About the restaurant

Andrew Papadakis moved to Australia in 2012 with the vision of sharing an authentic piece of Greece through the culture of food and family.

At Meze-Mazi, we’re all about authenticity. Our food is derived from old family recipes and our native Greek chefs craft each dish with the same love and passion that they do for their own families.

Prospect

About the restaurant

Cafe Komodo in Prospect is garnering attention for all the right reasons with its delicious food, vibrant drinks, welcoming atmosphere and mystery location. One of Adelaide’s best kept secrets, you’ll find this modern cafe hidden down a laneway off Prospect Road. The cosy dining room and sunlit courtway are perfect places to relax with mates or family over craft beer, refreshing cocktails, hot coffee or an indulgent meal. The menu includes Australian cafe favourites that are wholesome, creative and packed full of flavour. We recommend picking off the specials board or ordering a Komodo original dish. Always bustling and full of Prospect locals, Cafe Komodo is popular so make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

Retro diner with an all day breakfast menu with lunch and dinner choices. Fairly much a classic menu with alternative and vegan options. Great burger and fries, decent drink beer and wine options

Rosemont Hall

Prospect

About the restaurant

Set in a beautiful Art Deco building in the thriving heart of Prospect, Rosemont Hall is the perfect spot for friendly lunches, fun times and casual get togethers.

Outside, come for a fresh juice and a healthy Asian salad, while the kids play in the plush laneway and garden. Then stay for dinner in our beautiful restaurant and get transported to 1920’s Hong Kong.

When it comes to food, there is plenty to choose from- whether it’s a meat platter from Mr Chan or a selection of delicious snacks with a wine in hand. We are all about keeping it casual, but also offer table service for dinner in the main “hall”. Think local seafood, roasted meats, dim sum and stir-fry’s straight from the wok.

Don’t miss this suburban dining destination and home away from home in Adelaide’s beautiful inner-north.

There were 10 of us for a work dinner and selected the feed me menu at Rosemont Hall. There was plenty and variety of food while catering to dietary requirements (vegan, peanut/sesame oil etc), so much that we had leftovers that we all enjoyed the next day. Great venue and highly recommended.

Very quiet Saturday night at Boatshed. We had 3 small plates. Arancini (best ever) duck spring rolls (good), Moroccan meat balls (very good). Attentative service. Not cheap at $78 including 2glasses of sav blanc. But very enjoyable.

Yes a lovely dining spot with Ocean views, Service was excellent, Food was a great selection and Lunch we had a Chef’s Fish Platter (for 2) delicious and enough for the two of us. Value was on the mark and would attend again. The noise level can be something to handle when many diners are in for special occasions. Overall it was a great dining venue.
