However the service was so incredibly slow, we had to say in advance if we wanted the 3 course meal! If we had known in advance we wouldn't have had 3 courses the first 2 took almost 3 hours! We were probably the last table to arrive and only the two of us, but we were not the the last to leave so how long other tables waited is any ones guess! Nearly 4 hours for a meal, REALLY!

Memorable was the day in 2008 when Jacques and Christine Naudin closed the doors of their La…read moreGuillotine, our iconic French restaurant. It was a trail blazer and considered ooo-la-la in good ol' Adelaide for 25 years. Happy times were here again when Bistro France was born in Burnside Village - with daughter Cazz as manager and son Philippe spending time in the kitchen. Sadly Jacques has since passed away, so it's extra special to have Christine continuing to make us feel not only welcome, but part of their hospitality history. Décor wise, memories of La Guillotine and feelings of belle-époque abound. Absinthe posters, French copper long-handled pans and chic bistro surrounds set a richly apt scene for the food to come. I brought my family here to celebrate my birthday, as I dearly wanted to introduce them to Christine and her family's cuisine. They were jazzed. After a festive French feast of escargot (always great to watch newcomers young and old step up to try their first snail), double-baked three-cheese soufflé, duck liver pate, garlic-buttered prawns with herbs, L'entrecote beef with Béarnaise, confit of duck a l'orange, and chicken breast stuffed with avocado and brie - they were raving. With chocolate profiteroles, fanfare of Grand Marnier-flamed crepes, and delightful smashing of crème brulee toffee lids - it seemed like everyone's birthday.

You can choose from crepes, creme brulee, creme caramel or other favourites, along with a coffee, for $7.50 at any time of the day. They use Rio coffee, which is strong with a smooth taste, yet somewhat dry aftertaste. It's great with some water on the side to wash away the aftertaste. The staff are more than happy to cater to any coffee requests. I asked for mine latte to be made normally, but poured over ice. The waitress checked that I did want hot milk, not cold milk which won't melt the ice. Since I like textured milk, I went with hot on ice, and it is a beautiful combination - though not for everyone, I'm sure. The food here is quite pricey, and quite traditional. Their list of spirits and wines is impressive. It's just a pity you can't do anything other people's atrocious children, capable of thoroughly spoiling a nice, quiet time.

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.

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!

The service was cheerful and snappy and the passing life in Ebenezer Place was lively, lots of people seeming to know each other. There was a lot of meeting and greeting around the tiny restaurant entrance. Waiters politely dodged the impediments. Our snails came with proper escargot tongs in the most exquisite garlic and herb butter. The toasty French bread was a bit too crisp to soak up the butter but it was just as well. My friend had Croque Monsieur which was rich and wicked, bechamel sauce and cheese and a fried egg on top . He simply wolfed it down. My boned and butterflied trout with green beans took longer to eat and every morsel was a joy. The trout was nicely charcoal-seared on the skin side and very lightly cooked on top. The tastes and textures sang together in a light buttery sauce from the beans which were not too firm but just right. It was best trout I have ever had and I am still purring with pleasure.

Such a lovely accent. * Design and presentation of the café is so different in a unique way, perfect for Adelaide. With bright coloured seats outside and mirrors with gold framing covering the left side of the wall as you walk in.

Interesting! * Large selection of meals to choose from. * Large portion size, there should be a sign of guarantee that you will not leave with an empty stomach! * Service was fast & sweet. And sandwiches are AMAZING! I mean when I think about ordering a sandwich outside of home, I think well what's the point really? But arriving at Hey Jupiter and reading the reviews about their sandwiches, made me grab one anyway. I grabbed the Poached Free Range Chicken Breast which should have gave myself some time to breath whilst stuffing it down my mouth! A great combination of flavours and amazing sauces, was impress with the outcome and portion size. I've visited Hey Jupiter twice already and I can only think I'm going to be visiting much more.

This creperie only opened its newly renovated doors on Wednesday. We waited about 10 minutes for a table to become available and we then grabbed a seat at the communal table in the middle of the room. My partner n I ordered 2 lattes which were lovely, they use Fleurieu Milk, and a sweet and a savoury crepe. Our savoury option was the sausage, onion, egg and cheese crepe. The onions were lightly caramelised and the whole dish had been kissed with butter. Our sweet option was banana, chattily, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was very nice. I believe they make their ice creams on site. The batter for both the sweet n savoury crepe are different, with savoury being much darker. They also have imported French cider, which is meant to be great with a savoury crepe, as well as a selection of local beers too. I was very impressed on the quality of our meal and service on a day which was obviously very busy and a little bit stressful for the staff of this new local haunt.

We were lucky to have fluked the last table for two on a night where everywhere else was jam packed, had great waiters who were there each time the water glass was close to empty and who were genuinely interested in our dining experience throughout, were there whenever we needed, but were also not invasive! Went for the duck rillete and the pork meatballs in blue cheese sauce for starters (starters begin from around $5-15) with a whole selection of other things catching my eye that I must try next time! And for mains I got the steak with fries as I was feeling like something really earthy and fulfilling. The food was absolutely stunning, paired with a lovely Spanish Alicante bouschet/mataro for drinks I couldn't have been more happy come the end of the service.

This is really a hub for creativity, whether it is for artists, businesses or events. No matter your venture, you will be welcomed here and looked after. The crew at Tenth & Gibson went out of their way to help me out with my event. No matter my enquiry, they found a way to assist and support what I needed. What I do love about this space is that it is well priced, open, well sized, funky, colourful and you can pretty much work the space you want it. There is nothing to navigate around; and there is great acoustics and lighting. There is some pretty cool street art on the walls and the decor is really funky and eclectic. So, you don't really need to do much to dress up the room. It already looks really great. The other bonus is it is just outside of the CBD and there is free street parking! Your guests will love that! If you need it, you can make great use out of the photography backdrop. You can project onto it or use it for your own photography for your event. It was a brilliant backdrop to my photos of guests. If you do have a catered event, there is a space to the side of the main Venue room you can use with easy street access. Speak to the staff about using this. I was absolutely delighted to have used Tenth & Gibson for an event. It is by far one of my favourite venues in Adelaide and I recommend it to anyone looking for a space for large or small events.
