Promenade Restaurant, Glenelg

February 7, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photo by Mike Lawton date of visit: Sunday 15 January 2012 Our overseas guests expressed a desire to have dinner overlooking the sea before leaving and my thoughts turned, naturally, to Glenelg. Which is a bit silly, as I could have also made a couple of reasonably sound choices in plenty of other places. Still, [...]

Sammys on the Marina

February 2, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

Photo by Amanda Slater. Another guest review today, this time from contributor Fabio. Date of Visit: 7 December 2011 Although I like seafood, I have never really sought to visit specialty seafood restaurants. So when visiting friends from Hong Kong asked for some recommendations, I had to ask friends and work colleagues for some suggestions. [...]

MP3 Cafe, Brighton

January 24, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photo by eosdude date of visit: December 2011 Something I really, really hate to come across in anything pretending to be a restaurant is a laminated menu. Sure – it might be durable and easy to clean but for a start they get tatty really easily and secondly they show up just how unseasonal your [...]

Victory Hotel, Sellicks Hill

January 23, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Monday 2 January 2012 Here in South Australia the New Year started with something of a bang. A very hot bang with the temperature hovering around 40°C. There’s not a lot to do in that type of weather other than go out for lunch … My last visit to the [...]

Windy Point Restaurant

January 20, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photo by Sonti Malonti date of visit: Friday 30 December 2011 Windy Point (the restaurant) is somewhere we always take overseas guests. We go there for the view – it’s a great place to see the fairy lights of Adelaide and, of course, you can usually spot some local youths with their Commodores in the [...]

Hyde Park Tavern

January 19, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Tuesdsay 17 January 2012 I’m one of these people who spends far too long thinking about where to eat which makes a simple lunch date a three hour exercise in research. After quite a bit of agonising I decided I was being ridiculous and I should just choose the venue [...]

Lucia’s, Adelaide Central Market

January 17, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photo: Janice Chan date of visit: Friday 6 January 2012 A visit to the Adelaide Central Market with some out of towners meant an obligatory first stop at Lucia’s. I’m guessing by now most South Australians are yawning and thinking we know about Lucia’s and everyone else is thinking that this is another Adelaide restaurant [...]

Artisan Cafe, Blackwood

January 13, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

photo by emmapink A relatively early morning coffee (and cake, of course) at the Artisan Café in Blackwood. I’d suggested it as an alternative to another Blackwood café, mainly because I like to try new places (er, yes, I’m a bit obsessed with that) and it seems to be quite well loved on Urban Spoon. [...]

Tasca Viva

January 11, 2012 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Monday 9 January 2012 There had been a bit of buzz on twitter about Tasca Viva when it opened late last year but it’s taken us a little while to head down to Jetty Road to check it out for ourselves. It’s a good thing we ended up going on a Monday [...]
