First stop for many visitors to Adelaide is the historic Central Market, which buzzes with life and colour as 80 stallholders gather to trade fresh fruit and vegetables, artisan cheeses, organic meats, flowers and more. Soak up the atmosphere over breakfast at Zuma Cafe and pick up some treats at the Smelly Cheese Shop.
Adelaide is a modern, multicultural city with an exciting fusion of flavours from all over the world. The Barossa Valley's German heritage has left its mark on the city, with a European flair to many of the restaurants and coffee houses. Dress up for afternoon tea at Lenzerheide Restaurant, which is located inside a beautiful old manor house, or head to Felici or The Coffee Barun to get a taste of Adelaide's vibrant café culture. If Asian food is more your thing, the locals swear by Ying Chow for cheap, cheerful, authentic Chinese. This Gouger Street institution serves traditional Guangzhou cuisine like salt-and-pepper squid, and often has queues out the door.
