    Lion

    Off to one side of this popular, upmarket boozer (all big screens, beer terraces and business types) is a sassy restaurant with a cool retro interior and romantic vibes. Hot off the menu are luscious Coorong Angus steaks, market fish and corn-fed chicken breasts, served with a professionalism far exceeding the average pub.

  2. Augè

    ‘To continually strive to be at one’s peak’ is the motto here, and palate-peaking cuisine is what to expect. Try the seared medium-rare pigeon breast with soft parmesan polenta, cured pork-cheek pancetta and confit pigeon legs. WOW! (Augè rhymes with ‘R-J’, in case you want to name-drop).

  4. C

    Biga

    A cool cafe popular with Adelaide’s weekend cycling set, who exhaustedly sprawl across the outdoor tables. Head-kicking coffee and creative breakfasts – try the uova e pancetta (baked free-range eggs wrapped in pancetta with roasted mushrooms and fat toast).

    Enoteca

    In a timber-floored glass box dangling off the side of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, Enoteca plates up superb modern Italian. The gnocchi with Spencer Gulf prawns, shredded pork belly, roast tomato, white beans and truffles is heaven-sent. Classy, classy, classy.

    Akasha

    Modern Greek fills a niche on upper O’Connell St at Akasha, a classy glass-fronted restaurant serving meze (tapas-style plates) and hefty platters. Ouzo, ascending bouzouki music and knowledgable staff. The $36 lunch for two is top value.

    Jasmin Indian Restaurant

    Magical North Indian curries and consummately professional staff (they might remember your name from when you ate here in 1997). There’s nothing too surprising about the menu, but it’s done to absolute perfection. Bookings essential.

  9. Thuy-Linh

    Astonishingly unpretentious Vietnamese/Chinese eatery at the city end of Jetty Rd, with attentive service and a swathe of fresh seafood, meat and noodle delights. Bring some mates and spin the lazy susan (banquets $20 per person).

    Ding Hao

    Ding Hao is the place for yum cha. Even if you book a table, you might find yourself waiting outside as reluctant-to-leave diners spin lazy susans full of prawn dumplings, shredded duck, pork buns and (eek…) chicken feet.

  12. Gringos

    Crack a cold Corona and chilli-up in the sun at this casual, good-time Mexican cantina opposite Moseley Sq, or take your bulging burrito down to the beach. Dangling sombreros, and margaritas by the jug.

  13. Zucca Greek Mezze

    Spartan linen, marina views, super service and a contemporary menu of tapas-style meze plates – you wouldn’t find anything this classy on Santorini. The saganaki is sheer teeth-squeaking joy.

    Vego and Lovin’ It

    Get your weekly vitamin dose disguised in a scrumptious vegie burger, wrap or focaccia at this artsy upstairs kitchen. Dreadlocked urban renegades order ‘extra alfalfa but no hummus’.

    Gaucho’s

    Low on iron? Book a seat at this Argentinean meat house and order the 300g full-blood Wagyu steak, grain-fed for 500 days and air-dried for 14. Eighty dollars well spent!

    Lucia’s Pizza & Spaghetti Bar

    This little slice of Italy has been around since Lucia was a lot younger. All her pasta, sauces and pizzas are authentically homemade – perfection any time of day.

    Cumberland Arms

    Cheap, breezy Thai joint right in the Rundle St mix. Mango and coconut chicken, red curry beef, clattering chairs and chilli chatter.

    Cheap pub grub that looms large: steaks, rissoles, hanging-off-the-plate schnitzels and inexplicably popular lambs brains.

    Super-cheap $10 menu (the students love it) featuring bangers and mash, burgers, vegie lasagne, and beer-battered whiting.
