You can pick up Coorong Angus beef, Pure Suffolk, Hay Valley Lamb, Limestone free range beef and my favourite, Spear Creek Dorper Lamb, as well as many other local products. If you're looking for cheap by all means shop at Woolworths across the way (many others do). But if you want quality produce for your guests where they can taste the difference, this is a great place to shop. They also have a great website with loads of recipes and an online store where you can order meat to be delivered. Feast at Unley offers truly outstanding products and lovely, old-fashioned service.

I don't eat meat so cannot comment on their red meat but Feast's stores have an excellent range of locally sourced, small producers. We can feel good supporting our local farmers who are providing unique produce and cuts. Very well displayed and tempting store and their staff are very happy to explain cooking methods and times. The sausages were yummy and I will be back to try their chicken, cinnamon and apple sausages or traditional gourmet chicken variety. High end prices but excellent quality product.

I was in Adelaide on business so wasn't in the market to buy any cheese, but regardless the cheesemonger here was happy to chat to me about cheeses, and even gave me a few samples of some of the more interesting ones available. The staff here were so lovely and willing to share knowledge (and samples!) or a number of their products. I tried a number of their italian vinegars and settled on a rather good bottle of balsamic to slip in my suitcase to take home. If I were having a dinner party or picnic in Adelaide, then I would absolutely make a stop here for a chunk of fromage, a bottle of wine and perhaps a little charcuterie. It would also be a great place to buy a gift for a food loving friend!

Wow! Just Wow! That is pretty much my review there. But, I should probably explain…read more I am just so stuck for words in finding such an amazing store. The part that really has me so excited is that they have their own refrigerated cheese store and display room. With it's own sliding door entry and exit. I would describe it as walking into the Magic Cave at Christmas for the first time. The smells, the excitement, the overall overwhelming sense of happiness. In fact, (and I could be wrong) but I think that this might be the only refrigerated cheese room in a speciality store in Adelaide. That means you have to check it out. This is a glowing cheesy heaven. I should also mention that Bottega Rotolo stocks diverse range other items as well. Oils, condiments, Italian wines and food speciality items. Please note that all of the items you will find in this store are top quality. I think that this store is a great place to shop for presents as well. You can purchase a wide range of balsamic vinegars, teas, chocolates, the list goes on and on. But, let's get back to the cheese room. The range in this display room is really and truly grand. They stock a lot of high grade cheeses to the affordable kind. So there is something to suit all budgets. The best part is that this store offers educational experiences about speciality food items and cheese. This would be a great idea for a work group to do something social and different. There are various samples for you to try as well to assist in making your decisions. Do not hesitate to speak to the lovely and knowledgeable staff. They are more than willing to help and a re very passionate about their produce. I insist that the people of Adelaide try this store. You will, like me, will want to move into the store and just indulge on everything!

I was rapt to find out that they had opened a store in Mitcham Square, where you can buy the best of their sauces (bottles) and freshly made pastas, gnocchi, lanagne. Everything looks really good.

Lucia's also have their own range of products as well as a range of gift boxes that are unique to South Australia. You can buy everything from Lucia's pasta sauces to their coffee blends. My personal fave is Lucia's Balsamic Vinegar. It's a sweet, sticky delight that brings any salad to life. With a rich family history that started in Southern Italy, they say all of Lucia's foods are foods made with love and I'm sure they are but all I can say is I LOVE Lucia's.

At my last visit, I couldn't resist the lamb and mint patties which later proved to be a hit with the family. I also grabbed a bargain with the twin pack chicken retailed at $8.95, which was perfect for a roast. I love that they stock Beerenberg products here and if you're running out of time and want to avoid another pit stop, pick up some pasta, vegetables and sauces here. For the blokes who love their roasted pig, a spit and mobile coolroom is up for hire. Perfect for those summer barbies.

Be sure to sign up for their rewards card and e-mail list to get the latest specials on offer or just look up their website. There are ready to go prepackaged meat packs in the supermarket style fridges or ask for it still mooing from the meat counter display. Want it minced, diced and sliced? No problem, done. A few centre shelves stocked with herbs and spices serve as a quick meal idea and in case a quality butchers knife is required, look no further, they use them why not us. Open 7 days a week so you're never stuck for something to bring to the BBQ.

This little offering sits pretty on Goodwood road and wants to tell you that you're stupid for going anywhere else and spending more than the bargain basement prices they have on offer for breakfast and brunching, most hitting under ten dollars.

Having lunch with some friends I grabbed a large coffee which was hella large, hella yummy and hella quick. They tried the BLT (of which I nicked the cheeky eggs on the side) both simple and delicious whilst the steak snaga with caramelised onions, the special of the day, really dazzled. Really cool venue again heed warning if you're super duper picky as the menu is pretty thin. Best for a bright sunny day, with a coffee and paper on hand.
