Strange name for a place that seems to specialise in burgers, but after a week of chasing a good burger meal, this was the only place that satisfied Location 146 Gawler Place, Adelaide SA 5000
A great example of how offering an experience (dining in a hyper realised, authentic Mexican eatery) in addition to a good meal can elevate and justify eating out. Would 100% visit again Location 174 Smith St, Collingwood VIC 3066

The perfect sushi train. The quality of the food here is so good and at an incredibly fair price that makes you wonder why you’d even consider take away sushi at those places that either use the wrong rice or cook it wrong and make it gluggy. Service is speedy and faultless. Restaurant fit out […]
This place is great. Tasty food, for very fair prices, in an amazing quirkily designed restaurant that is worth going to alone for that. I don’t know what food mafia they’ve upset to receive the bad reviews they have. My experience was not negative at all and I’ll look forward to coming back. Location Churchill […]
Honestly the best Viet bread rolls in the area. Rolls are very distinctively saucy (hoisin), but this is a perfectly valid and authentic take. They are also the perfect level of crispness, and full of fillings. Service is friendly and great as well. Their spring rolls are pretty ordinary though, as is the dining in […]
If I have a craving for yiros, this is where I go. Filling, flavourful and fast. The yiros here is about the size of your bicep and full of tender meat – and not the processed kind – grilled on a giant spit over charcoal behind the counter. The kid sized, small yiros is about […]
Okay the hot chip competition has been won. These guys are the winners and what’s great is they’re all round nice people too…These chips are the best chips you will ever have. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy on the inside. There is no starchy hardness. No limp sadness. Just perfectly […]
There can be no doubt that there was superb skill in the execution of each dish, however in the 6 course tasting menu I found the texture of each dish too similar to each other. The beetroot, the marron, the fish were too similar – that is, something soft, on a bed of some type […]
This place was a food highlight of Hobart. It’s a very small venue, and more than likely you will be sharing a table with others or seated somewhere that is frankly, awkward. Yet somehow, the food more than makes up for this. Understated, but clean, bright and tasty. I also think for what you’re getting, […]
Absolutely no doubt, Vue de Monde is the best degustation restaurant I have ever been to. Twelve courses that play with flavours, textures and presentation over two and a half hours, in a glittering venue, 55 floors above Melbourne. Arriving at the Rialto towers, you travel in an elevator that shoots up like a rocket, […]
Okay I’ve been here twice. The first time through some freak of chance, I was able to walk straight in without having to wait at all. On this occasion, I can say the croissant was amazing. Totally worth the hype. Like eating the most delicate, savoury, buttery and crisp leaves. The second time, I thought […]
I had an excellent time – thank you to your restaurant’s army of staff, from your front of house, to your chefs and wait staff – I felt very well looked after during my banquet (#1) experience. Food wise, I thought the snacks were amazing, but as the banquet progressed, the use of dried chilli […]
This place does a roaring trade on weeknights in the suburbs which is testament to how good it is. No wonder as the food is great and the servings generous. I would suggest going here with a largish group. That way you’ll be able to try more dishes without ending up with too much food. […]
A cafe without any of the pretence, that reminds you of the honest goodness of simple food and sincere service. I’m not sure how busy trade normally is, but I picture this place being a perfect spot for a quiet lunch with a close friend. I look forward very much to returning. Location Morphett Road, […]
This review is for the lunch time roast pork bread roll or “bahn mi” (this misspelling of banh mi…URGH). My main issue with the roll was that it cost $8.90. If it was cheaper, I would be more forgiving. Unfortunately the roast pork was just not that crispy. Maybe the higher than average cost can […]
This review and rating is for the combo Vietnamese bread roll here. Pretty much perfect. $6 for crispy roast pork, chicken, pate, fresh cucumber, chilli and coriander in a lightly oven toasted bread roll. No need to complicate it people. Would gladly return for this roll alone Location Grand Junction Road, Hope Valley, Adelaide, SA
This is the first ramen I’ve had in Adelaide that’s actually made me want to return for more. The broth is moreish, the egg gooey and the meat lusciously tender. I also loved the house made noodles which were the perfect consistency. The yakitori was (as it is usually in other places) pricey but equally […]
