The restaurant at The Bridgewater Mill has long been known for serving fine food. In fact, it used to be on the Gourmet Traveller Top 100 list. My first meal there was before I’d moved to Adelaide. I was over on a work trip and following my meeting I jumped in a cab from the Read more
Well, well, well… how great it was to head back to The Lion Hotel restaurant after a few years and find that the food is not only good, it’s REALLY good! I should clarify that the food here has always been good, but it didn’t really give me that thrill. But what I found on this visit was an exciting Read more
Well, here’s a place that’s been around for a while. Rigoni’s Bistro opened in 1979 and has remained a popular Adelaide CBD venue for both traditional and modern Italian food. Being in Leigh Street, it’s in the heart of the bustling eating and Read more
I flew back to my birth-city Hobart to celebrate my dad’s birthday on the weekend. It was an evening celebration so there was time to fit in a lunch somewhere new. Always a food-opportunist (umm, I think you’ve probably already worked that out), I gathered some good friends and made a booking Read more
There are some places I’m truly grateful for – like Payneham Chinese Restaurant which is only 1km from my house. I love their food and it’s my regular takeaway spot. So good, and so close to my home. It was simpy meant to be. Another such place is Little Canton Read more

I’d always liked Assaggio Ristorante, in fact it had always been one of my Adelaide favourites, serving consistently good food under chef Camillo Crugnale. I’d often recommended it to others. Recently, in its tenth year, a new chef (Nick Tadija) arrives, with Camillo leaving Read more
It’s easy for me to get carried away with trying to get to all of the new places popping up in Adelaide and forget about those places that have been around for a while. Take Georges on Waymouth for example. Despite Read more
I hadn’t been to d’Arry’s Verandah for quite a few years. It had been on my radar to go again but it’s always booked up well in advance so it takes some planning. Last time I went I remember my great main course of wild boar so the excitement was mounting Read more
I’ve been to Kenji Modern Japanese four times over the years and each time I go I ask myself – why did I leave it so long between visits? Kenji Ito’s food has real WOW factor! Don’t go there for the traditional Japanese offerings (although I’m sure they’re great), go there for the extra-special Read more
