If you love good quality food, you'll love Norwood Fine Foods…read more They stock really delicious small goods, pates, a huge array of cheese which can be cut to order and lots of other t'riffics - sweet and savoury. All the staff are passion foodies and will happily chat about different products on offer and let you try before you decide. They do an amazing trade at lunch time with their hugely popular baguettes. When I worked at Kent Town, I would drive past a dozen other sandwich places to buy my lunch here. There are 12 choices filled with all the yummy fillings you see in the display. They are made to order (they're pretty quick) so you can add or change any filling you like. Baguettes are around the $8 to $10 mark. Norwood Fine Foods is in the Norwood Mall next to Coles.

Cheese and cured meats and pickled onions, oh my!…read more For fans of gourmet small goods, be prepared to pass out when you enter the doors of this place. Stacked to the rafters with pantry delights (many of them local and South Australian), you'll spot olives, cheese cut to order, dips and so on, as well as gift packs for the food lovers in your life. Personally, I prefer to head down to the Central Markets for my small good needs (cheaper, more variety) but this place is a good second for a local option. They also yummy take away foods, like the baguettes that Rani mentioned. My hot tip: the kranskys here are GOOD. Yummy and made on the spot so they're fresh and good quality, though they don't offer a lot of toppings or chili sauce which makes me a little bit sad.

I came across Dimi's completely by chance one day when the local cafe I was heading to was closed…read more This place is a little delight, and its simplicity is reminiscent of the old traditional sandwich shop that no longer seems to flourish an age controlled by chain stores. Dimi's isn't fancy, and you're not going to receive anything spectacular; but it's a nice, quiet little cafe that does some darn good lunch items. The chicken schnitzel baguette is badass - any time chicken schnitzel is incorporated into some sort of sandwich, I can't help but get excited! The coffee's pretty good too, so you can get all of your essentials in the one place. The Kent Town area is relatively quiet and makes for a very quaint experience. It's a wonderful spot to go if you're in the mood for a quiet one. The service is exceptional and the owners are incredibly friendly, and makes Dimi's a special little shop.

Oh yeah, this is one f*cking awesome food truck!…read more Today I sampled both the southern-style chicken and slaw bun with pickles, onion rings and ranch, as well as the Texas pulled pork and slaw bun with BBQ corn and BB pickles. (both $9) In a word? YUM-AZING. To top it off, they have *cherry* Dr. Pepper in the fridge. These guys literally cannot get any damn better! The truck shows up in various spots around the CBD for lunchtime, so check their FB page for where they're going to be on a given day. They usually announce it the night before, along with the menu items they'll be serving.

American Diner Food on the road. Need a good serve of…read moreAmerican Diner food? Well this Van is the one for you. The Van may be small but the flavours are not. There's usually only 2 or 3 choices served each time the Van is on the road. You get to choose from some of the following tasty treats: Toasted Rueben, Texas Pulled Pork Roll, Pastrami on Rye, Cajun Prawn Po Boy, Beef Debris Po Boy, Philly Cheese Steak, Southern Fried Chicken Bun or even a Salad and of course the always present Deep Fried Pickles The home made Slaw is an excellent add on the great tasting meats used and even a BBQ Corn Cob that comes with the Pulled Pork Roll adds an extra something. The flavours are just great and at a decent price. To top it all off the owner/staff in the Van are great, going out of their way to remember their regulars. a real nice touch.

What a great find! My friend, Mirella, brought me here a few days ago for a coffee and a shared…read moreorange polenta cake. Oh my!! Needless to say it has haunted my dreams since, so today after a hard workout my husband and I biked over for lunch. The first thing that strikes you while approaching from Kitchener Street is the lush, inviting covered wrap around porch; there is plentiful and adequately spaced tables located here (so as not to be forced to overhear unwanted convos). Next, upon entering this clean and tidy cottage you will notice three separate distinct seating areas: the main dining area, a smaller dining area tucked away by the kitchen and pastry counter, and a delightful and welcoming covered deck. We were promptly greeted by one of the friendly staff and seated straight away. Tap water, glasses, and menus were waiting at the table and after an appropriate amount of time our order was taken and special requests confirmed. This place is really busy but it seems well managed; the staff is very attentive without being intrusive. As we waited for our order we noticed the bustling and efficient staff who worked like a well oiled machine - dirty dishes were quickly removed from tables, additional carafes of tap water were dropped off without being asked for, and patrons seemed relaxed, very happy, and satisfied. By meals' end we, too, were among those happy people. My husband ordered a sandwich that I struggle to recall the name ;( it was a hearty sandwich made from perfectly toasted sourdough, grilled chicken breast meat, swiss cheese, garlic aioli, a mix of tender and flavourful greens, and crispy bacon. I ordered the smashed avocado with feta on the same delightfully prepared sourdough. It, too, came with a generous portion of greens. We could not be happier with our newfound neighbourhood brekkie place. AND there is a coffee loyalty card to boot!

