I luckily made a reservation for my Saturday birthday brunch with some girlfriends. Thank god I…read moredid, it was hectic! An obviously popular café in Glenelg located on Broadway. A nice change from Jetty Rd, great food and drink options. Arriving mid morning, It was very popular with the majority of seats taken up. Quite a good amount of seating inside and out, with the option to buy your produce from the adjacent shop. I went with poached eggs and avocado on toast, eggs were cooked perfectly and the avocado mix was beautiful. I grabbed a Go Go goji juice which was delicious also. Friends chose the veggie fritter which was also given the thumbs up. Friendly staff and they were happy to help with your order and despite being busy, our orders came out within a reasonable time frame for a Saturday morning. Definitely worth a look if you are in the Glenelg area and want somewhere a bit quieter than the bustling Jetty Road.

Woah there, what a little surprise tucked away in Glenelg! My partner had shopped there…read morepreviously, so took me there for coffee - so glad I tried it! Gorgeous coffee, and a magnificent slice of pear and ginger cake - yum! The breakfasts that were coming out looked devine, so I'm looking forward to trying that out too. I also spied some yummy looking wraps and other lunch items on the board. Staff were friendly, and there is plenty of seating - so glad we left before the cyclists arrived though - *shudder* - nowhere is safe from them!!! We also did a bit of shopping next door in the little organic shop - it's only small, so the range isn't massive - but they do stock soap nuts, which I was very impressed with (they are nuts that you use instead of laundry powder - highly recommended!). We also sampled (and bought) some gorgeous sour dough bread made by Small World Bakery, which was delicious. All in all, this is definitely a place we will visit time and time again - yay!

This place is like my heaven on earth - cafe version. Cakes abound with so many options for all…read more Lactose free? Check. Gluten free? Check. Raw? Check? Lactose free vegan gluten free raw cake? Check. Different varieties of healthy allergy-sensitive food like chia pudding and various delicious salads are available too. Normal options for people without allergies can be found as well (and apparently are uite tasty!) The coffee is smooth and delicious, and Bonsoy is used (as well as lactose free milk, and regular milks). Lactose free hot chocolate is one of my favourites to have, although they have a regular hot choccie as well. Decor is hipster, but friendly hipster. Glass bottles of water in crates and wooden tables. Only thing is, dont bring a group because it doesn't have the space or table layout!

The Annex is snuggled away of the main street of Glenelg and appears ever so sweet. With the…read morehipster vibe dialled up to 11, be prepared for top notch coffee, twee furnishings and somewhere you can easily spend your whole afternoon reading beat up paperbacks. Completely vegetarian with some good vegan offerings, be amazed at the degree of soy replacement in your sandwiches with the magic soy bean pretending to be bacon, pancetta and other types of piggies. The ciabattas and wraps on offer are mouthwatering and well worth a proper peruse. Personally I loved their salads on offer, the dressings are top notch and the flavours are creative to deliver something which is filling and tasty and yet not a poached chook in sight. Coffee is top quality, lattes smooth and creamy, just as they should be. The Annex also acts as a live space, the piano smooshed in the corner does cop a beating occasionally and the cafe holds court as a live music venue on special nights.

Organic pizzas with free-range meats? Yes please! The pizzas are delicious. My favourite is the…read moreMargherita. The pizzas are pricey, but they're worth it. Having said that; last week the pizzas weren't as good, the base was soft and a tad chewy. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt though as we had taken them to a friends house for dinner and they were in the box for the 10-15 mins drive so they may have steamed themselves. Every other time I've had their pizza it has been amazing. Another update; they've changed a few of the recipes. The Margherita is still yummy, but not as good as it used to be. However the Double-Smoked Bacon is so much better than before (but could be improved with a few more pieces of pineapple). Goodlife still do really nice pizzas with quality ingredients.

The best thing about this pizza place is that it is organic pizza. And yes, you can actually taste…read morethe difference. Having visited this little gem a few times, I would definitely recommend trying to reserve a balcony table, especially in Summer. There is nothing better than eating fantastic gourmet pizzas whilst overlooking the square and beach beyond. The restaurant has a homely feel. Candles light the staircase as you venture up to the restaurant. The menu boards are on wood and staff wear cute brown aprons that give you some sort of reassurance as to the authenticiy of the place. As for the pizzas; my personal favourite is the mushroom pizza, complete with the most perfect mayonnaise topping - yum! This is a great place to drop by with a group of friends for a casual bite to eat.

The Champions is by far my favorite smoothie with the Bombora (if I remember it correctly) a very close second. The acai balls are second to none.

If you love places like nutrition republic, or the organik store you will love this little super charged store! A very small menu and only one seat near the window means Bom Dia does not have a cafe vibe. They specialize in raw desserts, smoothies and acai bowls and will likely serve as take aways. Acai is a super food berry, and essentially the bowls are these berries in a gelati - sorbet - type form with fresh fruit, honey and varying condiments (usually granola and banana in particular). Overseas (eg Hawaii) people usually have this as a brekky but here you are able to have these delicious treats at any time of day, even as a dessert! The staff are super friendly here. Its a bit pricey but you won't find bowls like this anywhere else in adelaide..although the trend is starting to take off! The raw desserts are also worth checking out, as well as the pressed juice shots!

