I didn’t see anything in the rules about posts like this, so please let me know if general inquiry is not allowed here.

With that said, hello everyone!

My family (Americans from Chicago) will be moving to Adelaide next year because my wife accepted a university job over there (waiting on visa process for permanent residency).

What advice or general knowledge about Adelaide would you love for us to know?

Anything amazing we should be aware of, see, do, etc? I love D&D, so I’m hoping to find a group to play with eventually (I also love to DM).

We’ve been to Sydney and Cairns a couple of years ago and absolutely loved our time there. We all cannot wait!

Congratulations, hello and welcome. Adelaide is a lovely little city, I hope you enjoy your time here.

I’m not much of a D&D person here but I have seen a few shops around the place so you shouldn’t have too much trouble in that area.

You’re in luck if you’re into food and/or wine because it’s literally surrounded by wine regions.

    Thank you! I have no doubt we’re going to love it. I do love wine as well. My wife was telling me there’s a place nearby that she found that makes some decent Riesling that I think we will want to check out. I personally enjoy reds and whites myself though.

    As for food, what do you recommend? We are all pretty adventurous, including my 12 year old kid.

    OK well, some of my favourite places are (in no particular order):

    • etica.pizza - great Italian and pizza
    • Crafers Hotel - the poshest pub I know of, the menu skews French
    • Pearl - a lovely seafood restaurant in Aldinga, which is is about an hour’s drive south of the city
    • Star of Greece - ditto
    • Hently Farm - a fine dining restaurant out of the city, and great wines
    • The Somerled cellar door: wine bar and cellar door in Hahndorf, about 30 min (?) out of the city. (Their Shiraz is my fav but this is possibly because I know the local newspaper compared it to Penfolds Grange, however I really do love it)
    • Wasai - good sushi in the city
    • Bird In Hand - cellar door and nice restaurant
    • Lucky Lupitas - nice Mexican in North Adelaide
    • Maggie Beer’s restaurant in the Barossa (the Eatery iirc)
    • the Kuti Shack - casual seafood in Goolwa
    • Coriole: nice wines and beautiful gardens, nice cellar door restaurant
    • Penfolds obviously, fine dining restaurant and separate more casual cafe/restaurant?
    • Daughter-in-Law: modern Australian Indian on Rundle St

    I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch too, there are so many good places 🙏
