A great option for lunch on King William Rd. I’ve used Hello Neighbor for a number of work lunches: the food is great and they cater for various dietary needs. Inside gets very noisy so it’s difficult for large groups. Outside is quieter, though there is the traffic noise. Excellent service.

About the restaurant

A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef) and Nazzareno Falaschetti (Restaurant Manager) At Bistro Français, we believe French food shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. Our menu of classic dishes is prepared to authentic recipes, alongside a few modern takes and seasonal specials. We offer wines sourced from French regions, and a handful of local producers. Share a meal with us any Tuesday to Sunday.

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 quirky place. I loved the retro theme. Lots of various areas to choose. Food was fast and fabulous and they even made a special Pina Colada. The musician was great not too loud. Ten out of ten from me.

Nest Kiosk

South Brighton

About the restaurant

Situated along the ocean front where Kingston Park meets Seacliff Beach – this venture forms the third venue within our family business after The Seller Door (café) - Jetty Rd, Brighton Beach, and The Local Canteen (coffee shop) - Henley Beach.

In an architecturally designed new build by the City of Holdfast Bay and Troppo Architects, with uninterrupted coastal views, Nest Kiosk is focused on speciality coffee, quality beachside food offerings for brunch and dinner, complimented by local wine and beer.

Our vision is to create a premium kiosk, where people can experience casual and beachside dining - think fish tacos with a glass of vino, as well as keeping true to some classic ‘kiosk’ offerings for those who roll off the beach and want an ice-cream and a cone of hot chips and squid.

Our oceanfront venue can also transform for day and evening private and public events and featured themed nights - particularly in the Summer seasons.

About the restaurant

Godi La Vita melted cheese-wheel pasta has become a legend in Adelaide. Three different cheese are matched with different past and cooked in front of your eyes by chef Federico. The modern italian cuisine at Godi La Vita is an experience you need to try to recommend to your friends. Other great dishes are the one kg Deep Pan Pizza which is thick and loaded with ingredients, perfect for sharing the pizza-love with your friends. House made gnocchi are the softest potato pillows that will melt in your mouth, but before you start your meal you have to try our famous cheesy garlic bread, and to finish home made desserts as tiramisu semifreddo or chocolate tortino.

Always a nice place to catch up with family and being on the beach front is just magic. It's busy and you'll usually need to book a table but that's just testament to the fact it's popular. We had booked in for brunch at the cafe downstairs and even that little spots had a revamp. The staff are friendly and switched on. The foods damn delicious and for a place that's busy the service it's prompt. Definitely one of our favourite places down south
