Best feeds in Adelaide?

calais · 28-09-2015, 06:56 PM

Hey All,

Ive found myself adelaide bound for the next ten days.... Not by choice but if the only thing I can do for myself other than work is eat, I may as well live it up.

Best pub feed? German beers? Thai, Indian, awesome brekky cafe, Where would you be heading?

Cheers!

Try the Belgian beer cafe Oostende up Ebanezer place in the city, if you like mussels they have half price for a kilo on Mondays with your choice of about 6 different broths for 15 bucks. And Amalfi in Fromme at big generous serves and tasty food.

For indian takeaway, you cant go past http://www.indiantemptations.com.au/, the butter chook is awesome, & the garlic naan is the best. Every cabbie in Adelaide calls in there for a feed.
Another great place is http://grumpys.com.au/, on the way to hahndorf, awesome pizzas

Jerusalem on Hindley St, best Lebanese food

Breakfast: Head to the Coffee Barun on Main North Road in Sefton Park, best coffee & awesome brekky.

If you want beers you won't find a better selection
(they pride themselves on having an absolutely massive range from all over the world,
they even have some sort of "beer drinking legends" challenge for you to have a go at.)
than at The Earl of Leicester in Parkside,
it's one of the oldest pubs in Adelaide, great feed as well.
(they have fantastic schnitzels & heaps of other stuff )

The place is a 100+ year old pub, it is hidden away in the backstreets just outside the city.

Not sure if they are still there, but years ago when we went to Clipsal, we stayed at Glenelg and there is a place called Fizz on the Beach - Best Garlic Bread you will ever have.

Also, we frequented a place called Cork & Clever 2 Bevington Rd, Glenunga SA 5064

Great steaks but not cheap.

The Hahndorf Inn does a mean German selection. Massive portions too
Im a fan of Raj on Taj in Hyde Park for Indian food
Good Life Pizza on Hutt Street
Sosta Argentinian Kitchen on Rundle Street is amazing
Tanapa Thai in Glenelg are the closet to doing the most authentic Thai food without being in Thailand itself.
St Louis in either Glenelg or Gouger st do incredible desserts http://st-louis.com.au

Where in Adelaide are you staying? CBD? North? South? East? West?

prydey · 29-09-2015, 04:57 PM

went here recently
http://orientai.com.au/

highly recommended, however it is pricey and depending on what you order, the serves may not be much. it tasted awesome and i would go back for sure.

Sadly staying on the base at Edinburgh......

So far we hit the city last night, half the places were closed, fair enough being a monday and tonight some bloke at work suggested the tea tree gully hotel and it seems nice enough. We are heading to hahndorf on thursday so we are looking forward to that

ford71V8 · 29-09-2015, 08:59 PM

Another vote for Grumpys, good pizza, great beers.
Its close to Hahndorf too.

blueoval · 29-09-2015, 09:03 PM

Yeah dont expect a lot in Adelaide at night mid week. Hindley street might have some places worth checking out for food but be aware it is a bit seedy there.

Since you are staying out there, you could probably check out the Louisiana Tavern in Elizabeth. I have heard it does Southern Comfort food USA style there.

Just down the road across from the Plaza is the Modbury Plaza Hotel, we eat there often and are never dissapointed, popular place, they do a decent schnitty. Best schitties would have to be at the Coopers Alehouse on Pultney st though, go the mexican.

Had a funny experience in Adelaide couple of years back.Went into pub to buy a beer,asked the blonde behind the jump for a pint.She gives me a schooner (15oz) and when I said I asked for a pint she informs me in no uncertain terms that that is a pint in SA.And South Aussies reckon the rest of the world is a bit slow LOL.

STEALTHY · 30-09-2015, 09:07 AM

Not sure if it'd be your thing, but Chicken Chef have the best chips in SA, hands down (only topped by Schnitz in VIC). If you go, make sure you go to the Enfield store. The Gilles Plains store is hit and miss as its been franchised out.

Also, if pizza is your thing, Marcellina's win. The city store is the only one open late late, but worth the drive. (I think your closest store would be Parafield, although i did hear of an Elizabeth one opening somewhere, not sure if it went ahead)
You will however pay a premium, but you can justify the cost as its not a $5 domino's/pizza hut cardboard pizza.

Have to disagree. I don't know any south Aussies that think we are ahead of anyone.

When we cross the border, this happens to us but the opposite way.

I didn't complain though because my beer was bigger than expected, not smaller

Show's how backwards SA must be. For some strange reason they use an imperial pint, which is a schooner in every other state

I do find it fascinating the subtle differences between states though.

You haven't met my MIL. She's convinced SA is subsidising all the other states...

Sorry you're wrong there an imperial pint is 20oz or 570ml. A schooner is 15oz or 425 ml approx.I know Iv'e been drinking out of them for nearly 50 years

Bossxr8 · 30-09-2015, 04:02 PM

Well the opposite of an imperial pint. I must have them backwards.

mik · 30-09-2015, 07:43 PM

Yes it can be bit strange going to another state and asking for stuff, i asked for a piece of flake in a fish shop in WA years ago (Geraldton i think ? ), the bloke looked at me like WTF ? whats flake he asks

.
sorry back on topic.

Thai Orchid in Henley Square, Henley Beach is very good.
