Pork Belleh. If you’re not a Southerner and you’re making the trek to Marion to see a movie, it can be difficult to find somewhere good to eat along the way. There is that awkward gap between finishing work and the time the movie starts. It’s too short for a sit down in a formal […]
Ambivalent Omnivore. As an omnivore with lots of vegan/vegetarian friends, this place is definitely one of the better vegetarian places I’ve tried. The fake proteins are interesting, but I think the better dishes are those that don’t try to be something they’re not. Worth trying out. Location Gawler Place, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
So in place of the old Nghi Ngan Quan, we now have Mai Kitchen. The food and service is good but I foresee an up hill battle in attracting patrons to this new venture. Yes, the ambience of the restaurant is much better; The new decor is nice and that bloody door bell has been […]
I’m sure this is the hipster in me, but I actually loathe this place. Yes I want Vietnamese food to be celebrated, but I have such a problem with the idiotic interior design and styling of this place. The mason jars are infuriating and the space is so dark and awkward. As for the food […]
The ‘A’ word…. Dare is say it, but this is probably the most authentic tasting Thai food I have had in Adelaide. If they could get fresh galangal economically, it would be spot on. But that’s a very minor quibble. The flavours and textures are so perfect, it made me realise how far off other […]
Yet another great bread roll place. I like how ubiquitous Vietnamese bread rolls are becoming in Adelaide.As the competition increases, so does the quality. This is probably among the best in the area. My only (minor) complaint is that the bread is slightly over baked. Yes they should be crispy, but I hate wearing too […]
Vietnamese bread rolls are pretty simple and yet so many still manage to screw them up. This place keeps it simple and gets it right while keeping it cheap. Win win! Location Henley Beach Road, Mile End, Adelaide, SA
Terrible service, filthy venue, amazing doughnuts. Sometimes, service can be so bad, it can be entertaining. It seems staff here are only trained to about 80% capacity. You could order the same thing three times on three separate occasions, but get an entirely different order each time. Order an affogato? Be asked by your server […]
FOMO. Awesome food and wine, marred ever so slightly by imperfect service. That is not to say that service was bad. It’s just not at the level of what you would expect from a degustation experience of this calibre. Part of this is no doubt intentional – this is meant to be informal and fun […]
Bread roll yiros Frankenstien. If you like your bread roll the size of bicep, stuffed full of meat, then this place will have you covered. For me though, I think the bread rolls here have crossed the boundary and are so different from what I know to be a Vietnamese bread roll that I find […]
Beef noodle here is not bad but…. …it’s not like any pho I’ve ever had before. They did a few things which I normally hate. Top of the list is pre-putting bean sprouts, basil and chili in. Bean sprouts should be optional as it normally waters down the broth. Then there was the noodle itself. […]
You know a place is good when it’s busy with people of the same cultural background of the food, on a Saturday, in the middle of the day even though it’s hidden away in a shop complex. Yummy and different! 2 Votes for helpful Location Prospect Road, Prospect, Adelaide, SA
Disclaimer: I don’t really understand going out for breakfast / bunch. These are meals you can very easily prepare at home with some practice. Can’t vouch for the coffee here either as I didn’t try it. With all that out of the way, I guess all I can review is the ambience. With the charm […]
Service and food are okay. If you are craving some Vietnamese food and can’t be bothered going further west then I guess you could do worse. Location Prospect Road, Prospect, Adelaide, SA
Spot On. Our group of 7 had the beef noodle, duck noodles, combination rice and crispy fried chicken rice. Everything was great! Granted this place is a bit more expensive than other similar places in the area, but the decor is new and clean – not something that many restaurants in this area can lay […]
I can imagine this place becoming a very famous institution. The range of desserts is huge, different and tasty. Highly highly recommended. Location Main North Road, Blair Athol, Adelaide, SA
This definitely isn’t a first date restaurant – more the sort of place you’d visit with a close friend or partner of several years in tracky dacks. Food is okay. Service is friendly albeit a bit slow. Location Churchill Road, Prospect, Adelaide, SA
Om nom…. Screw it. When you start paying this much for food, being superficial is part of the package. I don’t care that the on wall menu is hard to read – it looks amazing. And the wall art. YES YES YES. I could sit and study it for ages. Mash I love you and […]
Has great potential. I really like the design and interior of Golden Boy. Service is also excellent and extremely attentive. Unfortunately though, me and my dining partner had to rush off to go see a movie. I think this might have been part of the reason why the latter end of our dining experience was […]
The worst thing about this place is having to choose which of the awesome pizzas to have. Super tasty! 1 Helpful vote Location Alfredton, Alfredton
Visiting this place makes me think I’m a bikie king pin in an Australian movie. Asian food exactly as you would expect from a place that has crepe paper pineapples hanging from the ceiling. Love it! 1 Helpful vote Location Ballarat, Ballarat
Some restaurants of this calibre display their skills by manipulating food to the chef’s exact specifications. I feel Attica works the other way around, starting with the exact selection of produce and the creation of a dish around it. The result is something that feels more relaxed and organic, belying how much precision is actually […]
What is a Shawarma?. It’s like a yiros, except more flavourful. Definitely worth making a detour for! Location Main North Road, Blair Athol, Adelaide, SA
