Saizen Sushi Bar

I’m a big fan of sushi that comes on a train, so when I heard Saizen did $3 plates on a Sunday night, I was on the first train there! Saizen is located on the northern end of O’Connell Street. The decor is traditional with a nice high divider that separates the customers on either…

The Store

The Store is a beautifully decorated bistro located on the trendiest part of Melbourne Street. With plenty of seating both inside and out, this really is the perfect place to relax on a Sunday afternoon. I particularly like their round concrete outdoor tables. They’re so bold and low maintenance, and yet so practical. Today, I…

Outback Jack’s – North Adelaide

Outback Jacks is another steak franchise that has stores across the country. Located on the second floor of North Adelaide Village, I didn’t realise it was there until I really looked for it.

Royal Oak Hotel

The Royal Oak is a pub located on busy O’Connell Street in North Adelaide. While the exterior has a quaint facade, the interior is like a 1950’s unrenovated urban warehouse. We sat at a table that was made from recycled cinema seats, although the furnishings around us seemed to be a mish mash of throw…

Amarin Thai

Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide. Located just off O’Connell Street, this cosy little restaurant is great for romantic evenings. When I booked a table for two, the staff were thoughtful enough to give us the best seats in the house, the seats next to the french window at the front. The subtle breeze…

Toptai

I actually stumbled on this place by accident having dined at the two restaurants next door, however, this has been my favourite Thai place ever since. Located in North Adelaide Village this has to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Adelaide. The restaurant is modern and contemporary, the atmosphere inviting, and the service…

Yet another Thai restaurant in North Adelaide! Located close to the beginning of O’Connell Street, this Thai restaurant offers all your traditional favourites.
