Cafes & Restaurants

The Café and Restaurant in South Australia page provides links to some of the top cafes and restaurants in Adelaide and South Australia.

South Australia has plenty to offer in the way of fine dining.  In Adelaide itself, several streets are devoted just to dining, from Rundle Street and Hutt Street in the centre of the city to King William Road in Hyde Park.  Many of Adelaide’s best restaurants use South Australian produce and serve South Australia’s world-renowned wines.

The best cafes and restaurants aren’t just confined to Adelaide.  The Adelaide Hills also offers a few choice locations for anyone who enjoys good food in a great atmosphere.

Whether you’re visiting South Australia for the first time or you’ve lived here for years, there’s no excuse not to enjoy the great food that South Australia has to offer.

Chianti Classico offers a fine dining experience that is simple, elegant, but without pretension.