The smell that you get approaching this place is sooooo promising but unfortunately is a bit of a let down when you actually eat an item. Their house chimichurri sauce is pretty good and fairly different from what I’ve had previously. However it’s not enough to motivate me to return. Location Goodwood Road, Goodwood, Adelaide, […]
Different, yummy and worth trying out once but not sure I’d return Location City Centre
Really good, fairly priced desserts. Hot chocolate was pretty good too. Location City Centre
I went here for a late lunch and so far, it’s not anywhere near as busy as the sushi train down the road. This presents a bit of an issue if you take anything off the conveyor belt as chances are, it has probably been sitting there doing several rounds before you get to it. […]
This place does, as many have already remarked, indeed look a lot like Melbourne’s Chin Chin. It’s really good that we’re starting to see dining places like this in Adelaide. I just wish though, that people tried harder to develop a unique Adelaidian style of interior design rather than aping current trends. I know I […]
Quite basic. It’s okay food but if this is your bench mark for cheap Vietnamese food, you need to dine out more 🙂 1 Helpful vote Location Fullarton
Bread rolls are okay. Have had better though Location Henley Beach Road, Mile End, Adelaide, SA
Tuesday all-you-can-eat chicken wings for $20. I’m a little conflicted on this price – it IS expensive, plus it’s time restricted to 1 hour. At the same time though, these were pretty good chicken wings. As decent as any up-market Americana diner. Sure the presentation could do with some work (serve it on a chopping […]
They’ve got their pastry right. They could wrap anything in it and it would taste good Location Rundle Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Ignore the bad ratings – this place is great on all counts: food, service and atmosphere. It might have had service issues in its early days due to the layout of the place but on a recent visit I felt very well looked after. Tip worthy service and top quality food with the best onion […]
Burger aside, do people really think a can of soft drink and a cup of standard frozen chips is worth paying $6 for? Applying this same logic to the burger I then realised I’d been duped into paying $11 for what is essentially the same as a regular fast food outlet burger. Okay but certainly […]
We come from Adelaide just to have the rolls here. Superb! Location Richmond, Melbourne
Pricy but very yummy cup cakes Location Gouger Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Nice bento boxes in a nice quiet setting Location Gawler Place, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
This place is like BBQ city but with better service, cleaner cutlery and better decor. Lunch time prices are cheap and the meat good (albeit, a smidge less than I would like). Worth transitioning to. Location Gouger Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
Was initially put off by the bad reviews but after a $10 BBQ quail and rice dish can’t wait to come back and try everything else. Yummy!!! 1 Helpful vote Location Main South Road, O’halloran Hill, Adelaide, SA
Evidently the low rating and bad reviews on here have not affected business here. Or maybe something has changed which is bringing people back? Granted it was a Friday night, but this place was packed. We were served quickly and our food arrived promptly thereafter. The chicken larb was tasty, likewise the stir fry. Midrange […]
Worth revisiting. Simple good food. Pricing is pretty fair as far as up market burger joints go. I guess what you’re paying extra for (over a hit and miss Hungry Jacks or McDonalds) is the consistency and ambience of polished concrete. Location The Parade, Norwood, Adelaide, SA
Curious what counts as bad service. Had absolutely no issues with it and food was lovely. Price was very fair and setting was very comfortable too. Location Greenacres
This place has potential. If the owners are reading this, just lightly re-bake your bread or invest in something that keeps it warm and crunchy. Bread roll fillings are spot on, but the bread was a bit sad. Location Goodwood Road, Goodwood, Adelaide, SA
I really really like the hot sesame balls in syrup here and for $5 it’s cheap cheap cheap. Much like the decor. Owner needs to start replacing some of it (in particular the sticky frayed menus) before this place starts to resemble La Sing Location Gouger Street, City Centre, Adelaide, SA
This is a mid range restaurant in price, quality and quantity. Flavour wise, everything was quite one dimensional. Salt and pepper fish was quite salty, stir fry was smothered in sweet chilli sauce, and everything else (a duck curry and a soup) just tasted of coconut milk. But you know what? I liked it. Service […]
Comme ci comme ca. I have to be a bit generous when reviewing this place. After all, Adelaide doesn’t exactly have a lot of French eateries. At the most rudimentry level, Le Carpe Diem is a nice place to have a coffee and pastry. The crepes however, are probably worth giving a miss. The nice […]
I…kinda liked it?. Technically, creating good desserts without eggs is a pretty amazing achievement. However, if you’re not allergic to eggs, it’s probably easier to give the queues a miss. Perfectly decent food, just not worth lining up for. Location Goodwood Road, Goodwood, Adelaide, SA
If money was no object…. …then I would dine here more. Faultless service, lovely atmosphere, and save for one dish (a rather meh grilled mushroom) everything was spot on and perfect. 3 Votes for helpful Location Melbourne Street, North Adelaide, Adelaide, SA
A challenge for those afraid of blood/plasma. So, I know it’s not very sophisticated, but I generally like my red meat to be more done than rare. And when it comes to chicken, that’s not ever meant to be rare right? Well if you’re like me, you might find eating here to be a slightly […]
Straight forward and tasty. Unpretentious, reasonably priced good food. Not much more to say. Location Semaphore Road, Semaphore, Adelaide, SA
