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…

Wok In A Box – Adelaide – North Tce

Wok In A Box is an Asian take away franchise that opened over a decade ago. With over 30 stores across the country, each outlet offers a fusion of Asian cuisines. I must admit, I’ve been a bit slow on their uptake, and it was only today that I tried them for the first time….

Arriba Grill – Cumberland Park

Arriba Grill is a franchise with 5 stores around the country, 2 in Queensland and 3 here in South Australia. The Goodwood store is basic in design with the LCD screens behind the counter giving it a slight modern touch. The store itself is really tiny. I counted 14 seats at this place. This consisted…

Peel Street

I love trying out new places and when I heard this place opened several weeks ago, I couldn’t wait to check it out. Not much imagination went into the naming of this place. Peel Street is located on Peel Street. The decor is stylish and chique, with a warehouse feel about it. The exposed ceilings…

Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery

The most reputable place to get your cronuts in Adelaide is at Jenny’s Gourmet Bakery. You have to get here quick folks.  When I got here around lunch time, there were only 3 types of cronuts left. Today, I went for the Cookies and Cream Cronut. The cost was $5, which was reasonably priced considering…

Jack Ruby

I came to Jack Ruby nearly 5 months ago on their opening day. My first review of this was probably little unfair as they were still finding their feet. Today, I decided to give this place another go to see whether anything had changed. For lunch, I ordered the Pulled Pork and Slaw Burger. Complimentary…

Bali Corner

Bali Corner is a take away store in the International Food Plaza food court in Chinatown. The place offers traditional “Warung” style Indonesian food and their menu uses fresh locally sourced ingredients. Fresh spices and chili are predominant in their dishes which are essential to Indonesian cuisine. Today, I ordered the Beef Rendang. The dish…

Windy Point Restaurant – Festival of Food 2013

If I was planning on proposing to a woman, one of the locations where it would possibly happen, would be at the Windy Point Restaurant. I would book a table for two, seated by the window, overlooking the city at night. Towards the end of the dinner, I would order two glasses of champagne. While…

Swinging Bowl Satay

Swinging Bowl Satay is a small take away place on Stephens Place, which is on the eastern boundary of the Myer Centre. The place specialises in authentic Malay dishes, more so from the northern Malay region, based on the spiciness of the dishes. The decor here is pretty basic. The plastic seating, the fold out…

Babanusa

Babanusa is a restaurant located on Prospect Road. It has been open for 18 years and is Australia’s only Sudanese restaurant. The place must be doing something right to last that long. The decor here is basic and slightly traditional. The bongo drums, the ornaments hanging off the walls and the extensive use of timber,…
