From my first time there to my most recent visit, the owner of the cafe has consistently come out to greet me and ask me how my day has been. This sort of pleasantry goes a long way and leaves a lasting impression ensuring the return of their customers. It's little things like small talk, wiping down your table and ensuring you have a clean ashtray that make the experience all the more enjoyable. The Deli is limited to breakfast and lunch meals, but do both extremely well with a huge variety of dishes to choose from. Their version of the B.L.T in a focaccia is my personal favourite, and the sizing doesn't leave you wanting more. The chicken schnitzel wrap is also a delectable choice. Coffee here is superb, and the fact that they offer large mugs is a bonus - the more the better! In addition to hot beverages, the cafe also makes smoothies on demand with your choice of ingredients. My girlfriend loves their freshly squeezed orange juice and carrot smoothies, and although the combination of the two may be off-putting, it's surprisingly good. The only criticism I can make of this place is that they don't stay open too long passed lunchtime and are closed on weekends, which is a downer if you're hoping to grab a late lunch or a weekend brunch.

This is a really nice little spot to have a coffee or hot chocolate. I've had both on different…read moreoccasions, and both times I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of both the product that I ordered and the friendliness of the staff. There's a few tables if you've got time to sit down, and apparently they've got a wifi connection, but I'm not sure if it's free or not, as I didn't have the time to reconfigure my phone to check it out. I'll be going back again next time I'm nearby and in need of a hot drink.

I would rate Sevenhill as one of the best deli-type stalls in the Central Markets. Named after an…read morearea in the Clare Valley, Sevenhill is an excellent little European delicatessan, stocking a great array of cured meats, sausages, pickles, cheeses, cakes, biscuits and other treats. They are well known for their pickles, sauerkraut, dutch liquorice and smoked speck. A lovely Hungarian boy I used to date insisted Sevenhill had some of the best Eastern European cakes in the markets - think poppy seed strudel kind stuff. This is one of those stalls where half the fun is seeing all these mysterious products you've never tried before. I like to give something new a go every time I come by. This is a great store for diehard eaters of German, Polish, Dutch and Scandinavian food. Keep an eye for kassler chops, capsicum pariser and quark cheese.

Not all of the stalls in the market have a crowd of clients 5 deep waiting to get served. One of…read morethe stalls that goes under the radar is Sevenhill Fine Foods. Located on the 'uncool' side of the market (Grote Street Side), Sevenhill stocks an amazing range of European products from various wursts and sausages to pickles, sauerkraut, cheese and mustards. It really reminds me of 'Wheres Wally' when I look at the produce on offer, as I know the more I look the more bits and pieces I will find that I want to try. Wally still illudes me though!

Walking from the turnstiles, you'll pass an array of sandwich boards advertising cheap dogs. Don't get "ripped off" paying $3.00, keep walking past the: $2.80... $2.50... $1.75... wait, too cheap! Turn around and head into Le Bon's trusted hot doggery for your middle-of-the-road wiener ($2.70). Le Bon's is a cafe, but they pride themselves on their toasted, skinless dogs (skinless, really..? As if eating a hot dog wasn't phallic enough..). When I stop in at Le Bon's I punish their cheese dog ($3.80). Call BS, but I recommend requesting the cheese un-melted and on top. Neurotic, but hear me out. Le Bon's smears a bun with tomato sauce, sprinkles cheese, toasts it and then pokes the meat in. Too close to a budget-ass pizza. Let a dog be a dog, keep it traditional and get a little mountain of above ground, un-melted cheese. Warm service. Nothing like riding public transit and getting subterranean to work up the appetite for a dog or two. Gringo D. Licioso is lurking... get this man a toasted, skinless hot dog before he wigs the f*&k out.

This is the only stall in the Adelaide Central Markets that does hot nuts! What a delicious and…read morehealthy snack they make, although I'm a little too fond of the salted variety to truly appreciate the health benefits! I also pick up figs, mixed fruit and large packets of almonds, etc for the pantry here.

After having unsuccessfully tried a number of other places in the market to ask whether their 2 or 3 "range" of dips had dairy or nuts in them, I was so refreshed to walk up to a store who had a detailed "gluten free, lactose free, nut free" listing for every one of their 20 dips on offer. There was such diversity in flavours from plain beetroot and hummus to Mediterranean Bean Dip, Pomegranate and walnut or Coriander Pesto. They also have a large range of South Australian and traditional Mediteranean single or mixed olives to choose from and cheeses galore. Aside from gazing into the ice cold cabinets full of goodies you can also check out the mini deli inside for any last minute unique ingredients you want to add to your antipasto platter, like biscuits, fig jams, spices, oils and more. The prices here are slightly higher than some of the Central Market's other stalls but the overly helpful service, informative nature of staff and diversity of range means I will be shopping here every time for any dipping or nibble needs.

