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….
Thai Orchid
The Thai Orchid is situated in such a fantastic location, within Henley Square and facing the sea. The restaurant has two dining areas, the main indoor dining area and semi-indoor dining area. If you’re seated in the semi-indoor dining area and you’re sitting in the right spot, you can get nice views of the sea….
Fishbone Cafe
Feeling indecisive and not sure about what to eat, I stumbled upon the Fishbone Cafe in Glenelg. To one side of the store, they sell gelati (as a separate business), and on the other side, where the kitchen area is, they sell fish and chips, with other deep fried seafood options. The store is basically…
Yanni’s Yiros
There’s a new place in town that makes the AB better than everyone else. It was only by chance did I venture out this way to order one. One of original AB creators, the Blue and White Cafe, just happened to be closed for holidays, and with my insurmountable craving, I travelled to the Eastern…
