Simply the best breakfast choice in Adelaide, Big Table has been at the Central Market for over 20 years, and regulars know to get there early for a chance at one of the few tables. Sitting at the counter isn't too bad an option either, especially when you have treats like fresh banana bread with rhubarb conserve and ricotta to look forward to.

Lovers of Australian wine should not miss a meal at this intimate pavilion-style vineyard restaurant set in the country's most famous winery. Though only 15 minutes from the city it's high enough to afford views over the vineyards and the city skyline toward the coast, and the seasonal, Modern Australian cuisine is just as special. For a truly memorable experience, the Icon and Luxury wine pairing presents a chance to try some of Penfolds' (and Australia's) most sought-after wines.

If you’ve ever turned your nose up at Asian fusion, you may reconsider when you come to Shobosho, with its use of organic local ingredients and Korean and Japanese influences in the cooking. Everything about the space, from the approach to service to the immensely creative dishes---often cooked over coals---to the plateware and the atmosphere itself, strikes a balance between sophisticated and relaxed that is difficult to find in Adelaide.

It takes two elevators to get to this rooftop venue, but it’s worth it for elegant Modern Australian dishes that make the most of highly seasonal produce—many local producers are name-checked on the menu. After dinner, retire to the adjacent bar overlooking the governor-general’s house (and most of North Adelaide) for a nightcap.

This is one of the city's most original places both in terms of interior design (including a vibrant Technicolor bar and dining space) and the Modern Australian menu, featuring South African--inspired and somewhat kitschy dishes with robust flavors such as the spicy, smoked peri peri chicken and crispy chicken skin "tea sandwich." The wine list is brief but well curated and leans toward natural numbers; alternatively you can bring your own for A$20.

You wouldn’t know it from first glance, but this restaurant is part of a multipurpose art space and there’s plenty of creativity on the fine dining menu designed by South African chef Brendan Wessels.

Owned by a French expat and his Australian wife, Hey Jupiter is in all aspects a Parisian brasserie transported to Adelaide---wicker seats, oyster happy hours, and all---but with better service and a wine list that goes far beyond average. Located on a quiet street near plenty of other shops and bars in Adelaide's bustling East End, Hey Jupiter is a great place to stop for weekend breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as well as a nice place to simply grab a drink after a long afternoon of shopping on Rundle Street.

There's a relaxed, nautical air at this mainstay—which perfectly suits the location on the south bank of the River Torrens. Sliding glass doors open onto a full-width front balcony for alfresco dining. The imaginative modern Australian menu, offered in both à la carte and tasting menu forms, changes seasonally, but continues the theme with seafood selections that might include seared Murray cod with Goolwa pipis (cockles), fermented chili and sea urchin butter. The lunch crowd is largely corporate in nature while warm evenings attract couples.

A restaurant masquerading as a natural wine bar, this former dry cleaner takes its design cues from trendy Parisian bistros. Come for predinner drinks—the walls are lined with 500 bottles of mostly natural wine and the knowledgeable staff are happy to point you in the right direction—then stay for the sophisticated share plates. Meats are cured and fresh pasta made in the small kitchen and the fresh, elegantly plated dishes really pop with the accompanying wines.

This bustling pan-Asian food hall is a beef-with-black-bean-sauce–free zone. Instead, stalls including Mum's Kimbap and Li's Mouth Magic produce such dishes as salty fish and chicken fried rice, special hot pot, and pho gà (Vietnamese chicken-noodle soup with fresh mint and coriander). Shoppers and tourists crowd the fake-marble tables next door to the Central Market, yet you never have to wait more than a few minutes for a delicious, cheap meal.

It may look like your run-of-the-mill fish-and-chips shop, but this Gouger Street veteran of more than 60 years is the place to get hooked on King George whiting, Australia's fabulous oysters—natural or with various preparations—or salt-and-pepper squid (an iconic Australian dish). It's been hailed as one of Adelaide's best—and best-priced—seafood restaurants. For a great view of the bustle in the open kitchen, request a table upstairs on the ship's-deck-like mezzanine floor.

A sweeping view of Adelaide is the backdrop for contemporary workings of traditional bush meats such as kangaroo, emu, and wild boar, plus herbs, and fruits at this "floating" riverfront restaurant.
