Yesterday I visited this place for lunch and walked out quite satisfied. My partner and I often try to eat vegetarian and this place provided loads of options in that department. For the meat eaters it also allowed you to pick what meats you put in what dishes. The food itself was very good and the place is great value. The service was as expected.

Approximate cost: $10-20

This review is for Kathmandu, Adelaide SA

I had one of the best shopping experiences recently visiting Kathmandu. They currently have quite a good sale on with most things 30-60% off so I thought I would visit. My girlfriend and I are heading over to Europe in two months and we needed to buy packs along with some clothes. Their service was fantastic. We picked out two bags which were 40% off - already a very good deal. But because we also bought some clothes they gave us an additional 10% off which saved us $100!!! It is not something they had to do but the guy we were dealing with was fantastic and helped us out a great deal. I will definitely return and can not speak more highly of the place, a great organisation to shop!

When I first started buying organic food this place was a reasonable supermarket to visit. However over time I have found it has deteriorated significantly. It does provide a wide range of health products, although many of the products are not organic. Last summer I found that the fresh produce was not of great quality - either the cooling fridge was not working correctly or the produce was not purchased very fresh. The most disappointing thing though is the price of products - things have gone up significantly. There are a large number of products - especially dairy and fresh where I can buy the exact same produce for 25%+ cheaper at other outlets. This tells me the consumers are being ripped off. I have ceased to shop at this supermarket due to the above reasons.

This review is for The Elephant British Pub, Adelaide SA

I quite often visit this place for an after work drink, or occasionally for a lunch time meal. The place itself is not fantastic, a little run down - however in some ways this adds a little character. The people behind the bar are very friendly and the price of drinks is quite good. The lunch menu is great as it provides a large range of options for quite a cheap price $10. Despite the cheap price the quality is good for a pub. The serving size isn't massive, but I don't mind that as it is the lunch menu, not the main menu.

Approximate cost: $10 - lunch menu

This review is for Bombay Bicycle Club, Ovingham SA

This pub has a lot of character and is quite unique with a part Indian part British theme to it. It provides for a relaxing surrounding and a good place to have a few beers while watching some sport. The great thing this pub provides is the variety of beers, over 100 different types!! There is a 100 club set up if you fancy trying a lot of them! The only negative is some of these beers are very expensive, and in my opinion marked up far more than they need to be. In saying that this is one pub I do like to visit from time to time for a few beers.

This review is for Capri Theatre, Goodwood SA

This theatre is really about the experience. The building is heritage listed and owned by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia. I love the atmosphere which is driven by a traditional feel and old-style elegance. Adding to this is the world class organ which is played before some movies. This means you can arrive early, take a seat, relax and listen to the organ before the movie starts - it really is a nice experience. The only downside is the quality of the screen isn't fantastic, but overall it doesn't really matter as they experience is a fantastic one!

I simply had to put this place in for their chips! I know, sounds a little odd hey ... They make the best chips which are always cooked well and have a herbed salt sprinkled over them. It's this herbed salt which just makes the chips taste brilliant! So do yourself a favour, drop in on a nice summers evening, grab some chips head to the beach and watch the sun set over the water.

I love visiting this cafe. Please note that this review is of the cafe and not the adjoining organic shop.
The food is beautifully cooked/made and there are always new things to try. I like the fact that each time I go there I can try something new if I feel like it. It is great to know that I'm eating organic produce as well. Their options change quite often as they move with the seasons. The layout of the cafe is very friendly and the staff are always courteous. The value is not fantastic when compared to some cafes, but very good for organic produce. This is a really enjoyable cafe to relax and catch up with friends or have a meal with your partner.

This review is for Joy Discovery Vegetarian Cafe, Adelaide SA

This little vegetarian cafe is tucked away just off of rundle st. I find it is quite a relaxing place to visit for lunch during a busy day. The quality of the food is fantastic and I must recommend the Curry, Rice and Dhal (C.R.D) - a very wholesome dish which is sure to leave you satisfied. The only thing which may put some people off is the cafe is owned and operated by "students of spiritual master, Sri Chinmoy". Do not let this deter you too much as it is not put across to the customers and they are still friendly - the philosophy is simply based on love and serving humanity.
Enjoy the food!

I really enjoy shopping at this store because they provide a large range of outdoor clothing, equipment and footwear. The staff are very attentive without making you feel like you're being smothered. One great thing about shopping here is if you join up as a store member (which is free), you get 10% off all purchases, so you will never pay retail price! It has a good range of items from basic clothing all the way to snow jackets. My favourite place to shop for outdoor clothing.
