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…

Estia
I’ve been to Estia’s on numerous occasions over the years and I’ve always had an enjoyable experience. Located in Henley Square, the restaurant is metres away from the jetty. The atmosphere is relaxed and if you’re dining outdoors, you get to see the sun set over the horizon during the summer. Tonight, I ordered the…
Hotel Richmond
I’ve been to the Hotel Richmond on many occasions, mainly for drinks. While walking through the Mall, I noticed they had lunch specials on, so I felt this was the perfect opportunity to taste what they have to offer. The thing I love about the Richmond is the grandness of the place which is accentuated…
Whitmore Hotel
If you manage to get to the Whitmore Hotel without getting mugged, you can take advantage of the $10 Pint and Parmi special that is on every Wednesday until the end of February. The former strip club, now turned pub, is basically decorated and offers all your traditional pub fare. The clientele are a bit…
Barker Hotel
As part of my wine tour, the group felt like something a bit more substantial than what the wineries were offering in terms of food, so we decided to check out the Barker Hotel. This recently renovated pub is both ultra modern and chic, with a seating capacity of over 100. The staff are friendly…

Lamb and chicken were succulent and tender, and provided in generous proportions. Vegetables were fresh and crisp. Garlic sauce had a nice thick consistency. Pricing is fairly consistent for…

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…
Gaucho’s
Gaucho’s certainly has a very good reputation. My cousin visiting from Sydney for the first time even knew about this place. I’ve been here many times over the years and I must say, this place has never disappointed. The decor is traditional, the atmosphere is vibrant and the service is excellent. As with all Argentinian…
American Candy Stand Cupcakes
After a night out for dinner, it was dessert time at the American Candy Stand. This cosy little place is certainly well decorated and offers all your American treats. Tonight, I went halves on a Lemon Whoopie. It’s not a cookie and it’s not a cake, but something in between. The biscuit part of the…