I really enjoyed my meal here. We had the sweet lamb tagine and a rustic mixed grill which were both great – not fancy by any measure but definitely tasty. The restaurant setting is a little dark, but has a unpretentious and eclectic style which gives you plenty to look at. Just as well as […]
First and foremost, absolutely no complaints with the food and service here – both were very good. On the bad side, due to the design of this restaurant, there is a high probability that you will leave with your clothes smelling like your meal. This might be annoying for some, but for me, it was […]
Any place that serves soju and half decent Korean fried chicken until 3am in the morning on a weekend is already pretty awesome in my opinion. Add to that, the comfy and relatively quiet setting and you have a great chill out place. A great place to take mates near the end of a night […]
This was the only place open on Sunday on Hindley Street during Adelaide festival season. Still a bit alarmed at that! Anyway, while this place was a bit of a last resort, it was by no means a disappointing experience as our meal here was absolutely superb. My mouth has started salivating at the memory […]
Fast, but unremarkable bread rolls. Carrot is barely pickled and I found the overall flavour to be too mild for my liking. There are no meal deals either, so it can be a bit expensive if you want the typical spring roll/dim sim and soft drink combo. As for the franchise logo – a Caucasian […]
Honki Tonki is surprisingly good. Good food, in good portions at fair prices. It’s been a while since they’ve first opened, so the trendy and deliberate Asian fit out now has a real authentic and grimy feel. It’s so authentic that you might question whether or not it’s safe to eat here. Don’t worry though! […]
I understand now that when people say some place has the best (or just good) fish and chips, they’re basing their critique largely on the seafood and not really at all on the chips The seafood here is indeed really good. Unlike at some other places, it’s fresh and actually identifiable as real seafood. The […]
I would gladly return to this place. I’m sure if you’re Hawaiian you might take issue with this being representative of your culture, but for this idiot who knows no better, it was fresh, simple and tasty. Plus, I love any excuse to eat tropical fruit in a main (yes I like pineapple on pizza […]
If you’re in the mood for good Chinese food, you’re going to have to bury your expectations at the Hahndorf Chinese Restaurant. The service is friendly and efficient but the food is at best only okay – it is certainly not authentic by a long stretch. To be fair, this is at least consistent with […]
I wasn’t as upset as a previous reviewer here (“grazing board of $#!T”) but I did leave feeling that they spent more time thinking about the look and and feel of their pub than they did about the taste of their food. Our grazing board did that very pub thing of conflating quantity with quality. […]
It’s unfair to review a place after only one visit but my excuse is that it’s what most other reviewers here have done. This makes me feel a little less guilty about recounting my underwhelming experience at Osteria Oggi in contrast to everyone else’s superlative ones. Generally Italian food does tend to be fairly elemental, […]
The renowned roast duck here is amongst the best in Adelaide. The second and third courses are passable and perfunctory respectively, but the first course is stellar. Warm house made pancakes are provided for you with pre cut slivers of crispy roast duck, cucumber, shallots and a wonderfully moreish sauce. It is this course that […]
I dare say this is probably the best pho I’ve had. After visiting so many other places that served pho in buckets laden with slabs of meat, I was glad to encounter an approach driven by more by taste than perceived value. Pho Hung’s pho starts with a flavourful, light and clear stock. The meat […]
The food here is good, but it’s the service that really made this place stand out for me. I’m not sure if everyone would get the same experience as what me and my dining group had – for us, it felt like we’d been invited into someone’s family home. Food was brought out with evident […]
Despite working really close to here, I’ve only very recently visited for the first time. It’s really stupid, but I was put off by the use of comic sans on their outdoor signage. Stupid and snobby indeed! Naive typography aside, the yum cha here is superb. Service is efficient and the restaurant itself, spacious and […]
It was really really really hard for me to go here. If I’m down this end of Hindley Street, it normally means huge chunky Yianni’s Yiros time. With that said, I’m really really really glad I tried Levant Eatery! The food here is excellent and you can tell the owners take great pride in it. […]
