dark-wood wine wall, sassy Mesa Lunga

serves tapas and quality pizzas. Order some

gamba (black-salted prawn and chorizo in

pastry) and anchovies stuffed with Manza-

nillo olives, washed down with some spark-

Jasmin for bragging rights as Adelaide’s best

Indian restaurant, the Village (all smooth

service, nice knives and balloon-like wine

glasses) offers some unusual subcontinen-

tal offerings. Try the Kashmiri Goat Yakhni

Gouger St location.

paper tablecloths so you can get messy.

Ying ̈Chow ̈ CHINESE$$

(Map p718; 114 GougerSt; mains$11-17;hnoon-

2�45pm Fri,  5pm-12�45am daily) This fluoro-

lit, bossy-staffed eatery is a culinary gem,

serving cuisine styled from the Guangzhou

region, such as ‘BBC’ (bean curd, broad

beans and Chinese chutney) and steamed

duck with salty sauce. It gets packed − with

queues out the door (no bookings) − but it’s

worth the wait.
