BBQ City

Out of all the restaurants along Gouger Street tonight, BBQ City was the only one that was packed. In fact there was a line 10 people long waiting to get a seat. Having never been here before, I felt it was time to see what all the fuss was about. A brief glimpse of the…

Rosemont Hotel

The Rosemont is somewhere I would never normally go. The place is so dark and dingy, I couldn’t tell what time of the day it was. The majority of the light came from the 39 flat screen televisions they have scattered across the room. I felt like I was one of those 24 hour security…

Burger Addiction

One of the new food outlets at the Rundle Place food court is Burger Addiction. The new gourmet burger place is one of the latest to open across Adelaide, and offers a range of beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian burgers. The beef burgers are all $10, the chicken burgers $12 and the pork and vegetarian…

Rigoni’s Bistro

Rigoni’s is Italian fine dining at it’s best. This place is really popular and the menu prices are bit higher than normal. It is only when you come here that you realise it’s actually worth paying a bit more. The decor is classical and stylish with beautiful cornices that adorn the ceilings. The atmosphere is…

The Highway

The Highway is many things to many people. Some people go there for drinks and some for dancing. For me, I go there for the food. From the outside, it is evident that there is plenty of parking, but the building itself is deceptively large. Facing Marion Road, you have the sports bar. As you…

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,…

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,…

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…