I really feel for people in the hospitality business. While I enjoy eating out and do it a lot, who am I to judge? As an amateur ‘food critic’, I found my experience at Maha to be regretfully underwhelming. That is no fault of the staff – service here is impeccable and they really do […]
It’s a bad habit of mine when going to pubs to just order the standard chicken schnitzel or salt and pepper squid. I’m glad I didn’t do that here though. I’m sure their schnitzel is great, but I had the chicken and porcini pie and was really impressed – this is food clearly served with pride. My […]
Burgers with table service in a trendy setting – that is the experience dining premium you are paying for. It’s true, the cheese burger here does taste a lot like what you could get at McDonald’s – but the texture of the food is generally more refined. That doesn’t stop it from being occasionally too […]
This is only a review for the AB which in short, I found to be extremely good. I didn’t find the meat flavourless at all; really, how can you tell in the context of an AB? Everything was drenched in sauce – just as it should be with a good AB. The foundation of chips […]
The most incredibly light, flaky and tasty spanakopita I’ve ever had served by the cutest old women. I still haven’t managed to try everything here yet, but it’s all been pretty good so far! 1 Helpful vote Location Torrensville
This place is designed for Instagram. The large floor to barn ceiling windows let through the most amazing low contrast diffuse light that makes everything look bloody incredible. The artfully curated rustic fit out makes you feel like you’re in a photoshoot for a food magazine. You could pop open a bag of crisps by […]
Do you know those websites that assault you with pop up banners? Or the ones where filling out a form involves switching between the use of the keyboard and the mouse? Or the mobile website that doesn’t work on a mobile and only shows half of what’s available on the desktop version? Kong BBQ is […]
I got a very samey vibe from the food here but I’m willing to put this down to bad food selection on my behalf. Other than that, the food was okay and the staff attentive and friendly. The fit out of the restaurant is also refreshingly a little different, utilising a local artist’s work. Not […]
I’ve been here a few times now and have enjoyed myself on every occasion. Most recently we returned for the all day, Wednesday 50c wing deal – while not superlative it was still pretty good. Another in my group opted to have the house burger instead of the wings and was thoroughly satisfied. Service is […]
Street food is pretty trendy these days but no place can pull it off so unpretentiously as Pho Linh. This place has faithfully replicated the experience of eating in a grimy and bustling alleyway in Vietnam. The fact that this was probably all incidental only makes it all the more authentic! Service is fast and […]
A great, casual lunch place. Decor is possibly on the slightly cold/Spartan side, but with the big round table (capable of seating 9 or so) at the back, this just makes it ideal for something like a big work group lunch break. Imagine having Korean fried chicken for a work lunch! That’s the kind of […]
Impeccable. Great food, lovely relaxed setting, attentive and fast service. Went here for lunch and enjoyed everything about this place. Definitely converted a few people in my group who previously were unimpressed with Greek cuisine! 2 Votes for helpful Location Prospect
I think there should be some sort of qualification, similar to a barista when it comes to the use of a deep fryer. You wouldn’t think it, but given the same source materials – oil, frozen chips, battered chicken, so on – you can get wildly different results. For some places, being able to deliver […]
My worst dining fear happened here – I managed to spill almost a complete bowl of fish sauce all over myself. While great on food, fish sauce isn’t the greatest of fragrances to wear. Thankfully this accident happened just after I had finished my wonderful meal and the staff were incredibly understanding. It’s unfortunate though […]
Really really good bread rolls! Fresh cucumber and herbs paired with well seasoned meat, inside a lightly baked and crispy Vietnamese bread roll. Service is friendly and prices are pretty fair too – especially when you consider how much a bread roll sells for in the CBD. Of particular note are the spring rolls here. […]
I haven’t quite worked out the optimal time to eat here as the food can vary from superlative to average. Then again, given this place is open 24 hours, it’s amazing that they manage to keep to that standard. I’ve enjoyed many cheese and chilli kranskys from here and service is always fast and efficient.
