Dinner Time!

Adelaide has hundreds of restaurants, but how do you know where to eat if you’ve just arrived here? Just read this blog and choosing a restaurant shouldn’t be a problem anymore!

Steak menu at the Excelsior 

 Excelsior Hotel (9/10) 110 Coglin Street, Brompton: They advertising their steak as the best steak in the west and I can tell you it’s true! At this restaurant I ate the best steak I’ve ever had. The staff are very friendly. On Friday evenings there is live band for entertainment that makes dinner heaps of fun. Go on a Wednesday or a Thursday in November and everything (!) is half price. 

Silk Road (4/10) 576-580 Port Road, Allenby Gardens: For a traditional Chinese meal go to Silk Road on Port Road. Unfortunately when we went there the stir-fry bbq lamb we wanted was not available and the kong pau chicken we ordered in place wasn’t that tasteful. Also the interior wasn’t that nice and it lacked atmosphere.

Ba Guo Bu Yi Chili Fish Soup

Ba Guo Bu Yi (8/10) 98 Gouger Street, Adelaide: Make your way to China Town in Adelaide, because this Chinese restaurant is great! They have quite a varied menu and the wait staff were very helpful, they served the food in only 10 minutes. Our food was absolutely delicious! The only negative thing about this place is that they could do with some new furniture, as it looks a bit old in my opinion.

Burp (7/10) 20 Hindley Street, Adelaide: Perfect for a meal or a quick snack. You all know Subway - this is similar, but with Mexican food like burritos, tacos, nachos, enchiladas and quesadillas instead of sandwiches.  The taste is great, and you can buy a meal for a very affordable prize. Check their menu at http://www.burpburritos.com/menu.html!

 

I have one last thing to say -

Enjoy your meal!!!

Nightlife in Adelaide...

If you love it to go out (just like me J), you have to be in Adelaide! Every Saturday I go out and I can tell you, this is nightlife to the max! The best clubs and pubs in Adelaide are located on Hindley Street and Rundle Street. A great place to start your evening is in The Elephant, located in a side street off Rundle Street - 1 Cinema Place. This is an English pub where it’s almost choccas (that’s Australian for busy) the whole night! Downstairs you can sit down and enjoy your drinks in a relaxed way, meanwhile upstairs plays a band. We enjoyed an imperial pint of Cooper’s Pale Ale (the local South Australian beer, similar to Hertog Jan) for just $5 and watched the band! When the band stops playing and you want to party even more, grab a taxi or walk to Hindley Street! In Hindley Street are some take-away restaurants that are great for a midnight snack and also some big night clubs to dance the night away.
