You haven’t been to Adelaide unless you’ve tried Gin Long’s salt and pepper eggplant. This super cool Asian bar in North Adelaide is oh so popular with the locals and we think it has a thing or two to do with their winning cocktail menu. We’re talking tamarind gin longs, Henricks, lychee and cucumber and lemongrass martinis. Food-wise, there’s no way to be disappointed. The beef salad, vego yellow curry, netted spring rolls and really slow braised pork belly are bloody good.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Adelaide, Africola puts a modern spin on African cuisine and it’s so popular you’re going to need to make a booking in advance. Opt for the feed me menu and let the chef show you a good time with their cauliflower steak covered in tahini sauce and spiced butter, crispy eggplant served with chilli and shallot jam, peri peri chicken, and cool WA pipis in fermented chilli and garlic. Regardless of how stuffed you are, dessert is not optional—you’ll roll home, but you’ll roll home happy.

I have never met a person who didn’t like Argo and it’s no surprise because their menu is the epitome of variety. With two locations, one in the city and one in leafy Norwood, you’ll feel good about eating at Argo thanks to the quality meals they whip up on the daily—think smashed avo with nitrate free Barossa bacon, nut and gluten free vegan waffles and juices to cure any number of ailments. Allow yourself a decent amount of time because the menu will take you 15 minutes to read and then it’ll take you another 30 minutes to decide which of the 10 plus hot chocolates, smoothie bowls or burgers you’ll be enjoying. There is no way to visit Adelaide and go to Argo just once.
