been to the Botanic Gardens before, this restaurant may be hard to find. Thankfully, they have large maps at each entrance that tell you where you are, and where the restaurant is. With such beautiful surroundings, having a fine dining restaurant within the gardens just makes perfect sense. The place itself specialises…

Munooshi Cafe

Munooshi you say? It’s a cross between a Yiros and a Calzone. Pita bread with yiros filling, folded in half and then grilled. The staff are ever so friendly which is expected in Middle Eastern culture. The lady behind the counter took the time to explain what a munooshi was and what some of the…

Rose Garden Thai

Don’t judge a restaurant by its crappy decor. This rings very true, particularly for this place. The external appearance of this place reminds me of a run down crack house, while the internal is a bit more presentable. I would never have considered this place had I not read some positive reviews of the place….

Apothecary 1878

They say to properly critique a place, you need to go there several times. The first time I visited this place, I had tapas in the bar area and the customer service wasn’t exactly the best. Tonight, we dined in the restaurant area, located in the basement of the building, and the experience was top…

Food For Thought

I must admit, I had very little expectation for this place when I found out this place used to be Glow, and had been subsequently rebadged. Similar home style cooked meals were available and the interior decor was identical to my last visit. Today, I ordered the Cajun Chicken in Turkish Bread. The meals were…

Ed Castle

The Ed Castle is located towards the western end of Currie Street in a building that is nearly 2 centuries old. Considering the city of Adelaide is not that old itself, this particular venue has historical significance. The first thing you notice when you enter the place is the set of pool tables. I initially…

Yvonne’s Yiros Cafe

Yvonne’s Yiros Cafe is located towards the eastern end of Rundle Street and has been open for the last 8 months. The owner, who is Turkish in origin, has only been in the country for 10 years. He has run 4 other yiros stores in the past, and knows exactly what it takes to run…
