58 East End
oGalaxy ̈Lartay ̈ CAFE$
(Map p718; 31 East Tce; mains$7-15;hnoon-4pm
Tue-Sun;v) In a lovely old red-brick East
End shopfront, our new favourite Adelaide
cafe keeps sketchy opening hours – but
don’t let that stop you from wandering by to
see if they’re open. The vibe is arty, hippie,
retro and communal: expect big servings of
tarts, quiches, curries and pies, plus creative
juices, lassis and solid coffee. And you can
get a beer here too!

Zen ̈Kitchen ̈ VIETNAMESE$
(Map  p718;  www �zenkitchen�com �au;  Unit  7,  Ten-
ancy 2, RenaissanceArc; mains$6-14;h11am-4pm
Mon-Thu,to 8pm Fri, to 3pm Sat) Superb, freshly
constructed cold rolls, pho soups and super-
crunchy barbecue pork bread rolls, eat-in
or take away. Wash it all down with a cold
coconut milk or a teeth-grindingly strong
Vietnamese coffee with sugary condensed
milk. Authentic, affordable and absolutely
delicious.

Jasmin ̈Indian ̈Restaurant ̈ INDIAN$$
(Map  p718; %08-8223 7837;  www �jasmin�com �
au;  31  Hindmarsh Sq,  basement; mains $26-29;
hnoon-2�30pmThu &Fri, 5�30-9pmTue-Sat) Mag-
ical North Indian curries and consummately
professional staff (they might remember
your name from when you ate here in 2006).
There’s nothing too surprising about the

menu, but it’s done to absolute perfection.
Bookings essential.

Botanic ̈Café ̈ ITALIAN$$
(Map  p718; %08-8232 0626; www �botanic-
ristorante�com; 4East Tce; mains$25-40;hnoon-
3pm  Tue-Fri, 6pm-late Thu-Sat) Order from a
seasonal menu of quality SA produce in this
linen-crisp, modern Italian eatery opposite
the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Offerings
might include goats-cheese tartlets with
pear chutney, or pappardelle with braised
lamb shank and thyme ragu. The tasting
menu (two courses and a glass of wine for
$25) is a steal. Great bar next door, too.

Amalfi ̈Pizzeria ̈Ristorante ̈ ITALIAN$$
(Map p718; %08-82231948; 29 FromeSt; mains
$16-26;hnoon-2�30pm Mon-Fri, 6-9pm Mon-
Sat) What a classic! Authentic pizza and
pasta with bentwood chairs, terrazzo floors,
specials scribbled on a chalkboard, sleep-
defeating coffee and imagined Mafioso mut-
terings in the back room.

Sosta ̈ ARGENTINEAN$$$
(Map  p718; %08-8232 6799; www �sostaargen
tiniankitchen�com �au; 291 RundleSt; tapas $16-26,
mains$33-45;hnoon-2�30pmMon-Fri,6-9 �30pm
daily) Beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish...veg-
etarians run for the hills! Sosta’s aged 1kg T-
bone steaks are legendary. With crisp white
tablecloths and blood-brown floorboards,
it’s an elegant place to launch your noctur-
nal East End foray.
