Best Restaurants in Adelaide

Adelaide has earned a reputation as Australia's food and wine capital — a claim its residents make with genuine justification. The city sits at the centre of some of Australia's most celebrated wine regions (Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Eden Valley), has direct access to exceptional seafood from Spencer Gulf and the Southern Ocean, and has invested decades in building a food culture of genuine ambition and quality.

The Central Market is one of Australia's great food market institutions — a permanent indoor market of extraordinary variety and quality that has been the heart of Adelaide's food culture since 1869. Rundle Street and Hutt Street are the primary restaurant strips. The East End and the revitalising Bowden precinct have newer, more creative dining offerings. Several of Adelaide's restaurants have earned national recognition, and the city's wine list depth — at every price point — makes it one of Australia's best cities for wine-focused dining.
