I like that they have something akin to tapas. You can get little plates of delight for $9 each or 3 for $25. Did this one the other day where we had Arancini balls, the beef short ribs and their dips. Then we followed this with their generous selection of craft beers.
Come here to try all sorts of new things

$10 kilo bowl of buffalo wings on Thursdays!
Their usual pub menu isn't that cheap for a pub, but they have good value small plates. Try the smoked beef fillet mignon.
I do however like their pasta and their tea smoked duck risotto.

This is your average hotel that's close to the Chinatown area.
Nothing special about this place and has your average pub food.
Very average, but it works.
They have a nice cheese platter

I love the hot dog here and the huge chalice of beer that comes with it. There are large glasses for other beers too and these are definitely worth your time.
This place is now always going to be one of my first choices for a drinking hole in the city.

This review is for Candela, Goodwood SA

Blink and you'll miss this one. It's about 2 meters wide so it's seriously a hole in the wall. A few chairs in the shop is all the seating provided so be more expecting to take away rather than eating out.
They have really good food in the place. I tried something on their menu called the arepas as this is what everyone else seemed to be ordering. The chimchurri (sp) sauce is delicious and the meat is cooked very well.

There's been many times that I've been past this place and seen people lining up outside. So I guess I'm not the only one that thinks highly of this one.

Some hit and misses with this new place.
I think they're still settling down, so there's a few hiccups here and there. I think they'll learn all how restaurants are supposed to work as time goes by.
So the food is something good about this place. I like their sweet potato chips and their takoyaki (octopus balls). Their mains aren't anything to write home about, but they are presented nicely.
This one's good for a once in a while. But not too often

I think this is a fantastic idea.
They are a healthy option for a quick drink.
They do blend all sorts of fruits and they leave the options to you. There is a menu or recommendation obviously, but of course the design is up to you if you want.

Food for all. They serve vegans and meat eaters alike. However, the meat eaters will have to eat non meat foods. Haha
I like their salads and coffee. It's good they offer free milk alternatives for free. So you can try special milks such as soy and almond in your coffee.

Now you're walking down Rundle Mall and you see a bouncer standing behind a rope. You think... uh... and look down the lane. It's something fancy. Colourful box seats and a marquis surrounding this bar with a chef walking around. Now that's class.
It's unique for Adelaide and I haven't really seen this type of thing in any other city either. I'm sure it could exist, but not where I've walked.
Go in for a drink. They have the usual range of beers, which are nice and cold. Street food is the go here with items like nachos.

Come back at night where they have a 'street party'

Not sure if it's me, but I didn't think the staff were that good at their job. And I think there's a bit of a slight here and they can be a bit rude. They all say there's good food here and I like their fried rice and another dish (salty fish & chicken fried rice), but everything else is a bit average.
I wouldn't bother with this place, other than there's some decent food here. If it wasn't for those couple of dishes, I wouldn't bother with this place.
