    We were driving through the Adelaide Hills and thought we'd try something else for lunch than…read moreHahndorf because it's touristy and overpriced, especially at this time of year. So we had a look in Loebethal and a few other little towns around but just couldn't find anything that looked appealing. Well, luckily we decided to drive the extra 17km to Birdwood because Pomegranate Cottage is a truly lovely place! They have a very cute outside garden, with a fountain and surrounded by lots of trees and flowers so on a sunny day it's probably the best place you can find in Birdwood for lunch. (Mind you the choice isn't that big either) Great setting, friendly service and a good selection of food, ranging from pies to salads, fish to meat and some sandwiches. I had the beef pie for $14, which came with a small salad (no dressing though) and fries. You could tell the pie was homemade and not coming from a freezer. Very tasty and in terms of size I think the dishes are alright for the prices they charge. One thing that bothered me very much though is that the waitress came clearing the plates of the 3 people that were with me while I was still eating. That's an absolute no-go and would be a reason for me not to go back. However, the food was very good so I still recommend the place.

    Tasty coffee. Not sure why it didn't show up in Yelp in a coffee search. Glad we stopped. Looks…read morelike where the locals go for breakfast and coffee. Friendly service and good mochas.

Super friendly. The service has always been good when I've been there, quick, attentive and understanding esp. when there are kids around. The owner/head chef does catering too and although i couldn't be there she catered one of my good friend's weddings this January just gone and by all reports the food was amazing. It's nestled in on the corner of a well designed hills complex next to a newsagents, a great local butcher, a chemist, and a foodland supermarket. Super convenient for the locals. Not to mention it's tucked behind the Balhannah pub and bottle shop so you can always grab a cheeky drop of plonk if you're heading home to unwind after a day out with the younguns! There used to be a great little homewares shop a stone's throw away called Balhannah by Design in the same complex but it has recently moved down the road into a newly established complex next to Mitre10. It's now called Living by Design and is also well worth checking out. Olive Branch. A great way to spend a morning, kids or not!

    So I may be biased as a former employee (about 3 years ago) of The Olive Branch but this place is…read moregreat! Owner and head chef, Nicole is an absolute delight who brings a real passion for food and hills produce to the small town of Balhannah. The menu hasn't changed drastically for about the past four years but there's a good reason for that- it's all delicious and there's something on there for whatever mood you're in! There are also always specials up on the board and I believe the dinner menu does have a little variation from week to week. The other great thing is the all day breakfast because going out for breakfast is one of those great pleasures that we don't always want to wake up early for! My top picks would have to include the club sandwich- a classic, the lamb wrap, the chicken tandoori wrap and the chips. I don't know how but these girls have the ability to make basic food so delicious. Curries, salads and an array of delicious foods feature regularly on the specials boards. There's always a delicious range of cakes and treats in the fridge- all made on site and all of which match fantastically with their amazing hot chocolates (with real chocolate!) The menu features gluten free and child friendly options while there's also a small kids play area inside as well. If you're driving through on a weekend in the hills, I would highly recommend stopping in for a local wine and some tasty treats- there's a delectable tasting plate on the menu- perfect for visitors to the region!

It offers exquisite food and service at cafe prices and the whole experience is amazing. The food here is made with locally grown, seasonal produce to ensure the freshest ingredients every time. This also means that the menu changes seasonally and will surprise you every time you visit. The Scrambled Eggs with Lobster Cream Jelly is a must-order dish! It's a very tasty dish with all the flavors intertwined without being overpowering and with just the right mix. The roasted butternut squash was also great with macadamia nuts and miso mayo. I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but I thought it was delicious. One thing I really like about this place is that they have a beautiful garden. You can go for a walk there after your meal and experience it.

The Topiary is located Newman's Nursery, and is a picturesque setting from what we could see in the dark. Keep an eye out while driving down Northeast Road at night so that you don't miss the driveway as the lighting on that road is pretty dim. Once inside, there is ample parking, and you'll likely be greeted on the way up to the restaurant by a friendly, vocal cat that hangs around. We enjoyed an excellent six course meal, each meal being made from locally sourced or foraged ingredients and paired with a different wine. One of the standouts for me was the sou-vide egg with pork belly and forest mushrooms. At the end, the chef introduced himself and talked about the final dessert item, garnishing it with a sprinkle of carrot seeds from the garden. It was a nice touch, and we were all very appreciative of the hard work and attention to detail that went into the food. This was a really good night! The food was excellent and the staff were welcoming and attentive, but not needy. The building has a real rustic charm to it, and my only regret was that we couldn't go out to see the outdoors as it was dark and freezing. I'm looking forward to coming here for breakfast or lunch some time and see the place during daylight hours.

    If you ever wake up on a day off on a Friday or Saturday morning (8.30-4) and you're feeling…read moreeasy-breezy and you're looking for a cruisy, quaint, casual cafe brekky or tea then I highly recommend the Piccadilly Kitchen (PK). The coffee is good, at a good price and perfect with a cheeky slice of cake if you're so inclined. We indulged in scrambled eggs with kasundi relish (amaaaazing!) And avocado and tomato on homemade buttermilk bread. All tasty and filling too. Its uber-kitchy decor and open kitchen gives PK a unique home-meal type charm with a rustic hills cafe quality. The service is an OK pace, if you're not in a rush...i can't imagine this would be the sort of place you'd stop if you were, but as I said, if you go in feeling loosey-goosey, no fuss, no stress, PK is a definite winner. Glad we finally made it and looking forward to returning to try the rest of the lunch menu.

They have a fairly simple set-up; a small open kitchen and a few tables inside and then a few more tables outside. My first visit was on my brother's wedding day when the three of us bro's went out for breakfast beforehand. The breakfast wasn't huge or elaborate but was well cooked and the coffee was fantastic. I've been back for coffee and cake and the quality is still high. They sell all sorts of jams and spreads made locally in the hills and have a rack of plants out the front for purchase. I also read that they have a barter system there; so when we visited they were asking for lemons and were offering food or coffee in exchange. I like that initiative. If you live in the hills and have driven past on your way to somewhere else and thought "is that place any good?", the answer is yes, so you should pop in and support your local hills cafe. You never know how long these places will stay open if you don't.

Plus many more options for the non-glutards. I had to opt for the meat pie with chips and gravy. Don't know how long it's been since I had a pie! Home made in store, it was full of juicy mince with a crisp tasty pie crust. It's impossible to make gf pie crust taste the same as the gluteny variety, but this is a great approximation and it hit my pie spot and filled me happily. The staff were a father and son team who were hugely welcoming and friendly, making it a lovely place to be. I found out they have been the owners for 2 months now, and while the owner was unsure whether to continue the gf menu, he's had a positive response from people excited to have gf yummies. I do hope he keeps it up! It was a great surprise to find a very gf-friendly cafe in a small place like Gawler. Also must be mentioned - great coffee and excellent prices! Lunch for $7-$13? I'm good with that. But really, great coffee. Not too strong but with a lovely nutty flavour. Goes perfectly with a homemade gf muffin for just $5.90. Big thumbs up from a happy glutard.
