A short walk (7 mins) across Light Square from the apartment is Sunny's pizza on Solomon Street. A fun, casual pizza joint you wouldn't see from Adelaide's main streets. Think pizza, beer and cocktails, and DJ tunes late on a Saturday night (open until 2am Thu-Sat), or early pizza and Riesling on a Sunday. Also next to 1000 Island bar.

We love the French classics at this gorgeous bar eatery at 27 Gresham Street, about a 13 minute walk away from the apartment, near corner of King William and North Terrace. If you want to feel cute and euro, you’ll love La Buvette Drinkery. Also good for romance over an aperitif as a pre dinner stop, or settling in to La Buvette for classic steak and frites or grazing board. 💕

A great place for lunch with traditional german sausages (bratwurst) and antique shops to browse. Great launch pad to explore the Adelaide Hills.
