Etica Ethical Pizzeria & Mozzarella Bar

When a pizzeria advertises they use “organic” vegetables, you know you’re going to be paying a lot. When they also say the meat they put on the pizza has been farmed using “ethical” practices, you might as well hand over your wallet. What was once a dental practice on Gilles Street, is now home to…

Ba Guo Bu Yi

This restaurant has a name that I can never get right. Thank god I can google the first word in the title to find out how to spell the rest of it. The first thing that impressed me about this place was their glossy menu with impressive pictures of the food on offer. The prices…

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…

Ying Chow

The abundance of Chinese restaurants down Gouger Street. With so many options, the choice is a difficult one! Ying Chow reminds me of Ky Chow when it used to be located closer to the Chinatown entrance. The old menus, the cramped seating and the basic decor were some of the features. Coming here with a…

Thai Orchid

The Thai Orchid is situated in such a fantastic location, within Henley Square and facing the sea. The restaurant has two dining areas, the main indoor dining area and semi-indoor dining area. If you’re seated in the semi-indoor dining area and you’re sitting in the right spot, you can get nice views of the sea….

Hotaru

Located on the western side of Gouger Street, Hotaru offers all your traditional Japanese dishes. They’ve tried to decorate the place traditionally, however, Matsuri have done a much better job. Hotaru have private dining areas at the back of the restaurant for large groups and an open kitchen where you can see the chef cooking….

Ky Chow

Ky Chow is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Adelaide. I’ve been coming here for years, even when it was located down the western end of Gouger Street. Back then, the restaurant was small and they would try to cram as many people in as possible. At their new location, the decor is more modern and…

Noodle Kingdom

Noodle Kingdom isn’t the nicest place I’ve seen. When we were going to our table, I noticed grease marks on one of the chairs I was about to sit at. I then decided to sit at the table next to it and that chair had even more grease marks. I knew it was going to…

La Trattoria

I find it annoying that most restaurants close their kitchens by about 9pm. La Trattoria is one of the few restaurants in Adelaide that buck this trend. Located on King William Street, this restaurant offers all your traditional Italian favourites. This family run business has staff that are warm and inviting. The service here is…

The Marquis

Wow! The Marquis is an elegant and stylish restaurant. Located towards the eastern end of Gouger Street, everything about this place just oozes style and substance. The restaurant is essentially a glass box where one half is a bar and the other half is the dining area. The main areas are divided by book cases…
