We ordered the pork croquettes for entree which I really liked, followed by the beef topped with prawns which was the real highlight and one of the best I've had in Adelaide!!

While at first glance it may appear that this is a vegetarian/vegan cafe, you can get chicken, eggs and haloumi added to dishes so don't fear bringing your meat-o-saur friends with you. I had the daily salad plate and added in haloumi thinking that I'd need something a bit more that roughage. I shouldn't have worried though as the salad itself was generous and filling with a good mix of green, grains and carbs. Simple, yet delicious, the haloumi was very salty (I assume it wasn't rinsed) and actually didn't add anything to the salad. I should have gone without as I certainly wasn't hungry after polishing off the entire plate of salad. If you fancy just popping in for morning or afternoon tea, get stuck in to the juices or the cherry iced tea. Tea fiends will love that their brew it is served either in a mug or in a pot, depending on how much tea they're in the mood for.

Whether you're popping by for a quick, quiet meeting upstairs over a De Groot coffee with Bonsoy or sharing a communal table for lunch of a soft haloumi and tzatziki wrap in a fluffy, fresh lepina with 3 mixed bean and seasonal salads this cosy little hipster cafe is worth a visit. Ask the staff to make up a juice of the day for you to take away after your meal for a perfect pick me up. My favourite they have made so far is the watermelon, orange and mint on a hot summers day! Meals are huge and very well priced, leaving you stuffed but not feeling guilty because you've probably just consumed double the serving of fruit and veg you required in the one meal. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush, but I would highly recommend taking a meeting, a special brekky with a friend or a group and sit back and relax gazing out onto Rymill Park for the morning/afternoon.

I saw a picture of the gin cured trout and knew that was what I had to order before I arrived. It was just so pretty! I was right, it was almost to pretty to eat. I couldn't bare digging into it without taking a few snaps. The trout was cured well. I feel like it could have been cured a little longer to have a deeper flavour. Maybe more salt and sugar was needed. But, that does not mean that it was not tasty! It was really lovely. The egg was poached well, crème fraîche was a great edition and lifted the dish. An added surprise was the sea greens. I really loved them. I think that not many people are used to them, but they are really tasty. The carrots were nice, but felt a little out of place. I think what the dish needed was a sauce. The crème fraîche was great, but something with a deeper flavour or seasoning. The rest of the menu looked great! I look forward to test more items. In fact, be sure to try out the coffee. I think we may have another great coffee destination in Adelaide. They offer a couple of filter options and cold drip. I am looking forward to watch how this business develops!

I'd read like, 8000 reviews about this place whilst I was laid up following surgery to fix my…read moreachilles. I tried to ignore it (ETC) - I couldn't get to the city for breakfast, heck, I struggled getting to the bay (2 min away). But the urge wouldn't go away, I was hungry. Finally, this past Tuesday, after a successful visit with my surgeon, and the banishing of my AirCast Moon-boot forever (whisper it quietly) I did it. I went to ETC. To be honest, It really wasn't what I expected, from the cafe's website, I'd pictured something a little more clean cut, a little more yuppie. To say I was pleasantly suprised by the super comfortable quirky cafe (a big red wall, blackboards, wooden furniture) interior is an understatement. I was stoked, I felt at home. The menu is well set out and easy to read, however actually picking what I wanted was the hardest decision of my life. To put it in perspective, deciding to have surgery on my achilles and put my life in the doctors hands took me less than 4 seconds. Choosing my breakfast from ETC - easily 8+ minutes. I eventually settled for the Big Brekky option, even though it's usually the last thing I would get. I just wanted to try as much as I could (there was actually a solid spread of tomatoes, mushies and spinach on it). I attended with my darling sister (who actually disowned me and referred to me as 'a friend' in her review of ETC - OUCH), who ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Our food was delicious. The service was very friendly, the staff always smiling and circulating the room to clear tables and make sure everything was alright. Everything was sweet, a great comfy cafe, delicious food and good staff. Oh and we only had to wait like 10mins for our meals. What could possibly make it better... A Chocolate milkshake - in a traditional chilled milkshake glass - with a sweeeeeeeeeet rolled paper barbershop style straw. It was delicious. For any place to put this much effort into a chocolate milkshake is ludicrous, but it's also a tipping point that ensured I wouldn't forget my brekky at ETC easily. Five eskimo's.