Meat! This restaurant embraces the wise and timeless words…read more"You can't make friends with salad!". The Glenelg BBQ Inn is the origin and home of the Man Meat Night. Approximately once a month myself and some of the lads (there are about 15 regulars now) get together for an onslaught of meat. Needless to say the fairer sex is not permitted due to the manliness required to consume as much meat as we do. My nickname is 'The Surgeon' on account of my preference to cutting all of the fat off before eating. The go is, at the BBQ Inn one must order a minimum of the Mixed Grill which is a porterhouse, lamb shashlik, 3 chevapchichis, a big-ass sausage and some token onion, tomato and potato salad. Any other order must be approved by the Man Meat Members present. Just to paint an even more 'enlightening' picture, mid meal 'dumps' are not uncommon. The first time this wondrous occasion occurred it was my two mates (brothers) and myself. At one point I began to turn white and the waitress was incredibly concerned with my well being. This was my first experience of the 'Meat Sweats', and certainly has not been my last! Anyplace that can give birth to something as amazing as Man Meat Nights has got to be sweet as, and the BBQ Inn is most certainly that! I have noticed the quality of meat has dropped a little in the last few years, but I tend to take a LOOOOONG time to eat my half cow, so if gets a little cold and tough! By the way....if I have inspired you to organise your own Man Meat Group remember that the aftermath is often unpleasant. I'll leave it at that!

Vegetarians stay away! I have been coming to the BBQ Inn for at least 20 years, with my parents…read morecoming for much longer. I used to come here when it was the Glenelg Bay BBQ. Everytime I'm in Adelaide I always try to make at least one visit. First thing you see when you step inside is the bbq's and meat cabinet. Everything is freshly prepared while you wait. Go for the mixed grill as you get a decent selection of meats. You have to get at least one or of chevapchichis as they are amazing. The plates usually come with salad sides and the potato salad is very good. Well worth a visit whenever in the Glenelg area. Haven't had any problems with it but make a reservation just to be sure. Bring your appetite. Service is good and prices are very good.

I work nearby, so occasionally my coworkers and I will spend our lunch breaks here…read more Firstly, if you get here anywhere between 12-2pm, expect to be waiting for a while. It's always packed and sometimes I find myself standing in a line outside the bakery. It isn't as if they're short staffed. Every time I've gone in there, they have 4-5 people serving. They're just pretty popular, and honestly, I'm not exactly sure why as they sell the same things as most bakeries. I'm guessing location? During the quiet periods (which I've only seen a couple times!), it's quick and easy to get what you want. As a vegan, I haven't ordered food here or even asked about vegan options, as I don't feel brave enough to ask! It's normally too busy and I feel like everyone just wants to get in, get what they want ASAP and leave. I normally just buy a cool drink and sneak my own lunch and eat it outside under the shelter. My coworkers always get their own rolls made (you can ask for the smaller round rolls if you'd prefer a smaller option to the foot longs). Vegetarians have plenty of options. The reason why I'm rating it 3/5 is because the standing area is tiny inside. The staff have always been nice, but it's just way too busy and crowded.

I had to try this place, because it's within easy walking distance from my new job. I arrived here…read moreabout 12.45ish - it was PACKED!! Lots of workers, as well as retired people, but it didn't take long to get served, and the staff were friendly. The standing area is tiny, so at first I was waiting out in the doorway to be served. The counters are set out well though - one for sweets, one for savoury and one for sandwiches and roll ingredients. I ordered a chicken and vegetable pie - unfortunately, there were 2 small pieces of chicken, and mostly vegetable and sauce. Hmmm, not my ideal of a chicken pie at all! There is a lot of seating area outside though ... pity some of that area can't be moved to inside, where they really need the space! I will come back here to try something else - I'm not in a massive hurry though ;)

Lim's Chinese Restaurant at Glenelg is a veritable icon of dining when it comes to Chinese food at…read morethe Bay. Granted, its not traditional Chinese but its good nosh if you're hungry or you're after a feed for the family. I have eaten in on many occasions over the years but I do have a history of takeaway dining and always order their Special Fried Rice with a side serving of Satay Sauce and a couple of steamed dim sims - what can I say, I like a gourmet cookup as much as the next person but sometimes a girl just needs basic food. Love the fact that when you are dining in, Lim nearly always visits tables later in the evenings and shouts drinks for his patrons. It's a nice gesture and if nothing else is a very clever marketing touch. The staff at Lim's must be a content bunch because some of them have worked there for years. There has been a considerable change in the size of the restaurant over the years and it use to be twice the size it is now. The best Lemon Chicken going around.

Not being a great fan of "western" Chinese food anyway, my expectations are not particularly high…read more I have been to Lim's a few times as it has been around for a very long time. Each time I go (never of my own choosing of course) I hope to eat something worthwhile but sadly this hasn't happened. The food is barely passable and most meats are heavily battered. The restaurant itself is quite lovely, spacious airy and very red, of course. The service is its one redeeming feature. The staff are attentive and the hot hand towels before the meal are a pleasant touch. Lim, who owns the restaurant is a local celebrity and always has a great float in the Glenelg Christmas Pageant, complete with the "human" dragon. He is very good at front of house being very attentive to every customer. The oldies love him as he offers them free drinks on special occasions. It is a great shame that the food is so bad because they have got most of the other components right. I hope that I don't have to go back too soon!
