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
There’s nothing flash or trendy about this place… in fact the décor is old fashioned and a little bit daggy – but maybe that adds to the whole La Tombola charm. La Tombola Italian Restaurant in Parkside has been around for over ten years and touts modern Italian food.
You’ll be heartily greeted by owner and host Tony De Leso – he and his friendly staff make for a welcoming and warm atmosphere – the sort of place you just want Read more
PappaRich is all about serving delicious Malaysian food. According to their website, the name PappaRich hails from a book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki about a highly educated man ending up fiscally poor (Robert’s father), and another (Robert’s best friend’s father) – a high school dropout who became a self-made multimillionaire.
Starting in Malaysia in 2005, PappaRich seems set Read more
Funnily enough, I do love Chinese food, in fact I could eat it every day! Perhaps it’s because I’m Chinese? So I was excited at the prospect of trying out Adelaide’s Ming Room in Angas Street (formerly Beijing Chinese Restaurant), right near the Arts Theatre. Ming Room’s website boasts Chinese cuisine based on the freshest local produce, a hint of imported herbs and spices, and a Read more
Some eateries have that magic formula, and it’s obvious that European Café on the Parade, Norwood has it. 36 years in business is evidence enough! This casual, busy café has maintained its popularity by continuing to serve delicious, hearty home-style Italian food with lashings of old fashioned Italian hospitality. I’ve been there a number of times over the Read more
I so love it when I find a place I keep wanting to go back to! This time it’s Yen Linh in Field Street, Adelaide, off Gouger Street near the Central Market. I’m such a huge fan of Vietnamese food, and here you’ll get tasty, more-than-generous serves at a good price. The original Yen Linh opened up in Croydon over ten years ago, and this new one is not only Read more
After all of the hype leading up to its opening, I was very excited when I scored a booking at Kangkong on a Saturday night only one week after they’d opened. I’d been so looking forward to trying this place after what I’d read about it in the media and seen on Facebook. My friends and I had been waiting eagerly for this ‘cool new Asian place with funky bar’ (Gypsy Dragon) to open. I had high expectations – and was hoping for a place of similar ilk as Adelaide’s Gin Long Canteen or Golden Boy. Is it? Read more
