There’s a lot of dim sum out there. There’s dim sum that makes you shrug rather unenthusiastically and go “yeah, it’s ok” and then there’s dim sum that makes you wild with excitement when it’s brought to the table because it looks so good – and not only Read more
As a blogger, some places you can’t wait to sit down and write about, and with others, it’s a bit of a chore. Fino Seppeltsfield is one of those places that I feel absolutely compelled to write about it. Why? Because it’s got everything going for it – location, ambience, service, wine, and of course, excellent food! In fact, this is the second time I’ve written about it, but my first review Read more
I’ve been to A Hereford Beefstouw on Hutt Street a few times now and I’m a big fan. I love a good steak. It’s not the cheapest place to get one, but it’s worth it. I’ve come across people who really dislike the place. They feel that for the price you shouldn’t have to fill in your own order sheet Read more
Well, what a pleasant surprise this place turned out to be! You’ll find Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard in Lenswood, which forms part of the Adelaide Hills wine region. I’d heard a rumour that there was good food to be had here, but I wasn’t expecting such a high standard. Young head chef Matt Fitton, formerly of Read more
So I had to get to this new place in Adelaide, Osteria Oggi, and was having trouble getting there during the week. I was pleased to find out they’re open for lunch on Saturdays – I love weekend lunching! You’ll find Oggi on Pirie Street, close to Gawler Place. It’s brought to us by Simon Kardachi of Press/Bread and Bone/Proof fame (to name just three) – and Read more
Giallo, which means ‘yellow’ in Italian, is a small restaurant/wine bar tucked away at far-east Rundle Street in Kent Town. It’s been open for three years now but there are still a lot of people who don’t know it’s there. Even though it’s right there on Rundle Street, it doesn’t really stand out so it’s easy to drive right past it, even if you’re looking for it! It’s a relatively small place with some indoor seating Read more
SINCE WRITING THIS, MAID MICE HAS NOW CLOSED
Ok, so you’re probably sick of me yabbering on about all of the good places opening up in Adelaide of late – well, too bad, because here’s another one! Well, this one actually opened in December last year but I’ve only just discovered it so it counts as ‘new’ in my Read more
Not so long ago, I went to the Delicious magazine dinner at The Flinders Street Project with chef Stewart Wesson. In 2012, Stewart won best Australian Young Chef in the Electrolux Appetite for Excellence awards. At that point he was working at the magnificent Bridgewater Mill. I hadn’t been to The Flinders Street Project yet so this was an excellent opportunity. Last time I’d had Stewart’s food Read more
I hadn’t heard much about Gondola Gondola – no one I know had relayed any goss’ to me on the place or the food. But, I was curious. I’d walked past a couple of times so I decided a visit was in order.
Owners Annie Liang and Tuoi Tran were lucky to score this great location at the northern end of Peel Street on the corner of Hindley. Gondola Gondola is a South East Asian eatery and Read more
Okay – if you want a seriously great dining experience, take the drive to Leonard’s Mill in Second Valley, SA. This food is not only up there with the best I’ve eaten in South Australia, it’s some of the best I’ve had in my travels around the country. Owners Jane Mitchell and Alan Greig have had Leonard’s Mill over four years now, and eighteen months ago they were fortunate enough to secure husband and wife team Brendan Read more
