Hallam’s Restaurant Launceston Tasmania

New owners. Expensive modifications. New chef x Sydney with excellent credentials, my wife’s 80th birthday,  making a choice of where to dine out. Having  reviewed top class restaurants around the world for a number of years, we recently moved to Launceston (retired) finally decided to have dinner at Hallams Waterfront Restaurant. First, what an excellent choice we made. The service was very professional, faultless. The menu was well thought through, offering a good range of appetising dishes. The preparation of our meals was as good as any where we have dined. On leaving with a genuine satisfied feeling of a wonderful dining experience, we shall return and pass the word on to our friends and associates, that Hallams Restaurant is just the ticket.

What a wonderful surprise on visiting this Cafe. Inside small but comfortable, outside lots of area with different table options. The food was scrumptious, due to the fact it is prepared in their kitchen. The coffee is up there with the best, the service was excellent, with papers to read. On arrival just looking at the building, did not expect such a nice experience.

Jimmies Pizza restaurant Crafers South Australia

A Consistent Winner of, S.A Best Pizza Restaurant in Adelaide.

Located  on the Main St, Crafers, Adelaide Hills, just before the Crafers Hotel. Jimmies would have to have one of the best seafood pizza’s that we have visited to review. On arrival you are seated in a warm comfortable  dining area. The menu gives you a number of good dining alternatives. From at least a dozen Wood fired oven Pizza’s, a farm table option, to a children’s menu. 

Three of us chose the starters, from the menu, followed by their standout Seafood Pizza, topped with oysters in the shell, loaded with prawns. Their Pizza's would have to be the tastiest, most delightful, thin crusted, perfectly prepared, we have tasted, which keeps us frequently returning.

We finished with home made ice cream loaded with nuts and topped with toffee, mouth watering. Can well understand this restaurant being awarded winner 2013 & 2015 & possible 2018, for best pizza restaurant. We appreciated the BYO option, there is a corkage fee, but that is quite understandable. Outside you will find a large private purpose built alfresco area, Well worth a return visit in the summer. The service could not be faulted, understandably this is a very busy popular restaurant in the Adelaide Hills. Reservations recommended.

The D’Arenberg Cube Osborne Rd McLaren Vale S.A.

The D’Arenberg Cube situated in the McLaren Vale wine area, is absolutely so different, it confronts your sensors on several levels. The architecture is different, yet compelling. Walking through inside is well worth the effort with a $10 admission fee, but this includes some excellent wines to sample/taste. We enjoyed a very nice dinner in their well appointed restaurant. (Reservations essential)The service was excellent, even though there were a large number of visitors viewing. A major tourist attraction for South Australia.
