South Australia, Australia Food Guide: 10 Australian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Adelaide

September 12, 2019 Merry Kessler

Reviews on Australian food in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. The capital city of South Australia is simply enchanting, a treasure trove of shopping, fine arts, gastronomy and outdoor activity. Adelaide is the heart of the world's opal industry, selling gorgeous stones from South Australian mines. Be sure to hike the aptly named Mt. Lofty Ranges and catch a wave off the Fleurieu Peninsula. Indulge your adventurous palate and traipse into nearby wine regions like the famed Barossa Valley to pick up a deliciously drinkable souvenir.

We enjoyed a wine blending experience at the cellar door, followed by a degustation dinner at the restaurant with matched wines. Food was creative and highly enjoyable. They were happy to create a vegetarian degustation for me, and the standard menu for my partner. The celeriac and apple dish was definitely one of the highlights. Matched wines were well thought out and more heavily weighted to white wines which was a pleasant surprise, the traminer being my favourite. Service was super friendly and lots of space between the tables, which is always appreciated. Memorable night out!

We came here for dinner with a work group of about 14 people and had the banquet. We had a couple of gluten free people and they were well catered for. The food was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient. I had trouble finding the restaurant as Google told me that it was across the road and nobody who I asked had heard of it - so make sure that you are looking for number 132!

Reviewed By Debbie B

We were staying at a different hotel but could not resist the breakfast here, in fact we ate there three times. The food is exceptional and fresh , locally sourced. Interestingly there is a herb garden on the rooftop of The Playford . We were well looked after by the professional staff particularly Capri. Without any doubt she offered true hospitality. She is an absolute asset , seamlessly doing her job and making each guest feel important. Our breakfast consisted of fresh fruits , yoghurts, Bircher meusli and pastries , various hot food and of course barista coffee ( which was a little extra). Definitely we will be returning to this hotel which has incredible European designed decor . You can imagine you are in Parisian city or similar.

Orana

Reviewed By StephenSue

It's hard to know how to be fair to this meal. There's no doubt it was a unique experience, I think I tried around a dozen foods I'd never even heard of, let alone eaten - marron with green tea ants? Crocodile soup? All were astonishing, original and none were revolting.Service is great, and the pace is just right.But at the end of the day what counts is the food, and, to be frank, as interesting and as original as Orania undoubtedly is, we didn't leave here thinking we'd eaten a memorable meal. Some of the dishes were very good, a few were unremarkable, but none, to us, were dishes we'd be talking about for years to come.This was by no means a waste - compared with similar places in Sydney or Melbourne, the price was fair, it just didn't quite hit the heights we'd hoped for.I'd say come, have your senses challenged, and make up your own mind.

UR Caffe

Reviewed By pakabay

I recently headed into UR Cafe for some breakfast, on a mid-week morning.The place was reasonably busy and i was shown to a table against the wall. Interestingly, the bench seat base was made from old doors which wasn’t exactly the most comfortable this to be sitting on, and the old, thin cushions didn’t help much.The menus were all stained and dog eared, needing a major overhaul in my opinion. I felt like I wanted to wash my hands after handling it.But for all of that, the breakfast, standard eggs & bacon on toast was a large serve and served hot & fresh. Coffee was OK but my long black was cool before I had managed to finish it.Overall, not an experience that I would go out of my way for in the future.

Reviewed By Nimsk

The fine food and innovative menu has been covered by others here, but I was especially impressed by the reassurance at our table regarding my food allergy (peanuts) ⁠and awareness of the importance of using clean utensils, and so on, given the use of nuts on much of the menu. Very much appreciated! And the meal was excellent, needless to say.

As can be discerned from the title, I was less than overwhelmed by George, but nothing was amiss. It was a quiet Thursday. I had the anti pasti, Rather too much for one, the arancini was good and freshly cooked, the fish was also good but the rest was standard stuff. Nice olives.The duck orzo main was also substantial and was tasty, plenty of duck and a good selection of veg, the pickled small onions were a bit overpowering. I had wine by the glass. The riesling was good but the cabernet sauvignon from Coonawara was outstanding. It does have some sediment, suprising for a 2016 wine. Service was good.

Fantastic food and great wines...we all thoroughly enjoyed our dinner choices and were impressed by the flavour combinations and presentation. We especially loved the crispy skin duck.....so tender and delicious!Victors Brewery has a lovely ambience ,very friendly staff and a great outdoor area too. Before we ordered our bottles of wine for dinner we enjoyed some tastings of Victor's wines....another little extra service....Try the coconut sphere on dessert menu....truly surprising !

Visited for breakfast with a friend and got the sharing breakfast platter, was absolutely delightful. The owner was super kind and catered to my friends fish allergies, got a Spanish chorizo instead of salmon and was absolutely to die for! Everything was cooked perfectly and the white truffle sauce on the side was unreal, want more already. Waiters were super catering and friendly, finished the platter off with these sweet French toast, was super tasty! Would definitely return
