COAL CELLAR AND GRILL, Adelaide
Here’s a place I’d been curious about – the new restaurant taking over the large space formerly occupied by the Hilton’s The Brasserie and what used to be The Grange where I Read more

ASSAGGIO RISTORANTE, Adelaide
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
GEORGES ON WAYMOUTH, Adelaide
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
GRAND TRUFFLE LUNCHEON, Adelaide
It would be remiss of me not to mention one of the great food events of 2015 – the Grand Truffle Luncheon. Put on by Truffle Adelaide at the Market, just the Read more
KENJI MODERN JAPANESE, Adelaide
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
A HEREFORD BEEFSTOUW, Adelaide
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
MT LOFTY RANGES VINEYARD
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
TOP 100 QUEST: MAGILL ESTATE RESTAURANT, Adelaide
Magill Estate can be found at the home of Penfolds – only a short cab ride from Adelaide city. As we taxi up the long vine-bordered driveway, the excitement is building. It’s not the sort of place you go every week, or even every month for that matter – the last time I’d been was just after it re-opened in its current form.
The occasion is my friend’s Read more
OSTERIA OGGI, Adelaide
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
SAKAI IN SA Charity Dinner
After the fantabulous and glamorous ‘Asia in SA’ dinner in August this year, where I had one of the best nights EVER, last night I attended the ‘Sakai in SA’ charity black tie dinner brought to us by Ginza Miyako restaurant in Adelaide and held at Adelaide Casino. Opportunity International, who assist people to work their way out of poverty in the developing world, was the Read more
