Best Family Restaurants in Adelaide

"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."

"I hope you’re hungry because this is the place for a plate overload. Piled high and looking like an artist’s creation – a fantastic assault on your senses as you’re hit square on with fragrant, colourful, mouth-watering masterpiece. This is the place to head in particular if you’re a seafood lover; multiple options are at your mercy including chilli and basil fish and stuffed squid curry."

"Leading straight next door to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens though is the Adelaide Botanic Park. A popular spot to hold wedding ceremonies and have photos taken with the multitude of pretty Moreton Bay Fig trees. The area is often used for live music events so some of the park may be cordoned off, and is a nice spot to hold a family picnic so if it’s a nice day, expect a lot of other people using the area while you’re taking photos."

"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."

"There’s nothing like a long walk by the sea to soothe the soul, and Hallett Cove Conservation Park offers breathtaking coastal views along the 2km hike. In just under an hour’s drive from the city, meander along coastal clifftops with a fresh ocean breeze in your face before stopping for a snap at the insta-worthy Sugarloaf formation. Once the site of a glacial lake which melted some 270 million years ago, Hallett Cove Conservation Park is renowned as one of Australia’s most important geological and archaeological sites."

"Discover the Sugarloaf on the Glacier Hike in Hallett Cove Conservation Park. It’s a huge, unusually-shaped rock formation that was created 280 million years ago during the Australian Ice Age. See it for yourself before continuing on the beautiful coastal walk to Marino."

"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!"

"With a history stretching back to 1985, Gaucho’s claims to be the oldest Argentinian restaurant in the country, blazing a trail for the long list of South American steakhouses that have popped up all over the place in the new millennium. The pioneering eatery chargrills prime cuts of beef that are butchered and aged on site, and the wide range of locally-sourced seafood will have you salivating, too."

"Make like an Argentine cowboy and swagger into Gaucho’s, arguably the best spot in town for a carnivorous iron infusion. Grain-fed, 28-day-aged steaks are the name of the game, perhaps with an SA oyster or 12 as..."
