    Waffles with butterscotch and maple syrup, ice cream and cream
    Alicia N.

    A quirky little Adelaide institution, The Elephant Walk has been on my 'to visit' list for some time. I finally managed to get into this cute little joint and although the desserts that we ordered were indeed delicious, I was a little disappointed that there wasn't a huge amount of range. We're very spoiled for choice when it comes to dessert bars in Adelaide, which means that inevitably standards are high. I think that Elephant Walk may need to add a bit of variety to their menu in order to compete with some of the others around. In regards to service though, they could not be any better - our waitress was so incredibly friendly and attentive - but also good enough to know when we needed to just chill out and be left to our own. The decor is certainly unique - but very comforting too! Pop in if you're after some old fashioned goodness and friendly service - and just so that you can say you've been because I've been told that it's compulsory in order to be a 'real' Adelaideian!

    After hearing so much about The Elephant Walk, I finally got a chance to go. Much like Spats, the Elephant Walk is a cosy dessert bar with secluded seating within an extremely dark setting. I found the seating a little awkward to be honest, and my eyes kept drifting parallel, where a couple kept making out. Not exactly a pleasant sight. With somewhat of a jungle theme, the best thing to do at the Elephant Walk (aside from eat) is to snuggle with your significant other or watch others snuggle with their significant other. Having said that, there is absolutely nothing wrong coming here with friends. Again like Spats, the food is nice, however not quite as good. I feel as though I need to visit the Elephant Walk more times to confirm my opinion on the grub. Definitely a fun setting and I love places like this, which are dark, mysterious and romantic.

    Awesome place for late night munchies. The setting is a little weird and dark but the food is awesome you must try the waffles.

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.

It's a very narrow road, made more narrow by the fact that cars are parked along it pretty much the whole way on both sides. So once I finally worked out where this place was, I was really very desperate for a milkshake and a break. OMFG. What a great place! The menu, while not huge, is packed full of extremely appetizing foods and drinks. The chocolate milkshake I had might well be the best I ever experience. It's hard to describe how good it is. I did get a couple of the handmade chocolates to try, and like the milkshake, they were delicious. Service here is excellent. Really friendly. The shop itself is a converted house, and it's beautiful. It really is. It's surprisingly large. If you look at it from the street, you'll have no idea how many people can fit into this palace of chocolatey pleasure. I'm another who would give this place ten stars. Or more.

Obviously as the name suggests the main offering is waffles, but they also have crepes on the menu with a range of toppings for both. Most of them are sweet toppings but there are couple of savoury offerings. I had the Belgian Sugar waffle with belgian syrup and ice cream and it was delicious!! The waffle was fresh and warm with a sauce that, to me, tasted like christmas - kind of cinnamony, spicy, with a warmth to it if that explains it! Either way it was a damn good waffle!!! The shop is on the small side, you cam watch them make waffles from pretty much any seat and it smells great!! They is seating available indoor and some outdoor at the back! All nicely decorated. I would have given this an extra star but i do think its quite pricey for waffles/crepes which average $15 a serve. Drinks on top of that and soon mounts up! I will be back to taste some other toppings soon though..... maybe that will make me forget about the price!

It just recently opened and specialises in waffles and crepes. As I had hardly eaten that day, I was starving and didn't want anything sweet. But as my friends were keen on trying it out (we had heard about it from another friend) I went with the flow. Luckily, they have two savoury flavoured crepes. One is smoked salmon, the other bacon and egg with tomato. I had the latter - it was pretty good, the bacon was cooked differently. Not as crispy as I usually have it but still good. The waffles, on the other hand - uh-may-zing! The cinnamon waffle by itself? I reckon I could have it for breakfast every morning. My friend had the Belgian waffle with mango and dark chocolate drizzled all over it. It was the best thing I'd eaten in a while. The interior is cute and cosy, with Alice in Wonderland-like artwork on the back wall.

The menu is large and interesting enough with not too many "generic" options except the ones you want such as Chocolate Fondu for 2 or 4. I had a Banana, Peanut Butter, Cookies, Vanilla Custard, Creamy concoction in a jar which was topped with icecream very very delish and beautifully presented. My companions had waffles, ice-cream and a yummy chocolate and berry mousse/pudding. All were very pleased with their orders and there was a lot of "would you mind if I had a fork full?" going on. Coffee and desserts came out all together and our table was cleared in an appropriate amount of time after we had finished our plates. Being a group of 6 is probably a little too large for the small outdoor space on the sidewalk with round tables and various chair heights, but we made it work.

Luckily, a table had just left, with a quick clean of the table - we were seated. Decor - Candles! I love candlelit places at night, the chairs were also quite comfy, some places which have the same modern/sleek vibe to it like this place, have uncomfortable plastic or metal chairs, but we were seated in comfortable cushy bliss for your butt! We ordered - I had the Cherry Ripe Waffle and one of their 'house specialities' the St Louis Hot Chocolate' Waffles: I have to admit I was disappointed in the waffle, this is what pushed it down to 3 stars rather than 4. The waffle was warm, but it tasted like it had been reheated, or simply defrosted and stuck in a microwave. It wasn't crunchy or fresh, the texture was chewy and dry. I chose this dish because it mentioned white chocolate and almonds, it was presented on the plate, but the white chocolate tasted like melted white chocolate buttons from the local supermarket, too sugary and it hard almost hardened when I tried to scoop it up to put on my waffle. The 'French Vanilla Ice Cream' tasted distinctively like Bulla Vanilla ice cream. The cherries, and cherry glaze were delicious though. The Hot chocolate: Average more or less, it was a good hot chocolate, but I've had better in most other places, for a house special, again I was hoping for a bit more, but I might be a little harsh here, as my friend said he absolutely loved it. I'd order it again if I came here, and that is usually a good sign. They had free water available for patrons, in the water was such things as citrus; oranges, lemons, lychee, and strawberry, I thought that was a little fancy. It was a nice touch to the place. If I came here again, I'd avoid the waffles completely, as they were sub-par. But the venue is a nice place, with a positive atmosphere. Why no white hot chocolate? This makes me sad.

The service was cheerful and snappy and the passing life in Ebenezer Place was lively, lots of people seeming to know each other. There was a lot of meeting and greeting around the tiny restaurant entrance. Waiters politely dodged the impediments. Our snails came with proper escargot tongs in the most exquisite garlic and herb butter. The toasty French bread was a bit too crisp to soak up the butter but it was just as well. My friend had Croque Monsieur which was rich and wicked, bechamel sauce and cheese and a fried egg on top . He simply wolfed it down. My boned and butterflied trout with green beans took longer to eat and every morsel was a joy. The trout was nicely charcoal-seared on the skin side and very lightly cooked on top. The tastes and textures sang together in a light buttery sauce from the beans which were not too firm but just right. It was best trout I have ever had and I am still purring with pleasure.
