Thai Ban is a very tasty little Thai cafe and restaurant that provides delivery service on takeout orders.

My family and I have eaten there and ordered takeout from this place a number of times. The venue itself is a low-key dining experience, not a fancy night out, but the quality of the food is consistently good, and we always enjoy it.

The prices are not cheap, but they are reasonable. Located on a busy road it's easy to miss, but certainly worth stopping if you're after a satisfying Thai meal.

We have dropped in to get pizza from these folks twice as a handy meal accompaniment for the DVDs we picked up at the ever-awesome Seacombe Video (yes, there is still a DVD store surviving in the Southern suburbs of Adelaide, so please go there and keep the old-school entertainment dream alive).

The pizzas from "Pizza Pan" are not going to win any beauty contests. They are inevitably oozing with delicious cheese and toppings, so not a choice for finicky eaters who like to keep their fingers pristine or want their food to be insta-pretty. Sorry, but no filter is going to make these babies look like #cleaneating , so grab a lap towel and some napkins and enjoy the beautiful mess to come.

Personally, I loved the stringy mozzarella goodness of my margherita, and my fiancé loved his BBQ chicken, then later his chicken supreme. If you're going to get takeout, you want it to be indulgent, so go ahead - treat yo' self!

The garlic bread isn't served in loaves as is often the case with takeout, but instead comes as big slices. It was a nice accompaniment to the pizza, and the hot chips weren't bad either.

Competitive prices were a bonus, and super friendly staff sealed the deal on a really positive experience.

In conclusion: the winning combination of a great pizza place in the same small block of shops as a DVD store represents everything you need for a brilliant night in, and these guys have the goods. Get on it!

Let me begin by saying that I wish I could give this place a glowing review, as I love staying in the Barossa Valley, and Lyndoch Hill was the go-to accommodation solution for my fiancé and I whenever we wanted an overnight getaway.

The first time we stayed there a couple of years ago, it was quite good. Last year, it was pretty average. This year, it was terrible. I'm not sure if ownership has changed or simply given up on trying, but alas, we must now take what pleasant memories we might salvage from earlier trips, and promise ourselves never to sully them further by staying there again.

Am I being too hash? I'm sorry, but when the soap dispenser falls off the wall as soon as you touch it because it appears to have been attached with double-sided tape or something similar, the management has clearly checked out on the quality issue.

As the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for", so for a cheap and cheerful $145 booking I tried to stay as upbeat about the apparent downgrade as possible, but mystery crust on the bathroom floor aside, a place should simply not be allowed to market itself as a "high-end retreat" when they can't even clean the toilet properly.

As someone with children I have plenty of patience for families with children. I know very well that kids yell and slam doors and are still learning to be considerate of other people, but when you've come for a romantic getaway with your future spouse, and somehow end up sandwiched between two such families in rooms on either side, you quickly discover how paper thin the walls of a place like Lyndoch Hill retreat actually are. There is no mood killer like the sing-song voice of a stranger's child opposite the bedhead while you are trying to get freaky.

One positive worth mentioning is that the gardens surrounding the accommodation are quite lovely. The Lyndoch restaurant I do not include as part of this review - it was actually very good and shouldn't be lumped in with our poor experience.

This is a small Korean cafe/restaurant in a tucked away location just off of Rundle Mall. The menu is not extensive, but contains a good range of popular Korean dishes at reasonable prices.

It's a small, neatly arranged and simply run business. No thrills, just tasty, affordable and authentic Korean dishes. It's a nice alternative to fighting for a seat in one of the nearby food courts and I always enjoy my dolsot bibimbap.

As is often the case, I wish there were more vegetarian options, but nonetheless, I'm satisfied with what I can get.

This is by far my favourite pub bistro to meet friends for a meal, and I'm not going to beat about the bush here. It's because of the SALAD AND VEG BAR.

Do not be fooled by this unassuming, modestly sized bain marie. It contains tasty treasures aplenty! Always kept clean and well filled, this is not the soggy-looking, re-boiled after-thought I have been so disappointed to discover at too many other hotel restaurants.

More than once I have selected the Warradale's salad and veg bar as my main meal, because nothing on the menu tempts me quite so much as the delicious assortment of roasted vegetables, potato bake, salads, and if you're lucky - CURRIED EGGS.

The atmosphere of the place itself is pleasant, with low lighting and a nice, relaxed vibe. It feels a bit more upmarket than many hotel bistros, and the staff are generally quite attentive.

The televisions that play a strange mix of advertising, street art photos and Monty Python snippets is less to my liking and a bit distracting, especially if you have kids along, and the backs of the chairs have an unfortunate shape which invariably leads to bruised elbows by the end of the night, but you'll put up with it for the food.

Prices are probably on the higher end of the scale, so this is not the place to book for cheap eats, but it does provide a pleasant dining experience overall, and I always enjoy myself here. It's fancy enough for a special occasion, but low key enough for a casual meal too.

PS. Whenever my mother is in town she demands I book in for dinner so that she can order the chocolate fountain dessert. Fresh fruit and melted chocolate for dipping - can't argue with that.

This is my regular bakery for a quick and easy hot lunch. As a vegetarian I cannot vouch for their meat pies or sausage rolls, but I do enjoy their vego selection, which compared to the average bakery is impressive - even gourmet!

The vegetarian quiche is my favourite item, with the curry lentil pie a close second. They also do a lovely chickpea pie, and the cheese and spinach rolls are a scrumptious delight if you can forgive yourself the indulgence when contemplating the empty, grease-saturated paper bag afterwards.

Prices are probably pretty standard for bakeries - perhaps a little on the high side, but the food is quality.

My only warning is that this is business best accessed by foot, as parking can be very difficult to get on busy jetty road Brighton.

Approximate cost: $5

My fiancé and I popped in for lunch today after hunting around for a new place to try. So glad we did! Hillbilly's cafe is cute, quirky, run by friendly staff, and the range of food was excellent.

For a vegetarian like me it's a rare and lovely dilemma to have so many tasty sounding options on a menu, and I was more than satisfied with the veggie lasagna and chips I selected from the specials board. My fiancé raved about his chicken turkish so much that I talked him into getting a slice of the berry cheesecake he'd been eyeing off in the cabinet when we ordered.

We left very full, much happier, and with every intention of going there again. I can't wait to try something different next time.
