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 🙏
