This is one of our favourite restaurants and it just seems to get better and better every time we go there. This time around we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary and they made our night feel very special. The food was on another level.

Prospect

About the restaurant

Set in a beautiful Art Deco building in the thriving heart of Prospect, Rosemont Hall is the perfect spot for friendly lunches, fun times and casual get togethers.

Outside, come for a fresh juice and a healthy Asian salad, while the kids play in the plush laneway and garden. Then stay for dinner in our beautiful restaurant and get transported to 1920’s Hong Kong.

When it comes to food, there is plenty to choose from- whether it’s a meat platter from Mr Chan or a selection of delicious snacks with a wine in hand. We are all about keeping it casual, but also offer table service for dinner in the main “hall”. Think local seafood, roasted meats, dim sum and stir-fry’s straight from the wok.

Don’t miss this suburban dining destination and home away from home in Adelaide’s beautiful inner-north.

Prospect

About the restaurant

Cafe Komodo in Prospect is garnering attention for all the right reasons with its delicious food, vibrant drinks, welcoming atmosphere and mystery location. One of Adelaide’s best kept secrets, you’ll find this modern cafe hidden down a laneway off Prospect Road. The cosy dining room and sunlit courtway are perfect places to relax with mates or family over craft beer, refreshing cocktails, hot coffee or an indulgent meal. The menu includes Australian cafe favourites that are wholesome, creative and packed full of flavour. We recommend picking off the specials board or ordering a Komodo original dish. Always bustling and full of Prospect locals, Cafe Komodo is popular so make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

What a great way to spend a few hours on Father's Day! There was a special menu and as an added bonus, a musical duo performing live. (Fairly quiet, not loud!). Great to see Komodo continuing under new ownership. The wonderful ambience has been maintained, and the food was great.
