Best Family Restaurants in South Australia

"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."

"This boutique hotel is an artistic gem in the heart of Adelaide, with wood panelling, stripped-back brickwork and unique artwork from local artists. With only seven rooms, expect each to be individually styled, complete with king-sized beds and Nespresso machines. Downstairs, you’ll find a hip bar with fresh craft beers on tap, plus excellent pub grub (do try the chicken schnitzel and steak sandwiches)."

"These days, it’s rare to find a pub with rooms that competes with the chains and purpose-built stays but this revamped property does. The 1855 building was converted to a contemporary gastro-pub and hotel in 2012, and thanks to its eclectic charm, generous rooms and friendly vibe, it’s a standout in its price bracket."

"Pastel pink, yellow and baby blue decor isn’t what you normally associate with your typical Aussie beer garden but that’s exactly what the Jade delivers. The beautifully landscaped garden occupies the courtyard of the scenic St Paul’s Rectory on Flinders Street, which is complemented by the colourful furniture and the line-up of live music that the Jade is famous for."

"Following the suggested picturesque path, trail along Greenhill Road, around the edges of the Cleland Conservation Park, and soon enough you will arrive in a tiny town called Uraidla. Only the essentials are present here: a primary school, post office, bakery, hotel and a brewery (as we said, just the essentials). The latter three are all owned by the same company with the brewery housed inside the bakery."

"Renowned as one of Adelaide’s original microbreweries, from a rental property’s shed in the Barossa Valley, to a large warehouse in Royal Park, Big Shed Brewing Concern has certainly come a long way. Creating an array of weird but wonderfully named and tasty craft beers expect everything from the F-Yeah American Pale Ale, Californiacator West Coast IPA and Frankenbrown American Brown Ale amongst many more. Under the guidance of the Big Shed Brewing Concern team, for your visit we’d recommend partaking in the Ultimate Brewday Experience where you can get down and dirty lugging hoses, taking samples and understanding the hands-on nature of the job."

"Situated in historic Port Adelaide, the Pirate Life Brewery is home to a stunning outdoor area and one of Adelaide’s greatest range of beers on tap with 24 varieties on offer. Behind a long-spanning polished concrete bar is Pirate Life’s monstrous brewery with gleaming stainless steel tanks to adore. With entertainment aplenty, including a 22-foot shuffleboard and pinball machines amongst other games, you will never get bored."
