Aroma Cafe – North Tce

When I catch up with friends during the week, they have coffee and I have dessert. I’ve been to Aroma a fair few times and on this particular occasion, I went for the Chocolate Muffin. The muffin was huge and freshly baked. The choc chips in the chocolate muffin only made the experience more tantalizing….

London Tavern

The London Tavern used to be one of those pubs we’d visit on our pub crawls back in the days of university. Since then, it’s been refurbished and it’s still a spacious open plan area. The fact that it is located in the basement area of the Myer Centre with no exposure to natural light…

Norberto’s Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires is a meat lovers paradise. The prices are a bit higher but the portions are large. Located on Hutt Street, this medium sized restaurant offers all your favourite cooked cuts of meat on chopping boards. The staff are warm and inviting, particularly the owner of the restaurant. On this occasion, I ordered the…

Caledonian Hotel

I usually venture out to the Cally for social latin dancing on a Wednesday night. In between Salsa classes and the social night, I often grab something to eat. On this particular occasion I decided to go for their Chicken Parmi. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the right thickness, but a bit small in…

A Hereford Beefstouw

What a pleasant surprise when a Danish steakhouse franchise decide to open their doors in Adelaide. Located in a beautiful historic building on Hutt Street, the internal decor is modern and spacious. The salad bar is unique and sits in the centre of the restaurant. The tables and chairs you would find in a upmarket version…

Charlie’s Diner – Brighton

I used to come to this Charlies Diner when I was in high school. Back then I used to think the food was OK, but having come here recently, my expectations have changed considerably. As others have suggested, it is your typical buffet restaurant with Asian food, Italian food, a roast and a variety of…

Cafe Fellini

I came here with a group of friends after a hike. A friend suggested it and having never eaten here before I decided to check it out. Some of us had pizzas, others had dessert while the rest just had coffee. The place itself is small to medium sized and the decor is basic. The…

Zapata’s

Zapata’s has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Adelaide if not the best! It’s definitely better than the poor cousin down the road. The restaurant is traditionally decorated, the service is exceptional, the staff are friendly and inviting, and the food is authentic. We came here with a group of 25 and…

Gourmet Glaze

When it comes to plain glazed donuts, Krispy Kreme have perfected the recipe and other donut stores just don’t seem to get it right. When it comes to variations of donut styles and flavours, Gourmet Glaze are pretty good. I get weak at the knees with their Vanilla Iced Ring donut. The donut is soft…

Tasty Thai By Meow Thai

Tasty Thai is a long rectangular store on Bank Street. It’s not the most conventional looking place, but it certainly has frontage. The decor is modern and elegant, the staff were warm and inviting, and the service was quite good. I decided to go for their Beef Curry. The vegetables were fresh and the flavours were…
