Want a taste of The Continent without leaving the comfort of the East End of Adelaide? If so this…read moreis the answer to your prayers! Nestled in the quiet block of Grenfell St. just steps from Rymill Park this gem is quite abuzz with crepe making energy; there are two types gallettes (savory) and sweet to choose from. we chose gallettes to share, one La Traditionelle ($11.5: ham, egg sunny side up, and swiss cheese) and one Saint Malo ($14.5: ham, sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, basil, and olive oil). You can ask for any egg preparation, I chose scrambled. Opened for long hours each day they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The tiny bistro is a powerhouse of excellent, friendly customer service. It is adequately staffed with friendly counter help who care about your dining experience. The three times I have been there in the last month indicates consistent excellence and quick, though not hurried service. There are well prepared croissants (prepared in site daily) in addition to an authentic pain au chocolate. I plan to eat my way across their dessert case and will keep you posted on my progress. TWO THUMB UP - this is a 'must do' destination, especially when in need of respite from the day-to-day stresses of life. Treat yourself to a French stay-cation without leaving the CBD.

Well stroke my moustache and call me Francois. This french creperie doesn't hide away from its…read moreorigins. French accents exist both in the interior design and the people, you don't have eggs in your crepe you have oeufs and the kitchen is as tiny as a boulengerie display cabinet. As a result the service is in French time, the French way and without fuss and pamper. Don't let it bother you, just don't be in a rush or expect to make friends. But realistically, we're all here for one thing. Those thin, perfectly cooked, simply designed gallettes (or crepes if you're sweet tooth got the better of you). The best news is that their gallettes are made using Buckwheat flour which is gluten, sugar, egg and milk free (perfect for those intolerant people out there). My favourite is the oeuf with goats cheese and mushrooms or the one with spinach. Le Carpe Diem means "seize the day" in latin but I am curious as to why this place doesn't have a french name like "le petite déjeuner crepey crepe" or something? If anyone knows why please share!

What a wonderful experience!…read more We went here for my wife's birthday visiting from the Dallas TX USA area and it was all excellent. Reservations were easy even during Gather Round weekend via Google search. Greeting, ambiance and service were on point all night. Instant greeting, consistent yet not bothersome checking in on how we were doing and not being rushed at the end of the meal made for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. I had the Tagliatelle and my wife had the spaghetti. Both were amazing. Neither was what we've experienced to be "normal" and both were far from boring or routine. Both dishes hit every taste bud with unique and enjoyable flavors. I also added the Ox tongue skewer and that was enjoyably memorable as well. If we get to return to Adelaide again, this will definitely on the top of restaurants to visit again.

Had I not been with a friend who had a 5 year old daughter, there's a distinct possibility that I…read morewould've easily overlooked Herbees. She was instantly drawn to the Fairy Garden that's visible from the sidewalk and to the left of the cafe. Closer inspection drew disappointment when we found that the garden itself was shut "because it's too hot today". It was 38 degrees. Quite normal for this time of year in South Australia I thought? Anyway, we were able to peer through the gate and it was left to the vivid imagination of the 5 year old as to what lay beyond! We decided to stay and have a latte and sat in the courtyard. The service was very good and the prices were reasonable considering that we were in a hot tourist area. I'm sure that we'll go back there - perhaps in winter to see if it's open. And I'm sure that an excited 5 year old's mind can magically wander.

The best part of this place is the toilet! I kid you not. Many customers have left their seats, huge sized burgers and tempting milkshakes just to check out this sweet 'hole' and come out impressed. It's green, the walls have pretty murals, scent of lavenders permeate through these walls and it's just....happy...seriously, the toilet lends out a happy ambience. Food wise. They've got a good menu ranging from your usual breakfast dishes, German sized sausages and pickles, to burgers and excellent kids menu. I had the mushroom vege burger and it was huge and absolutely satisfying. Desserts range, good variety with vanilla slices, pretty rows of macaroons and more to dose up your happy genes.

Nordburger does breakfast!?! Say whaaa???…read more So I just wanna say that the words of this review is based purely on the breakky experience, but the stars apply across the board. In short, the breakky offerings at Nordburger are like Maccas... But made with delicious and quality ingredients. The English muffins are stunning... Clearly made fresh and local, they are the right combination of soft, chewy and springy. They are then stuffed with your selection... sausage, bacon, eggs... fried fritz! With this there are lashings of mayo, cheese and sauce. My bacon and egg muffin was dripping with the stuff... And I loved it! The other breakky option is waffles, served with berry sauce or maple syrup... Or on weekends only FRIED CHICKEN AND MAPLE! Yum! The chicken is generously served and oh so succulent. The only criticism is that there is no where near enough maple syrup on those babies. Breakfast also comes with standard sides available to order... You can get a serve of hash browns for $1.50. The thing that I think will prevent this from becoming a staple breakfast haunt for some folks is the fact that they only serve American drip coffee. Sure it may be a novelty, and at 95cents it's certainly cheap. But I need a good ol espresso or latte to kick start my day. Maybe I'll just settle for the sugar hit and go all out with a thick and rich Nordburger shake. Mmm...

I'd heard it was under new management and the menu had a stack of vegan options on it. So we made a booking. Inside is cute, like your grandma is cute when she puts on a new designer frock. There's no mistaking the Lady Daly is a pensioner but damn, she's a total GILF. I ordered the zucchini fritters, my mates ordered burgers and we got sides of veggies and chips. This is better than pub food, it's made with the same love your cute, newly crocked grandma makes food with and Mandy (the owner/manager) served us like we were her only guests that night (but we totally weren't - this place is pumping on a Saturday evening).

I had come by at Christmas at it was closed, but it wasn't until I returned to Adelaide that I had the opportunity to stick my head in through the doors, and I admit that I was pretty impressed. The one thing about Adelaide is that outside of the city centre there aren't many craft beer bars, so this one basically bucks the trend. In a way it is actually pretty cool, and rather trendy, for where it is located, especially considering some of the other bars in walking distance. There are some pretty cool beers on tap, and a decent beer garden out back as well. However, the thing that stands out is definitely the charm.
