Rigoni’s Bistro

November 14, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Friday 11 November 2011 Our last visit to Rigoni’s Bistro was over a year ago. We returned on Friday night for a very quick pre-Christmas party dinner, just the two of us. The restaurant doesn’t start dinner service until 6pm so that’s when we arrived. There were quite a few [...]

Morphett Arms Hotel

October 6, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Thursday 29 September 2011 Sorry – no picture of my schnitzel this time – I am self-conscious taking photos when out with friends! A quick mid-week visit to a pub with a couple of friends. I don’t know what made me do it, but I actually rang up and booked [...]

Barendoe

September 15, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Sunday 4 Sept 2011 To be perfectly honest, I forgot that it was Fathers Day* so I thought nipping for an early dinner in town (and when I say early, I mean 6pm-ish) wouldn’t be a problem. By the time I remembered the occasion, we were already committed and it [...]

The Victoria Hotel

September 8, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Sunday 28 August 2011 Writing a review of a pub can be tricky. If the pub fashions itself as trendy or cutting edge, with a more interesting than average menu then the review is relatively easy – either things have worked or they haven’t. But sometimes, a pub is … just a [...]

Seven Stars Hotel

August 30, 2011 Bar Reviews

Photo thanks to Scenic Adelaide. date of visit: Tuesday 16 August 2011 Often a meal out, especially to a pub, simply involves turning up, ordering a chicken schnitzel parmigiana, eating said schnittie and then going home. There’s not a lot that’s taxing on either side of the hospitality fence. However, I recently volunteered to organise [...]

Good Food and Wine Show

August 29, 2011 Events

Friday week ago I was out in the sun enjoying some nibbles and chatting to Amanda from Lambs’ Ears and Honey, as a guest at the launch of the Adelaide incarnation of the Good Food and Wine Show. The afternoon began in Rundle Mall, under the canopy at Gawler Place, where we sampled [...]

Enoteca Italian Restaurant, Adelaide

June 21, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Saturday 4 June 2011 Something of a delay in this review hitting the web, not dissimilar to the delay in getting to the restaurant in the first place. We’ve been saying we must go to Enoteca for well over a year now and the closest we’ve come was me trying to book [...]

Le Riad

May 23, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Thurs 19 May 2011 At the suggestion (or should that be request?) of a friend a small group of us headed to Le Riad, the only city centre Moroccan restaurant in Adelaide. It’s a tiny, unobtrusive restaurant that sits on Pulteney Street, next to the Earl of Aberdeen and Pondok Bali. I [...]

Andre’s Cucina and Polenta Bar

May 8, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Friday 6 May 2011 It might seem odd for a food blogger, but I have very little interest in Masterchef Australia. I loved the original UK version: the shouting, the food, and of course, Gregg Wallace and John Torode. But I find the Australian offering too personality focussed – it feels like [...]

Ga Bin Korean Restaurant

May 3, 2011 Restaurant Reviews

date of visit: Friday 29 April Adelaide seems to be a bit awash with Korean restaurants at the moment. I’m not spending as much time in town so I’m reliant on my partner to report on the rapidly changing restaurant scene (which means I get to hear about the restaurants he wants to visit). We’re [...]
