Especially when the cool kids 9 Peel st and Clever Little Tailors have been doing so well! Kaffana is like going to eat at your grandma or nonnas house. It's warm, friendly, unpretentious and the plates don't look like they come from a vogue photoshoot. The owners grandma was hanging out in the back! The background of the food here is Serbian/Balkan which means lots of meat! If you are vegetarian then you might find it a little difficult to eat here. They have a huge selection of tapas, followed by grilled meats for main. You are able to do a chefs choice for the tapas at $18 for three kinds (min of 2peeps). All of our meals were hearty, made with love and accompanied by a special secret recipe family vinegarette! The wine list is small but still gutsy, I would personally like to see more South Australian wines on there but that's me being bias! From what I could see on the menu there were no desserts in sight however they do have a cheeky adult coffee menu... Did someone say spike my latte with baileys?! I will return to Kaffana and try some more of the menu items annnnd get a cocktail. The Serbian one is made with walnut liquor!

Giving a two as there is no option for a 2.5…read more.. This was a massive disappointment for me as I had booked this place for a table of 10 for my brothers birthday. Having the pressure of "the guy who knows his stuff" about where to eat in Adelaide I wanted it to be a good night. It started out as just that as a few of us were early and were greeted by very friendly male bar staff who made us feel very welcome and helped choose our drinks. That's about where it ended unfortunately. The friendly staff at the bar then showed us through to out table where we were then looked after by a female waitress who throughout the night was cold as ice. Despite our efforts to be friendly she gave us absolutley nothing, no smile, short cut answers and got the feel of the night of to a bad start with the whole table thinking the same thing. Our party of ten was seated at 6:45 and ordered by 7:00 as we were told that the next group was due for service at 8:30 and we needed to be out by then which is totally understandable. We had one vegetarian in our group who's order came a good 30 minutes before any of the other mains. After our coleslaw and potato salad was brought out to line our stomachs while waiting for the main event we were thinking to ourselves they are pushing it for time if they want us out by 8:30 and we have just recieved the salads! Still glancing at the time it was 7:45pm and were told the meat platters we were all sharing were 5 minutes away....... It finally came 20 minutes after that. Flavour was good but standard BBQ that didn't excite anyone and we needed to ask for sauce to help finish the rest as it was repetitive smokey flavour throughout and the skewers were actually quite chewy and tough. It's a bad sign when the $3 salads are the highlight, and they were amazing. We absolutely loved them. Could of had way more of them and the bread. The final dig I have to add is the fact that these meat platters are served at $45 per person. Work that out when seeing the photos of the food and it works out to be $360 for those two platters of meat.... And a few small salad fillers. Sorry guys but this drove a talking point after by the majority of the group that embarrassed me for organising it and had such poor service for the majority of the night and such very few highlights.

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.

Well worth a visit if you are in the East End!

The home style iced teas and flavoured cold milk drinks are a splash of Heaven on a summers day, and the dessert cake selection are the perfect end to a autumn nights city strolling and the chocolates and coffee are prefect in winter. The gift boxes are the prefect thing to take back to the office when you need to bribe the admin assistant (they're just a little too good to take home for mum) if they last the distance... This is the kind of place I'll take any bitter ex-pats and east coaster visitors who need to see that Adelaide's got talent, and so far everyone of them has gawked in amazement and walked out with a smile.

So you can imagine the trepidation when I walked into Waffle's Waffle and it smelt of sugar, caramel and all that warming good stuff. But I am happy to report back I finished my half belgium waffle here with ice cream and strawberries minus the cray cray aftermath and sugar overload. It was so refreshing to have a dessert that wasn't smothered in cream, chocolate sauce and syrup but was instead light, fluffy and fresh. For $8 I received a generous serving of vanilla ice cream and fresh, juicy strawberries with enough chocolate sauce to ensure the waffle wasn't too dry or bland. The half serving was perfect for a morning tea sized snack. I'm really disappointed this place doesn't open later for weeknight desserts and that is the only reason for a loss of star. But it is definitely worth trying on a weekend or early Friday night after dinner at Cos or drinks at Udaberri across the road.

Don't you just love it when somewhere exceeds all of your expectations? Well say hello to Chocolate…read moreTaperia. This little dessert bar opened only about a week ago on Melbourne Street, North Adelaide. I snapped a picture of it while it was still being fitted out, a large pink window with the words 'Chocolate Taperia' and a cardboard sign on the door saying 'coming soon'. To tell you the truth I was excited, I'm always excited to try a new dessert bar, but I was also preparing myself to be disappointed. See, all I'd seen was this large pink window that made me think this was going to be a bit too sterile but cutsey to have that real dessert bar charm. Enter last Sunday night, and the pink window is now joined by a few rustic chairs and tables, and the door now opens to a beautifully lit wooden room with antique style chairs and gorgeous wood work. Hello Chocolate Taperia - I think I'm in love. The menu is hispanic, with delicious desserts from Spain and Latin America. It was created by chef Jean-Claude de Toulouse, and he popped over to our table to explain a bit about the menu. It was a nice touch. The Sweet Tapas platters are great for sharing, but try and tackle one yourself and you'll end up wrapping biscuits up in a napkin to take home for later. They sure can be filling. There are 'warm temptations' perfect for winter, and some seasonal desserts. Chocolate Taperia do a good job at pulling off the whole package. Nothing is half arsed (excuse my french), they've put 100% into the menu, the setting, and the service. I'm always rooting for a dessert place that does more than throw together some crepes, waffles, and a fondant and call it a menu. So I hope Chocolate Taperia gets it's name out there as a firm contender on the dessert scene.

For chocolate addicts, it doesn't get much better than this (or worse if you have the "eyes bigger…read morethan stomach" condition like me). Everything from the pressed metal walls to the booths with mini lamp lights and sheer golden curtains creates an aura of luxurious, dark chocolate, I mean wooden, boudoir. The service has been wonderful both times I have been here - friendly, attentive (sometimes a little too much) and always able to manage a large crowd of people (of which there is always one around). A menu of hot and iced chocolates coming in orange, mint, chilli flavours combined with South American herbal teas, coffee and sodas are a nice introduction but lets be realistic you're here for those 2 pages of chocolate based desserts on the menu. I normally pick a chocolate tapas platter to share which changes on a monthly basis just so I can try combinations of dark sticky chocolate with churros or tarts with macarons and mini mousse pots. "Presentation" is the one word I would use to describe the essence of this place. From the carefully decorated dishes to the interior and the staffs manner, it is definitely worth adding to the "best dessert bars of Adelaide," list.
