Hogs Breath Cafe – Adelaide

Hogs Breath is a steak franchise with stores across the country. While the menu may be the same, there are some stores that cook their meals better than others. I’ve been here on many occasions and the meals here have been average. My most recent visit to this place saw little improvement. Today, I ordered…

Austral Hotel

I’ve been to the Austral so many times and yet I haven’t reviewed it! The Austral just brings back so many pleasant memories, right back to when I was at university. The drunken nights, the pub crawls, the hearty meals and the live music are what makes this place so special. I even managed to…

Franklin Hotel

I’ve been to the Franklin a few times for drinks and on each of those occasions I’ve had an enjoyable time. Located in a double storey heritage listed building, the decor is a blend of classic 50’s retro chique and recycled suburban hand me downs. The electrical wiring has been concealed in what appears to…

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…

Outback Jack’s – Glenelg

There was a group of us looking for a feed, and the only place on the Marina where food was being served at 5:30pm in the afternoon was Outback Jacks. The location is fantastic, but that’s about it. The service was below average. There was hardly anybody around whenever we needed them. For entree, we…

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…

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…

Bridge Hotel – Langhorne Creek

For 2 years in a row, I’ve attended the same wine tour and had lunch at the Bridge Hotel. The hotel is your classic, out in the middle of nowhere, country pub. Between yesterday and the year before, nothing much has really changed. It’s like the whole place is in a time capsule. Fortunately, the…

A Hereford Beefstouw

What a pleasant surprise when a Danish steakhouse franchise decide to open their doors in Adelaide. Located in a beautiful historic building on Hutt Street, the internal decor is modern and spacious. The salad bar is unique and sits in the centre of the restaurant. The tables and chairs you would find in a upmarket version…

Zapata’s

Zapata’s has to be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Adelaide if not the best! It’s definitely better than the poor cousin down the road. The restaurant is traditionally decorated, the service is exceptional, the staff are friendly and inviting, and the food is authentic. We came here with a group of 25 and…
