FermentAsian

$$ Fodor's Choice

Whether it's for lunch (more casual) or dinner, the creative modern Southeast Asian cuisine works wonderfully with local and European wines alike, and the selection here is among the best in the region, if not the state. Vietnamese owner chef Tuoi Do incorporates local ingredients into a menu that speaks of her heritage; a tasting menu is available.

This rustic and whimsical restaurant in a restored villa makes exemplary use of the Barossa's distinctive regional produce in a seasonal Mod Oz menu flavored with tastes from Asia and the Middle East. Local olive oil and seasonal fruits and vegetables influence dishes, and the Barossa-centric wine list includes rare classics and newcomers.

Apex Bakery

$

The wood-fired oven at this popular spot has been running continuously since it was first established in 1924, and the fourth-generation owners still use many of the same recipes with slow-fermenting dough that were in vogue then. Bread and sweet and savory pastries start coming out early each morning, and locals are split as to whether the hearty meat pies or the custard-and-cream-filled bienenstich is the better hangover cure.

Die Barossa Wurst Haus & Bakery

For a hearty German lunch at a reasonable price, no place in Tanunda beats this small, friendly café and shop. The wurst is fresh from local butchers, the sauerkraut is direct from Germany, and the potato salad is made on-site from a secret recipe.
