Best Diners in Adelaide

"Popular for its vegetarian cuisine, Two-Bit Villains (TBV) burst onto the Adelaide food scene at the right time. With an atmosphere that’s quirky and one-of-a-kind, TBV is perhaps known best for their handcrafted sodas – and deservedly so!. Made completely with real fruit and spices, your first taste will leave you craving for more."

"When this sleek eatery —all polished concrete floors, minimalist lighting, and textured grey walls — opened at the end of 2017 in newly cool Henley Beach, it quickly became a local favourite. Set one street back from the sand, the centrepiece at Acacia is a 5.4-metre white mosaic-tiled coffee bar. During the week, a steady stream of beachgoers swing past for their morning takeaway; on weekends, it buzzes with the brunch crowd devouring classic poached eggs alongside more unexpected dishes such as miso eggplant served topped with puffed rice and grilled kale, and a sensational confit duck leg served with a fried egg and spiced honey on house-made crumpets."

"Acacia is a casual yet sophisticated space, dishing comfort for everyone from the local beach bums to the visiting city dwellers. The space transforms from breakfast with OJ to dinner with Pinot seamlessly. Using a combination of subtle textures and materials to create a refined, welcoming...See More"

"Open for lunch 6 days a week and dinner 7 days a week, Charlies Diner offers an extensive buffet that can’t be missed. Choose from Asian dishes, international options, a salad bar, and a vast selection of desserts. Buffet prices vary throughout the week and depending on whether you’re dining for lunch or dinner."

"Arguably Adelaide’s leading craft beer dedicated bar, NOLA has become a go-to destination for craft beer enthusiasts. With its New Orleans theme, NOLA Craft Beer & Whiskey is also one of Adelaide’s best jazz bars and serves up great food with a focus on Creole and Cajun soul cuisine. With 16 tap beers on rotation, visitors can expect an extensive range of both independent and craft brewed products from South Australia, interstate and overseas."

"For this little gem you're going to have to head a little out of Adelaide itself, but if you're after another restaurant that offers unique tastes that the rest of the city's dining spots can't offer then you'll want to make the drive to Taste of Nepal. Located around a 15 minute drive outside the CBD, Taste of Nepal provides quality Nepalese food that takes the best features of most Indian cuisine and adds a different spin on the majority of its dishes to create a range of tastes most westerners will not have experienced before. This involves a subtle use of spices that Taste of Nepal has down to a tee, and adds an infusion of flavour that makes every dish its own unique experience."

"For those looking for healthy kid-friendly meals, the Seven Stars Hotel on Angas Street is a great option for families. The menu consists of favourites such as a mini beef burger, chicken nuggets, chicken tenderloins, gnocchi Napolitano, and a tuna melt. Meals are only $10 each, except for Sundays where kids can eat for free."

"If Semaphore were an author, it'd be Jack Kerouac – bohemian, poetic and partial to a drink. Wander the main street before gentrification takes hold, ducking into Sweet Amber's red-brick shopfront for a craft... Microbrewery in Adelaide"

"Located on Frome Street, this stunning new rooftop bar, Luna10, is not to be missed. Spend hours enjoy the breathtaking view of the city lights, while you sit by the pool or cocktail lounge. From delicious cocktails to a menu of fresh dishes, Luna10 is Adelaide’s highest poolside bar and cocktail lounge - a perfect place for work or play."

"It’s only 20 minutes drive from the centre of Adelaide and a perfect way to see much of Australia’s native wildlife. Set in acres of land, this park provides an immersive nature experience, with a limited number of enclosures. The best bit is you can roam amongst kangaroos and wallabies, wombats and see a koala up close."

"The Cleland wildlife park is an amazing area when you can feed kangaroos!. There are over 130 species of Australian wildlife that you can walk around and many of them you can feed or visit. This is one of the absolute must-see, award-winning wildlife parks in South Australia."

"If you'd prefer to spend a day solely among Australia's endemic animals – kangaroos, koalas, emus, etc – then don't miss this beloved wildlife park in the Adelaide Hills!"

"About 22km (14mi) from Adelaide’s centre, the Cleland Conservation Park is home to the Cleland Wildlife Park, Mount Lofty Summit, Mount Lofty Botanic Garden and Waterfall Gully. Making for a great day trip from the city, you can combine visiting the animals at the wildlife park with the flora and fauna of the Botanic Garden, before braving the hike up to the top of Mount Lofty, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas over the city all the way to the coast. Take the scenic route down through Waterfall Gully, before heading back to the city and treating yourself to a well-deserved meal at one of the city’s great restaurants."

"A post shared by ClelandWildlifePark (@clelandwildlifepark) on Jan 6, 2019 at 1:32pm PST. Having visited many wildlife parks over the years, we decided to leave Cleland Wildlife Park off our list and were then berated by friends for doing so!. The park has been running since 1967 and provides an immersive nature experience for visitors who can connect with animals in their natural environment."
