Adelaide Hills Day Out

May 14, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of day out: Saturday 5 May 2012 A group of friends recently organised a day out wine tasting in the Adelaide Hills. We had a reasonably modest agenda for the day – lunch and three, maybe four, wineries. For me, the day proper began at lunch time. Our original food plan was scuppered so, [...]

Flagstaff Hotel

May 7, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Sunday 29 April 2012 It’s been quite a while since I’ve written up a pub meal (the most recent I think is the Victory at Sellicks) and I think it might even have been that long since I’ve eaten in a pub. Anyway, I’m going to rectify that with two pubs in [...]

Press Food & Wine

May 3, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

    date of visit: Thursday 29 April 2012 Press* Food & Wine on Waymouth Street has been on my list for quite a while. It’s bizarre because while I think I eat out a reasonable amount a lot of restaurants languish on the list for far, far too long. Anyway, last week I attended [...]

India House, Hallett Cove

April 20, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

    date of visit: Sunday 15 April 2012 I’m probably the last person on the planet who has got around to using a group buying deal for heading out to a restaurant. There are plenty of reasons for this but the main one is that people to have a very different experience when dining [...]

Grace Est

April 12, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photos by Damien Seidel* date of visit: Sunday 1 April 2012 It’s taken me a very long time to get to Grace, which I think is excusable since I live a reasonable distance from Norwood. So I know this review is about a year off being cutting edge … When I booked (for midday, on [...]

Lucky Lupitas

March 27, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

    date of visit: takeaway Saturday 10 March 2012, dine in Saturday 24 March 2012 Up front, I would like to say I have no idea about Mexican food. I have not been to Mexico and I have not been to the parts of the US that are famous for their Mexican food. I [...]

Dumplings R Us

March 15, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Tuesday 13 March 2012 We ducked into Dumplings R Us for a quick (and extremely cheap) takeaway lunch. It sits on Rundle Street, near Brunelli and Red Rock Noodle bar, on the site of several ‘former’ venues. Before dumplings, it was a Japanese restaurant/café. The menu is very reminiscent of Dumpling King [...]

Mesa Lunga

March 14, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

    date of visit: Saturday 3 March 2012 After our very happy start to the evening (at Cork) we headed off to our 8:30pm dinner reservation at Mesa Lunga. I’d rung to book at the last minute and been offered a choice of 6pm or 8:30pm. I’m always a little bit nervous about later [...]
