Breadtop – Grote St – Adelaide

Breadtop is an Asian bakery franchise with over 60 stores around the country. With 80 bread and pastry products and over 70 types of cakes on offer, there’s really something for everyone at this store. I really like the self serve purchasing concept that they have here, and how everything is baked fresh on the…

St Louis House of Fine Ice Cream & Dessert – Adelaide

The latest dessert place to open in Adelaide is St Louis House of Fine Ice Cream and Dessert. Located close to the eastern end of Gouger Street, St Louis offers 16 locally made ice creams, as well as a range of hot and cold beverages, churros, cakes, waffles and macarons. The decor here is classic…

Gelatissimo – Gouger St

When I was in Italy, I basically had gelati everyday. While the gelati at Gelatissimo is different to what I had in Italy, it’s still ice cream and any ice cream is good! (except for salted ice cream.. seriously.. who puts salt in ice cream?) To thoroughly enjoy our dessert, we came here before dinner….

Marcellina’s

$10 lunch specials at Marcellina’s? I’m there! I’ve had their pizza before but was now tempted to try some of their pasta. This is the flagship store for the Marcellina franchise and has been around for over 40 years. The place has been refurbished to give a more modern feel. The staff here are friendly and…

Lucia’s

Apparently Lucia’s is an Adelaide institution. Located in the Central Markets, this place has been around for over half a century. I’ve seen this place packed every time I’ve walked past, so it’s obvious that they’re doing something right. The decor probably hasn’t changed since it first opened, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The staff…

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…

Watermark Glenelg

Conveniently located close to Glenelg beach, the Watermark Glenelg is well known for its all you can eat buffet. The price point is similar to other buffet places like Charlie’s Diner or Fresh Choice. The quality of the food is sadly more miss than hit. The venue at times is understaffed. It usually take quite…

Un Caffe Bar – King William St

Un Caffe Bar is a regular morning coffee destination for busy (or not so busy) office workers. Located on King William Street, the decor is modern with clean and crisp lines. The staff are friendly and the store seems to always be busy. On this occasion, I had the Caramel Slice. The classic sweet was delicious….
