Mansions

I’m pretty sure I’ve been to the Mansions several times when I was at uni. Each time was during a pub crawl, where I was so drunk I could vaguely recall being here. Those bitter sweet non-memories! Feeling a bit nostalgic, I decided to check out the food here. The venue does a two parmi’s…

The Kings Hotel

The King’s Hotel is one of my locals and is conveniently located on the corner of Sturt Street and King William Street, just outside the City South tram stop. The pub offers all your traditional pub fare, and their food menu utilises a lot of locally sourced ingredients. The decor has a traditional English style…

The Stag Hotel

I’ve been coming to the Stag for years, but I’ve never actually eaten there until tonight. Beautifully located on the corner of Rundle Street and East Terrace, the Stag has a large balcony that overlooks Rymill Park. Business is pretty good, particularly due to it’s close proximity to the Fringe setup across the road. Tonight,…

Nikita’s

Nikita’s has to be one of my favourite Greek restaurants. This cosy little place holds exactly 56 people, but with 50 of us dining out, we basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Located on Unley Road, the restaurant offers all your traditional Greek fare. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is excellent. Last night,…

Chuck Wagon – North Adelaide

The name “Chuckwagon” can be interpreted in many ways. The definition here in this case comes from the chuck steak that they use to mince their burger patties. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Ultimate burger and a side of Onion Rings. The burger was of a decent size. Two thick, well cooked patties….

Cafe Luna Rosso

The literal translation for Luna Rosso is Red Moon. Located on the busy cafe precinct of King William Road, Cafe Luna Rosso offers your traditional Italian fare. The decor is modern but basic, and the service is OK. On this particular occasion, I ordered the Calzone Rustico. The meal came out after a 20 minute…

Mawson Lakes Hotel

The Mawson Lakes Hotel is well known for their mega chicken schnitzels. In what is a modern building, the hotel is simply decorated and seats about 200 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is average. One thing I liked about this place is the all you can eat salad bar. The potato bake at…

Maid Of Auckland

I’ve driven past the Maid of Auckland many times when going up South Road, and to be honest, I’ve never wanted to walk inside, mainly due to its appearance from the outside. It doesn’t appear to be one of those modern pubs that have undergone extensive renovations. According to other reviews, it has been renovated,…

Adelaide Pho

Adelaide Pho is located in a building that was once my internet service provider. Now a Vietnamese restaurant, it specialises in Beef Noodle Soup as well as other traditional Vietnamese dishes. The decor is basic and the place could seat about 50 people. The atmosphere is relaxed and the service is pretty good. Today, I ordered…

Blue and White Cafe

It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Blue and White. I had my very first AB here many years ago and had been a loyal customer for quite some time. After a while the quality of the AB dropped and I found myself eating at the Red and White. For review purposes, I…