This place far exceeded my expectations. Staff were very friendly & accommodating, and the…read moreatmosphere was relaxed & casual. I sometimes host Meetup.com events & this was a place that for a reservation of 6 people did not ask me for a holding card or fee (because let's face it, you cannot predict if a sudden circumstance means a person or two can't make it, & the venue could easily fill available seats as its a popular spot). The only draw back of the restaurant was it was a little noisy, making it a little hard to hear the more softly spoken of us). I would suggest some sound proofing, even something simple as one of the ladies accompanying me suggested, such as curtains hung from /draped along the ceiling to reduce echo off the ceiling. However it was still cosy & had such a great atmosphere that this would not deter me in future. On to the breakfast/brunch menu... This was filled with all the regular big breakfast items but with gorgeous gourmet twists... Think smoked salmon & scrambled eggs on toast with Beetroot relish, or tomato & ricotta on toast, or poached eggs on warm garlic yoghurt on toast served with sautéed mushrooms. The other big bonus was the fruits & grains menu options, which were trendy, unusual & sumptuous. I had the fresh ricotta & banana with crushed pistachios & walnuts, drizzled with honey. On to the drinks menu... There were the standard drinks, the slightly unusual or more refined options (think masala chai), and finally more unusual options like the fruit tingle smoothie (sounds odd but was amazing, consisting of orange juice, milk, banana, honey & orange sorbet). I would highly recommend this venue.

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!!

No matter how wonderful the gallery, museum or architecture, there are forces at play that keep our endurance capped. What a better way to refresh and refuel than here! A beautiful setting. I particularly love being able to sit outside and take in the nearby architecture and the fresh air. I found the service today to be exceptional, even if our waitress was a weeny bit enthusiastic on the upselling and unsolicited suggestions. I feel the menu has a lot of variety and some gorgeous local produce, such as Paris Creek cheese and Haighs dessert. The local olives are marinated in house. The juice I enjoyed was carrot, orange and beetroot, which gave me the boost I needed. We ordered a large (and yes it was) bowl of chips with mayonnaise and that also was a well needed energy boost. The chips were crisp and fluffy, cooked beautifully and the mayonnaise was creamy and tasty. I like the paper tablecloth overlays that are available for drawing on. After being inspired by the art, having a little draw whilst refuelling is a fabulous option!

I don't get the staff chambray shirts, but that might be because I wore them in the 80s. The breakfast menu is simple, interesting and extensive, from $3 raisin bread to $16 Shanghai eggs. It has a building block of extras, so you can start with a simple toast with butter and add crushed avocado, roasted tomatoes and Sicilian beans for a few $ per extra. With a backyard for a run around, the under 10s also have their own (sensibly priced) menu. This includes a crustless panfried cheese sandwich - they know their kids. And yes they have brekky bevvies, including the heart pumping bloody mary, bucks fizz, and Campari with blood orange. We had some child free Mums near us who were making the most of their day by starting with a couple of marmalade martinis (Tanqueray gin, Cointreau,marmalade, fresh lemon). Bam.

The Espresso Room is in a fantastic location and traffic will only build during and when the new RAH is built across the road. At the moment, they are tapping into the uni student market, diverging from the usual lunchtime menus of students, hot chips and a Farmers Union iced coffee. The Espresso Room offers exquisite coffee, but I think their real specialty is their hot chocolate! Made with real Belgian chocolate beads it is silky, rich and oh so warming on a cold day of learning. Their food is expanding, with devilishly good chocolate cakes, brownies, macarons and biscuits to savoury items like gourmet foccacias, quiches and exotic salads. As it was originally an old house, the dining is split up into rooms, hence the name. But it allows for a cosy feel and large groups can congregate without annoying others! There is an outside courtyard area and outdoor seating along the footpath under umbrellas. 1 thing to remember, parking in the city isn't the easiest. It's not too bad here, you just need to bring small change for the meter!
