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$$$

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.
