About the restaurant

asha is a contemporary Australian restaurant with a Middle Eastern influence.
Find us in the leafy suburb of Goodwood, Adelaide, 2 doors down from Good Gilbert. This intimate dining space has been designed to elevate neighbourhood high-end casual dining, transporting you in time and place.
We have 3 distinct dining areas available, a hotel-esq bar with deep stools which will allow you to oversee Chef Scott Fox and his team cook for the restaurant whilst you can watch the hustle of the bar, with it's tall custom built cherry oak shelves, before you - we think this is our favourite spot. Alternatively, you may find yourself in our intimate bar booths wrapped in blue velvet and leather, these are very cosy and are best enjoyed with some of your best friends or family. Lastly, our main dining space will be for those who prefer a more formal setting with a little more space, banquette seating and dining chairs.

We did the 3 course for $75 each and the food, every dish, was incredibly delicious. We ended up adding more bread and dessert because we just wanted to keep eating!! The lamb was divine. Fantastic wine selection, also. Thanks to the lovely staff for helping my mum celebrate her birthday with such a great experience.

About the restaurant

Longplay Bistro is the summation of the things that we enjoy - a casual, sometimes rowdy environment in which to eat good bistro food, drink great wine and listen to records with friends and family. Longplay Bistro pairs touchstone, well seasoned bistro fare from Calum Horn with a feature wine list and considered hospitality that caters to both fast casual and extended stay diners.

About the restaurant

* WE HAVE MOVED*
Please note we have moved location to 165 King William Rd, Hyde Park

A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef), 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. Dinner available Tuesday to Sunday and Brunch available every Saturday/Sunday.
