Adelaide

Eating & Drinking

Eating out in Adelaide is outstanding with a huge range of affordable options and a couple of streets full of restaurants, pubs and cafés. Adelaide even has its own budget-priced culinary speciality – the pie floater.

You can't leave Adelaide without trying this delicious meat pie floating in pea soup and topped with tomato sauce. It tastes much better than it sounds! You can try a pie floater from the pie carts located either outside the train station on North Terrace or outside the post office near the corner of Franklin and King William Streets. This is a good option for a late-night feed, generally pie carts open from the afternoon through to the wee hours of the morning.

In the city centre, Gouger Street, Hutt Street and Rundle Street are the main restaurant strips with a good selection of fast food and take away places squeezed among the more upmarket restaurants. Melbourne Street in North Adelaide is another good street for eating out. If you're in Glenelg, then Jetty Road is the local restaurant strip.

If you're preparing your own food, the Coles supermarket on Grote Street near Victoria Square and the Woolworths in Rundle Mall are your best options in the city centre.