I chose a made to order BBQ Pork Baguette. Well.. just the bread OH MY so tasty, earthy, some of the best I've tasted. the fillings were fresh and tasty (pork, brie, lettuce mustard) well worth the price.

I have given them five stars for their outstanding, friendly and keen service - even though that day they were just trying to get their name out by giving their goods away for free. Thats Right - I had a coffee and an apricot pastry (my god it was amazing) and a delicious brownie, FOR FREE. What a bunch of champs. I'm assuming it isn't free anymore - but who knows? I haven't been in Rundle street for a couple of weeks. From what I tasted, the coffee was great and the food was delicious. The decor is new and funky. The staff were really friendly, smiley and eager to please. Has great potential but as I said, I haven't been here since they have started charging for food, so I'm not sure about price etc. With so many restaurants, this is a great new option for lunch/coffee in the East End!!

Much as it pains me to say, I really really enjoyed this burger experience…read more Why would it 'pain me' I hear you ask. Well I must admit kind of wanted to hate Grill'd. I wanted the service to be flawed and the burger to be rubbish because this franchised store is muscling in on the home turf of some fantastic, locally owned burger joints, all with brilliant back stories and great local connections (that being said, I am very aware that Grill'd do some great local initiatives at each store for local community groups). Grill'd is a Victorian franchise and we all know that there's a bit of an established rivalry there so I had plenty of reason to be apprehensive. So here's the tale of my first (and yes, certainly not my last) Grill'd visit; Even a week after their grand opening there was a line-up out the door - either people are keen to try something hot and new or these burgers are genuinely good (probably a little from column a and a little from column b). The line moved super quickly and soon we were at the front - ordering a Mustard and Pickled! beef burger and a Goats Cheese and Hummus lamb burger - there was a choice of bread - we chose the healthier looking wholemeal one and then topped it off with some 'famous Grill'd Chips' (a claim I though a bit bold considering I'd previously never heard of their fame....) Finding a table in the crowd was a little struggle but we grabbed one and not long after, despite the large number of orders, our food arrived. At first it looked a little too healthy - I get that it's a healthy burger joint, but when it comes to burgers there is a fine line...any how, the first bite took away any doubt I had in my mind. The mustard and pickle burger was divine - great flavours and delicious at every bite. The lamb burger was fantastic as well (please note I didn't eat ALL of both - I shared...) and to top it off, the seasoning on the chips has left me wanting more (the chips themselves weren't anything to write home about, but the seasoning blew my mind). After my meal I also felt great - not heavy and weighed down like I feel after eating some other burgers! There are many other options on the menu that I'm itching to try so with a heavy and a guilty conscious I will be returning to Grill'd in the very near future.

Great staff (very well staffed, unlike the other boutiques who are often understaffed), great set…read moreup, great menu, quick service, very spacious. Cute kids burger deal in box but it wasn't a mini it was a big one cut in half! Steak sandwich would have been good had it have been on a toasted thin lepinja or whatever but it was on a giant bun. The "healthy" zucchini chips were battered and then fried. The sweet potato chips weren't battered but they were reheated so we're soggy yet still greasy and salty. You can't buy a side salad unless you buy a complete chicken salad meal (All salads have chicken, no other option). If you just want a burger and a beer then this place is fine off peak when it's not packed but it's not healthy or fresh. It just has great imagery but so does everywhere now. The staff are real nice and friendly much better than the other new boutique chains whose staff still have that less interested slap up burger joint feel. This chain is the 'Virgin' (as in Richard Branson) of the burger chains. The Norwood store has a great location. Bare in mind in terms of quick eatery options around now compared to say Argo across the road, I gave it 3 stars but compared to other similar burger joints its 4 stars (4.5 due to great staff, location and Reggae singers!)
