Adelaide, the home of eating out, has more restaurants per person than any other city in Australia. A nation abundant with good food and the pleasures of al fresco dining. The city’s cultural mix — from Thai to Italian to Indian and Lebanese — offers a bewildering array of cuisines for you to enjoy, all complemented by the incredible range of fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meats available in South Australia.

Penfolds Magill Estate Restaurant

Situated on the Magill Estate with panoramic views over the vineyards and the city beyond, this 5-star restaurant offers modern Australian cuisine and one of the most impressive restaurant cellars in the world. The estate itself, which in total houses four different dining and drinking locations, overlooks more than five hectares of Shiraz vines, which are among the most celebrated in the whole world, and they also contributed to the first vintages of Grange in the 1950s.

The Greek on Halifax

Reinvented into The Greek on Halifax, you have come to one of the best Greek restaurants in Australia, easily spotted due to a huge chimney right behind. For starters, try the pickled octopus, kefthedes (spicy meatballs) or haloumi cheese with roasted cherry tomatoes, followed by the saganaki prawns or crispy whitebait. Again, you might have a hard time to choose.

Sosta Argentinian Kitchen

Sosta is a temple for the faithful to eat spectacular steaks, chorizo, quail, rump, chicken, and veal ribs. Try the 'Parrillada de Carne' for two, a platter with grilled meat, and you won’t be disappointed. While carnivores will feel right at home at Sosta’s, vegetarians, however, may want to steer clear.
