linen, marina views, super service and a con-

temporary menu of tapas-style mezze plates −

you wouldn’t find anything this classy on

Santorini. The grilled Cyprian haloumi with

sweetened raisins and salty pistachio crum-

ble are sublime.

Self-Catering

Central ̈Market ̈ MARKET$

GougerSt; h7am-5�30pmTue, 9am-5�30pmWed &

Thu, 7am-9pmFri, 7am-3pmSat) This place is an

exercise in sensory bombardment: a barrage

of smells, colours and yodelling stallholders

selling fresh vegetables, breads, cheeses, sea-

food and gourmet produce. There are cafes,

hectic food courts and a supermarket here

as well.

IGA ̈North ̈Adelaide ̈ SUPERMARKET$

(Map p728;www �iga �net �au; 113 O’ConnellSt, North

Adelaide;h8am-10pm) Look for the nifty deli/

butcher counter out the front.

6 ̈Drinking ̈& ̈Nightlife

Pubs ̈& ̈Bars

For a true Adelaide experience, head for the

bar and order a schooner of Coopers − the

local brew − or a glass of SA’s impressive

wine. Rundle St has a few iconic pubs, while

along Hindley St in the West End, grunge

and red-light sleaze collide with student

energy and groovy bars. Most bars close on

Monday.

oExeter ̈ PUB

(Map  p718; %08-8223 2623; www �theexeter�com �

au; 246 RundleSt; h11am-late) The best pub in

the city, this legendary boozer attracts an ec-

lectic mix of postwork, punk and uni drink-

ers, shaking the day off their backs. Pull up

a stool or a table in the grungy beer garden

and settle in for the evening. Original music

nightly; no pokies. Book for curry nights in

the upstairs restaurant (usually Wednesdays).

Grace ̈Emily ̈ PUB

(Map p718; www �graceemilyhotel�com �au; 232 Way-

mouthSt; h4pm-late) Duking it out with the

Exeter for the title of ‘Adelaide’s Best Pub’ (it

pains us to separate the two) the ‘Gracie’ has

live music most nights, featuring up-and-

coming Australian acts. Inside it’s all kooky

’50s-meets-voodoo decor, open fires and

great beers. Regular cult cinema and open

mic nights; no pokies. Look for the UFO on

the roof.
