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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

To me, it's a sure sign there's a good feed to be had inside. If you're in the mood for a Balfours Pie or Sausage Roll, a Cherry Ripe or a Vanilla Slice then this is the place for you. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and they know and remember their regular customes. You can grab a seat at one of the tables and chairs inside or eat your meal on the run. They also serve the normal snack bar fare like milkshakes and icecreams or you can grab a custard tart or a newspaper. Look for the vine covered verandah on the left hand side of King William Road as you head towards the city. They're a bit further along than the rest of the shops so its usually much easier to grab a park here.

Given my kids go to Rose Park, I'm really happy that there's a high quality offering from somewhere that believes in giving decent value lunches with healthier options, too. I've eaten here several times - the grown up menu is every bit as good as the menu my kids love choosing from. There's a range of daily specialities, I particularly remember a delicious pastry roll with a malaysian inspired filling - if I see it again I'll be grabbing another. Lots of good food here, check it out.

Well the days of the local deli seem to have almost passed us by and they're at risk of falling into the category of the dying breed. I do however have a local deli around the corner from me and I go out of my way to support them. These small business owners have been swallowed up over the years by the big supermarket chains and the one stop petrol servos like On The Run. My local deli on Fullarton Road is still full of character. It has a personality and there's nothing chain store or big about it. It's quaint. It's privately owned and it's local. Let's all make an effort to support our local deli owners - when we can find them of course because sadly there's not too many left.
