Adelaide

Amalfi

This little Italian place just off Rundle St has a loyal following and is usually jam packed. It has an inventive range of pizzas and pastas, with quality a cut above the other Italian cafes filling Rundle St.

Antica Pizzeria E Cucina

An authentic Italian restaurant. It can get crowded during the evenings, so it's advisable to make a booking.

11:30AM–2:30PM, 5:30–9:30PM (closed Mondays)

Belair Kiosk

The primary kiosk in the park, having the needs of what you can expect to find in most ordinary park kiosks.

10:30AM–3:30PM (weekends, public holidays and school holidays only)

Broadway Hotel

An upper mid-range restaurant with gambling machines, a bar and specialises in seafood.

Mon–Sat, Sun

Cafe de Vili's

Vili is an Adelaide producer of pastries, especially pies and pasties. This unpretentious eatery at their factory serves full meals in addition to pastries, and is particularly known for their pie floaters (meat pies in pea and ham soup). Shift workers and night owls regularly eat there because it is open 24 hr, 7 days. It is a minor Adelaide icon. It has a second location at 426 Main N Rd in the Blair Athol district.

Chefs of Tandoori

As the name suggest, founded by Indian chefs who deserted the Tandoori Oven across the road. Good Indian food at a very reasonable price.

Dumpling King

Plates of 10-15 dumplings, steamed/fried, pork/chicken and prawn, for $6.80-7.80.

Dutch Coffee Lab

A Dutch cafe but with mostly the standards of what you would find in an Australian cafe. A local specialty of this cafe is the Dutch Choco.

Elephant walk

Particularly interesting because it is a small, cosy cafe which is very dimly lit. Each booth is separated by straw screens so you can't really see the other patrons. It opens at 8PM and if they're full, you'll have to wait outside for a table.

Fellini

This St. Large North Adelaide cafe is packed to the rafters every weekend. The menu is Italian-based pasta, pizza and so on, but what keeps the punters coming back is the large size of the menu and inventiveness of the dishes.

Folklore Cafe

A waterfront cafe overlooking the Port Adelaide River. Has all the standards you can find in a standard Australian cafe, along with some local specialties.

(closed Mondays)

Food courts off of Moonta St

Many different Asian cuisines at cheap prices. All you can fit on your plate for varying prices plus made to order food.

Hawker's Corner

Much the same as the food courts but open at night. Cheap but tasty with a wide range of food.

Hotaru Japanese Restaurant

Cosy Japanese restaurant with wonderful food, particularly the fresh sashimi, various sushi rolls and the grilled eggplant. Home-made sesame ice cream and green tea ice cream. Hotaru is off the main Gouger St area.

Ice Cream King Trailer

What's better than to have an icecream after going out for one of the park's long or scenic hikes.

Jasmin

One of Adelaide's best Indian restaurants. Beautifully decorated, with classical music playing and impeccable service. The very hot curries (vindaloo and tindaloo) are especially good. You might also consider trying the mixed entree or orange sponge cake.

Magill Estate Restaurant

Magill. While the food here is excellent, making extensive use of native Australian ingredients as seasoning, the real stars are the view and the wine list. This restaurant is owned by Penfolds, probably Australia's best-known premium red wine maker, and overlooks the vineyards on their Magill property, not far from the city centre. The grapes grown on this estate are used to make the Magill Estate label single vineyard Shiraz. The wine list allows you to order back vintages of the Penfolds and other wines going back 20 or more years

Market 33

A typical kind of Australian cafe you could encounter in the western suburbs.

Nano Cafe

Italian home-style food, great breakfast, good coffee, value for money, breakfast & lunch only, fresh daily.

Daily·$5.80-15

Nu Thai

Slightly more expensive than Regent, with a more adventurous menu. They have a huge blackboard inside with a long list of specials which change regularly.

Portobello Food Kitchen Bar

While it might be an Italian restaurant, Mediterranean cuisine is also available.

Raj on Taj

Good, reasonably priced Indian food. There are two Raj on Taj restaurants, one in Hyde Park and one nearby in Unley. The Hyde Park one is the better of the two.

Regent Thai

Excellent and consistent standard Thai menu. The friendly proprietor Chang was a refugee from the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Try the oysters in coriander sauce, the red curry chicken, or ask for a whole fish steamed with ginger and shallots. Its sister restaurant at Glenelg, Phuket, is worth checking out as well.

Mains $13-18

Shiki Restaurant

Japanese restaurant with a nice atmosphere in one of Adelaide's premier hotels. Mainly known for its teppanyaki but also serves other Japanese dishes like sushi, sashimi and tempura.

The Banksia Tree Cafe and Restaurant

A brunch cafe serving Australian cuisine as well as American cuisine.

8AM–3PM daily

Windy Point Restaurant

Windy Point Lookout, Belair Rd. Nice ambiance, excellent service and good food prepared in a unique way with a nice view of the city skyline. For those who wish to have a less formal setting, the adjacent cafe also offers a good selection. Usually only open for dinner from 6PM onwards, though lunches are possible with prior arrangements.

Asha

Asha describes itself as a modern Australian restaurant that takes inspiration from the middle east and the mediterranean. Marvellous food and cheerful, attentive service. The eggplant side dish is close to perfect and so sweet you could almost have it for dessert. Large wine list and very interesting selection of non alcoholic drinks.

$125 per double

Fasta Pasta

The fast food version of pasta; although found in other states its popularity in South Australia is due to the chain having started in Adelaide.

Expect to pay from $10 for a plate of pasta
