Sneaky Pickle
As I arrived at my second Fork on the Road, I was overwhelmed by the choice. The first thing that caught my eye was the Sneaky Pickle van. As your first gut instinct is usually correct, I decided to listen to my gut (it was making all sorts of noise at this stage) and ordered…
Vietnam Kitchen
Vietnamese restaurants are plentiful in the Western suburbs, but few and far between in the city. Located on Pulteney Street at the South Terrace end is a cosy little restaurant called the Vietnam Kitchen. The place is decorated nicely and offers all your traditional Vietnamese dishes. The staff are warm and inviting, and the service was…
Zambrero – Rundle St
Most of the products at Zambrero are all wrapped up and don’t make good photos. The only thing that looked presentable was the Beef Bowl, so that’s what I ordered. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about what was on offer. I liked how one person handled the food and another person handled the money….
Tiffany Thai
Tiffany Thai is a real hidden gem. Located on Gouger Street, amongst other Thai restaurants, this cosy little cafe offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Menus were provided as soon as I walked in, and water for the table was provided as I…
Caffe Primo – Adelaide CBD
While on my way to the Central Markets I noticed Caffe Primo had a $10 lunch special for pizza and pasta. Not for one item but both! Seeing this as a good lunch deal, I had no hesitation in walking in. Located in the new Franklin Street bus station building, this place is modernly decorated…
Marcellina’s
$10 lunch specials at Marcellina’s? I’m there! I’ve had their pizza before but was now tempted to try some of their pasta. This is the flagship store for the Marcellina franchise and has been around for over 40 years. The place has been refurbished to give a more modern feel. The staff here are friendly and…
Astonish Patisserie
Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…
Chimichurri Grill
Argentinian food coming from a truck? How could you possibly go wrong? The Chimichurri Grill is a mobile food truck that serves Argentinian food. The menu is quite basic with three possible options; Chimi Steak, Chimi Chorizo and Chimi Cheese (vegetarian option). The wonderful smells emanating from the food truck really get the stomach rumbling. Today,…
Taldy-Kurgan
If you want Russian cuisine, you basically have to be Russian to get it in Adelaide. Taldy-Kurgan bucks the trend and is one of the few places that offers Russian street food. Their most popular menu item, the piroshki, is a fried yeast bun with filling in it. I ordered two varieties, the Spinach and Ricotta Piroshki,…
