Top 5 South Australian summer spots to eat at

We have put together a list of our favourite spots to eat at in South Australian over summer.

Think long lunches, fresh seafood, local wines and beach views. What else is summer for, really!

The Little Rickshaw

24 Old Coach Rd, Aldinga
Dominic, Fraud & Disputes Manager

My favourite place in the whole of the South (and that's no mean feat!) is The Little Rickshaw, situated in Aldinga. They serve modern south-east Asian delights supported by an amazing selection of local wines! The Szechuan fish bao’s are RIDICULOUSLY good, the pork belly papaya salad is 'boss' and the desserts, oh my! The 'Feed Me Banquet' for tables of 4+ is a definite winner. Such is the popularity of the place, bookings are essential! And don't worry, vegans…they got you covered too.

Sammy’s on the Marina

1/12 Holdfast Promenade, Glenelg
Kylie, Digital Marketing Specialist

The iconic Sammy’s on the Marina is the perfect place to spend those long summer afternoons. Situated in a peaceful corner of the Holdfast Promenade at Glenelg, Sammy’s is well known for its spectacular views and locally sourced, high quality seafood. Fresh lobsters, Morton Bay Bugs and King George Whiting are always on offer. So if you’re a seafood lover, then a visit to Sammy’s is a must this summer.

After all the Christmas indulging, Nutrition Republic is the perfect place to kick off those healthy new year resolutions.
