"One of Adelaide's oldest and longest standing teppanyaki restaurants located in the heart of the InterContinental Hotel is Shiki. Do not let their age deceive you, their skill and talent when plating up authentic dishes in front of your eyes is stellar. This award winning restaurant uses their culinary mastery to serve up plates like tropical lobster tail with herb butter and local or tosaka and wakame seaweed salad."
"The location (a former Irish pub) is slightly incongruous but the food is lip-smackingly good every time. Lunchtime yum-cha is very popular (you’ll need a booking on weekends) but the a la carte also offer high points: notably the Peking duck with pancakes, Szechuan lamb and wide array of seafood dishes, including Moreton Bay bug tails and steamed Murray cod. It also boosts a standout wine list, too."
"Decently priced and endless offerings, even if your tastebuds are delicate like mine you’re in for a treat at Siam 49 Thai. Using fragrant herbs such as basil, roots like ginger and garnishing with cashew nuts, there is such a magnificent array of flavours, meats and vegetables that you’ll just have to go back again to slowly work your way through the menu. 308 Port Road, Hindmarsh"
"Watch chefs at work in the open kitchen as they prepare authentic, flavourful and fuss-free dishes in the true spirit of South East Asia"
"If you’re looking for five-star treatment, Temple revel in beautiful spa and skin treatments. Their earthy, rustic decor will have you at peace from the second you enter and their range of treatments allows you to book in and spend a few precious hours with that special someone. Take home your very own Temple treatment with their handcrafted bath salts and recreate your rejuvenating experience in your own home."
"Located in Mitcham just south of the city centre, the Ed’s beer garden is renowned as one of Adelaide’s best. And it’s not hard to see why — the huge grassy area is peppered with undercover pergolas and surrounded by vines and lush, leafy gardens that provide the perfect setting to enjoy the seasonal food menu as well as a long list of local drinks."
"Leaving the town on Lobethal, link up with the Onkaparinga Valley Road as it will lead you straight to Left Barrel Brewing’s taproom. Here you'll find Brad Bown and his farmhouse-inspired beers within a small shopping complex. Brad’s point of difference is his love of the unconventional yeast strains and bacteria, often experimenting with the likes of Norwegian yeast kviek, Brettanomyces, lactobacillus and pediococcus."
"Nestled in the scenic Adelaide Hills, the Uraidla Hotel is fast becoming one of the Hills’ best go-to breweries in Adelaide. The Uraidla Brewery runs out of the Uraidla Hotel, and has its own extensive range of craft beers including the likes of the Half Moon Pale Ale, Old Ones IPA, and Half Moon Session Pale to name a few. Priding themselves on operating as an environmentally conscious and highly sustainable business; Uraidla Brewery grow and harvest their produce on site and, if need, they source from local and ethical suppliers."
"This stunning Adelaide Hills pub offers a great selection of drinks from the region and hearty pub food. Uraidla Hotel was renovated adding a bakery, brewery and outdoor dining. Its vintage yet modern interior gives off the traditional pub vibe."
"The Uraidla Hotel has got to be one of our absolute favourite child friendly places to eat in Adelaide. It’s just that good. Don’t get us started on the food for one thing, it’s beyond standard pub fare, it’s straight up next level amaze."
"At Adelaide’s premier contribution to the trend for rooftop bars, you can chill over post-work drinks during the week or push the boat out at weekends. This award-winning venue also features dramatic views of the CBD and even an opportunity to buy some art on your way out."
"We have grown up surrounded by the great Australian desert which has been lived in and navigated by Aboriginal people for so long."
"This place is a 20-minute drive south-east of the city centre, but it’s worth the journey when you arrive at this stunning pub set amongst the Adelaide Hills. The sunny outdoor area overlooks both the trickling Cox Creek and the iconic Bridgewater Mill, like something you’d sooner see in a quaint Bavarian village rather than on the doorstep of a major Australian city."
"The Bridgewater Inn is one of the most historic pubs in the whole of South Australia. It’s the perfect watering hole whether you’re going for a nightcap after a long day of sightseeing, or for a pit stop in the middle of the day. With its open fire and fantastic selection of ale, you can enjoy both bistro and alfresco dining."
