Re-ignite your love of Indian cooking with street food, curries and more at this suburban newcomer.

Best Regional Restaurant

Restaurant of the Year in 2013, Hentley Farm captivated us again. If anything, its connection to the surrounding region is more focused than ever.

Jarmer’s Kitchen

The welcoming, practical kind of eating place that every neighbourhood would covet from one of our best-known restaurant names.

Best Hotel Dining

Daniel O’Connell

The nose-to-tail cooking of Phil Whitmarsh goes from strength to strength but you’ll also love what he does with vegies. Check out the SA-only wine list.

Best lunch in the CBD

Great bread, top coffee, a small selection of fast, innovative dishes. What more could you want in a cafe?

Best Service

Jo Reschke (d’Arry’s Verandah)

The diminutive Jo’s combines genuine sweetness with a steely determination that ensures husband Peter’s food is delivered at its best.
