This restaurant has a name that I can never get right. Thank god I can google the first word in the title to find out how to spell the rest of it. The first thing that impressed me about this place was their glossy menu with impressive pictures of the food on offer. The prices…

National Wine Centre
Adelaide is the number one wine producing state in Australia, so it’s fitting we have a National Wine Centre. I’ve been lucky enough to come here for all sorts of reasons from functions and conferences to cocktail and wine tasting. I’m a regular here on Friday afternoons. On a Friday every fortnight, they have Uncorked…
Rundle Spices
Looking for a cheap eat down Rundle Street, I couldn’t help noticing the $9.90 lunch specials that Rundle Spices has on offer for all their noodle and rice dishes. Located towards the eastern end of Rundle Street, this little cafe offers a fusion of Chinese and Thai dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service…
Haigh’s Chocolates – Rundle Mall
Haigh’s is simply chocolate heaven. Just about anything with chocolate in it tastes great, but Haigh’s Chocolates are somewhat better. Not the best on a world scale, but definitely the best in Adelaide. The quality of the chocolate here is right up there, and the texture is better than all the local competitors. You feel like…
The Griffins
I’ve been coming to Griffins ever since my university days. With it’s close proximity to Adelaide University, it was always a stop off point at all my pub crawls. Nowadays, the place has undergone renovations and is now more sleek and stylish, which is in line with other trendy pubs around town. I like a…
Dumplings R Us
Chinese dumpling places seem to be popping up all over the place these days. As I make dumplings at home, I was keen to put Dumplings R Us to the test. Located on Rundle Street, this basically decorated store offers all your typical Chinese dishes as well as dumplings. Today, I ordered the Pan Fried…
Piatto
There are so many choices for Italian food down Rundle Street. On this particular occasion, a group of us came in without a booking and they were more than happy to accommodate. The decor here is modern and chic, and the menu selection is extensive with lots to choose from. When we ordered drinks, one of…
Dublin Hotel
There’s nothing like spending a lazy Sunday afternoon at the bay, particularly when the weather is nice. The sounds of the waves crashing into the shore and the gentle ocean breeze really set the mood for a relaxed day. When I’m in Glenelg, my usual haunt is the Dublin Hotel. The signage out the front indicated…
Burgastronomy – North Adelaide
The stars are aligned at Burgastronomy! With so many burger choices in Adelaide these days, finding the right burger for you is often a difficult one. With Burgastronomy coming aboard, I thought it was time to get my cholesterol checked. Today, I ordered the Trucker. The beef patty was tender, juicy and perfectly cooked. It…
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….
