To date, we’ve only had a small selection of what you might call ‘high end’ fine dining restaurants in Adelaide – you know, those places you go for that special occasion – that make that big impression… (as well as on your wallet). Magill Read more
Here’s a place that’s literally a hidden gem. Tucked away in Tea Tree Gully, you’ll find Topiary at the entrance to Newman’s Nursery. I only discovered this place though Instagram – seeing photos of some of the beautiful dishes created by young chef/owner Kane Pollard who took over Topiary about five years ago. He’s been Read more
Estelle by Scott Pickett (ESP) has shot straight up into my Top 5. ESP is not to be mistaken for ‘Estelle’ bistro, Pickett’s first restaurant (former Top 100) which is right next door. It’s easy to make the mistake. The couple who eventually sat next to us did that very thing and after being told on arrival they weren’t actually booked into ESP they made the decision to wait and were finally able to take their seats for the seven Read more
Since it opened, I’ve been a big fan of Sushi Planet on Adelaide’s West Terrace. Not only is the food delicious and presented beautifully (great for Instagram pics!), it just happens to be close to my office, and there’s easy parking. I’ve dined in on numerous occasions but I’ve also often taken advantage of their free delivery option. My favourite delivery? Hands down, the Deluxe Sushi Set consisting of Read more
Let’s face it – Andrew McConnell is my food hero, so I was more than happy to head off to one of his new places that made the Top 100 list this year. In fact it’s situated right next door to another of his Top 100 ventures, Cutler & Co. in Fitzroy, formerly number one on the list. This particular Read more
It’s a loved-up affair at Public CBD these days – not only are owners Danielle Elia and James Anthony a husband and wife team, so are the newly appointed chefs. Enter Head Chef Bradley Pearce and Head Pastry Chef Cheryse Pearce, a young couple passionate about food. Brad was Executive Chef at the Read more
Templo is Spanish for temple and this Hobart restaurant is designed to be a relaxing destination for people to gather and share good food and good times. It’s an intimate little place in Patrick Street, seating up to around 20. There are a few smaller tables at the front window and one larger table, but the three Read more
As well as having my first authentic Mexican food experience this year thanks to Mi Mero Mole, I think I can safely say I’ve also just had my first authentic Greek meal. After mentioning to my ‘authentic Greek friend’ my lack of exposure to Greek food, she insisted she take me to her new Read more
It’s only on a rare occasion that I’ll get really excited about a menu – you know, when you read a menu and you want to order pretty much everything on it – well it happened again on the weekend – at The Pot, King William Road. The Pot has been around for quite a few years now and it’s always served quality food but Read more
Ok folks, it’s time you paid a visit to Chloe’s. Why? Because it’s so damn good! I’m always appalled at the number of people who I mention this place to that either (a) haven’t heard of it or (b) haven’t been! Chloe’s is true fine dining right here in Adelaide and it’s been around for thirty Read more