All the staff are passion foodies and will happily chat about different products on offer and let you try before you decide. They do an amazing trade at lunch time with their hugely popular baguettes. When I worked at Kent Town, I would drive past a dozen other sandwich places to buy my lunch here. There are 12 choices filled with all the yummy fillings you see in the display. They are made to order (they're pretty quick) so you can add or change any filling you like. Baguettes are around the $8 to $10 mark. Norwood Fine Foods is in the Norwood Mall next to Coles.

Stacked to the rafters with pantry delights (many of them local and South Australian), you'll spot olives, cheese cut to order, dips and so on, as well as gift packs for the food lovers in your life. Personally, I prefer to head down to the Central Markets for my small good needs (cheaper, more variety) but this place is a good second for a local option. They also yummy take away foods, like the baguettes that Rani mentioned. My hot tip: the kranskys here are GOOD. Yummy and made on the spot so they're fresh and good quality, though they don't offer a lot of toppings or chili sauce which makes me a little bit sad.

Keeping it in the Greek family…read more This classic inner Adelaide suburban corner shop used to house George and his family serving up deli items when every suburb had a reliable deli for the last minute, need it right now milk, ice cream or bread before we had supermarkets open to 9.00pm (yes this is awhile ago). Back then Parkside was a bit dingy, a bit boho and very multicultural - Greek and Italian families predominated. Fast forward 25 years and Parkside has now been gentrified and and is a bit yuppiefied but blessedly Duthy St deli harks back to its deli origins and not just in name only. Vasili our host, has been smoothly operating a very successful cafe here for a number of years. Good service, well trained baristas, efficient chefing on view and a consistent, reliable extremely well presented selection of breakfast and lunch cold and hot items. Shrewdly but thankfully very competitively priced in a locale that could cough up more. Always good and always fresh -congratulations on maintaining the tradition in a slice of slightly out of the way suburbia. PS I do miss the Haigh's dark chocolate buttons though that used to accompany the coffee (I'd be prepared to pay a little more to have the chance to drop one in to create a gooey chocolaty melting moment on top of my latte/cappuccino froth). Ah - those were the days. Sigh!

Especially got a laugh from the visible work 'notice board' reminding wait staff to generally stop being idiots and stay off their phones during service piled amongst other threats. Does explain the faultless service on their part. Food is pricey but utterly amazing, the space is huge and the service is awesome so ruling with an iron fist must be working for them! Coffee was made by who I assume was the owner as he exuded the kind of confidence with a coffee machine only decades could foster. The eggs were perfect, my partners french toast and burger were beautiful and all up it was a great and riotous experience. Will be back!

This is an East European Delicatessen, quite special in its own way. You can also get things like…read moreDVDs here for $1 per week rental from their extensive library and gift items as well as beautiful Icon Cards from Russia, so it is more than a food store. Some of the favoured dessert wines and liquors from Eastern Europe are to be found along with most of the traditional items you'd want in the kitchen. I always enjoy having a look around in the store and am enamoured with their relaxed attitude to life the universe and everything. Music Cd's, books, magazines and if you crave it, company of other Eastern Europeans... if you are a traveller you can immediately network into the local scene through this place. You can pick up sweets, desserts and good advice on how to cook with many of the spices and traditions of the Eastern block as well.

The décor is groovy, the staff are simply lovely, and the atmosphere is just so inviting. What is on offer here? There is lots to choose from, but what grabs your attention first is the vibrant and colourful salads on display. Now, I am a lover of cafes that make an effort to make a hearty salad. And boy to they deliver; beans, quinoa, lentils... you name it! You can order a salad to be accompanied by stuffed mushrooms, lasagne, frittata, stuffed tomatoes, and just wow! They are not all about the salads though, they also offer some pretty amazing smelling soup, toasted Turkish bread sandwiches and wraps. I even got my hands on a healthy salted caramel slice. Now, the verdict: The salad was seasoned well and plentiful! And I mean plentiful! If you want a big lunch, stop here. I loved the lasagne and the bean salad was my fav with lots of veggies and a lovely sauce. I think I have found a new lunch place on this side of town! Hooray!
