A small cafe, right next door to the Mitre 10 store, in the main street of Victor Harbor.
Several tables inside, and a couple on the footpath outside. Quite busy on a Sunday afternoon. Not a lot of room, an 'intimate' little cafe. The coffee was nice, average price, friendly service and a nice range of cakes on display in the cabinet, but we did not try these.

A nice little lolly shop, with lots of variety of sweets and chocolates from Europe, UK, US, etc. plus locally made sweets packaged in Nutcracker Sweet packaging.
They also have an interesting range ogf small gift packs and other gift items.
Small shop located in the main street of Victor Harbor.

We called in here for takeaway. This cafe has a beautiful outlook out over Encounter Bay, from Granite Island around to The Bluff. Quite stunning location.
This is an interesting place, plenty of eat-in tables, lots of memorabilia and photos spread around the walls, and more interesting items toward the back in the bar area.
We decided to try Pa's Famous Fish Platter, even though we thought it was rather expensive for takeaway at $18 per serve. Turned out to be a large meal, probably almost feed 2. Included a large piece of butterfish, 2 squid rings, 2 prawns, crabstick, chips, salad, tartare sauce and a piece of lemon (with no juice, unfortunately).
Well cooked and quite nice, chips good, batter OK
Other various fish and chicken packs available on the menu, at about average prices, plus hamburgers and hot dogs etc.

We ate here last Sunday night (of the long weekend), with a group of 8 people.
We only booked about an hour before arriving, but were happily accomodated. There were only 8 or 10 other diners in the restaurant, but there was a constant stream of customers calling for takeaway.
We chose to have the full $30 per head banquet. There were several other options, starting from about $20, and a couple more around $25 per person. Individual mains were priced mostly around $11.60 to $13.80 per serve.
Our banquet started with Prawn Crackers, King Prawn Cutlets and Spring Rolls. We were almost all unanimous on agreeing that the spring rolls were the best we had ever tasted!
Following this was a choice of either Chicken Sweetcorn Soup or Crabmeat Sweetcorn soup, thick, full of flavour and very tasty (again a unanimous hit!)
This was followed by a quick succession of mains (two large plates per course, which was very adequate for 8 people), including Garlic Prawns, Lemon Chicken, Honey Chicken, a couple of beef dishes, and more plus heaps of nice fried rice.
Meal was finished simply with a nut sundae, simple, but a nice, refreshing finish to the meal.
Service was prompt and friendly, and two and a half hours of good food and chatter passed very quickly.
The restaurant is a fairly typical Chinese Restaurant, with the usual Chinese prints on brick walls, but it was quite spacious and our round table accomodated 8 adults comfortably, with plenty of room to move chairs in and out without colliding with other diners.
We were all very happy with our meal, agreeing that this Restaurant was a very pleasant place to dine, and will happily return in the future.

Approximate cost: $most between $11.60 to $13.80

We contacted Rob for a new rainwater tank, to be supplied and installed on our property.
They are agents for Maxiplas brand tanks, made locally in South Australia, and they sell them for the same price as buying direct from the company, including their special prices, and delivery.
The tank was delivered, lifted into position over a fence, and plumbed in as requested to our home gutters, overflow out of the property and connection to another tank.
This was all done promptly, and we were very happy with the service and overall cost for our 10,000 litre tank, installation and pipes.
They also do other garden work, including excavation etc.
We found it well worthwhile using this local business.

Approximate cost: $1,695

It appears that this business has closed down, as the doors were locked and the tables stacked up when I called here recently. Don't know if they have moved elsewhere, or gone out of business completely.

This community club is situated beside the riverbank of the Murray River in Renmark, in the Riverland of SA. (on the highway between Mildura and Adelaide).
I recently took a group of people here for lunch while on a bus trip.
The service was excellent, very friendly staff. The dining room is spacious, with large glass windows, giving a fantastic view out over the river.
The lunch menu was very good, offering meals at a very economical price, up to fancier, more expensive selections.
Fish, chips and salad for $10, was still a good meal, value for pensioners etc. I had Malaysian Chicken at $14, a large serving, very nice and several others at the table commented on how nice it looked (and smelt) as well. Another friend had garlic prawns for $23 and he also enjoyed this meal very much.
The roast of the day was had by several others, with one 83 year-old gentleman in our party commenting that it was one of the best roasts he had ever had. (high praise, I would think!)
Our meals also came with a $2 pokie voucher, which you could also use toward a drink purchase, if you didn't want to play the pokies.
The salad bar, included in all the meals, had a very nice selection of fresh and tasty salads to choose from.
There is renovation work going on at the Club at the moment, but this did not affect our meal or comfort, it was still very clean and tidy, well maintained and a pleasant atmosphere.
All in our group are looking forward to returning to the Club again on our next trip there in a couple of months time.

Approximate cost: $10 to $32.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a 2-storey house, but enter through the entrance on Lincoln Road, just off Adelaide Road and across from Nicks Fish Market, and you will find a nice, clean eat-in and takeaway cafe.
There is plenty of seating to eat in, with 5 or 6 tables with seating for 6 or 8 people per table.
And the menu is quite diverse, from various hotdogs to pasta dishes, burgers and fish. They also make focaccias, yiros, rolls and toasted sandwiches.
There is a well stocked drink frig as well, and they will make milkshakes and thickshakes as well.
I had a toasted chicken fillet burger with the lot. It was delicious with a tasty, succulent chicken fillet and heaps of lettuce, egg, bacon, cheese, tomato, onion for $8.50. Very good value, I'm a big eater and it was plenty for me.
The lady who served me was very bright and friendly and I felt like my business was appreciated. Service was quick, and the premises are neat and clean.
Nice spot to buy lunch, will definitely call in again.

Went here recently for a family birthday meal. Very nice atmosphere, with pleasant views overlooking the River Murray and lawns of the Sturt Reserve. The restaurant has an inviting feel and the staff and manageress are extremely polite and welcoming.
Our meals were nice, everybody was happy with what they ordered and we had a lovely evening.

Approximate cost: $20 to $35.

We had heard about this cafe many times over the years, and of course, the Vilis name is an SA icon, but we had never ventured off of South Road to give it a go before.
That is, until recently, after we had been to a 'show' in the city. Feeling a bit peckish, too early to head home (even though we are 'oldies', or 'the olds', as our kids call us!). Where do you go after midnight, that isnt a nightclub or youngies pub? Lets try that Vilis cafe, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Well, it was packed (with lots of young people, as well, by the way!). And the pastries are just what we were looking for as a late-night 'naughty' treat. Of course, we could have had a healthy sandwich or roll, but not this time, thanks!
Really nice spot, vibrant, with fresh food (how much fresher could it be when its next door to the bakery?).
Can't believe we hadn't tried it before, but will certainly return (and sorry to our young neice, who was surprised, maybe horrified, to see her country aunt and uncle walk into the Vilis Cafe while she was 'out on the town' with her friends).
