(pan-fried lamb’s brains, grilled calf’s
tongue) or things raw (beef carpaccio, grav-
lax salmon) and confit (duck leg, onion,
olives). Try the house-made spicy beef sau-
sages, or the tasting menu ($68 per person).

cnr Gouger&MorphettSts; tapas $4-14,mains$16-
28; hnoon-3pmFri, noon-lateSun, 6pm-lateTue-
Sat) In a fishbowl corner room with a sexy
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-
ling sangria. Magic.

Lucia’s ̈Pizza ̈& ̈Spaghetti ̈Bar ̈ ITALIAN$
(Map p718; www �lucias�com �au; 2WesternMall, Cen-
tral  Market; meals $8-13;h7am-4pm Mon-Thu &
Sat, to 9pm Fri) This little slice of Italy has been
around since Lucia was a lot younger. All her
pasta, sauces and pizzas are authentically
homemade − perfection any time of day.
If you like what you’re eating, you can buy
fresh pasta next door at Lucia’s Fine Foods.

Village ̈Indian ̈ INDIAN$$
(Map p718; %08-82122536;www �thevillagerestau
rant �com �au; 125 GougerSt; mains$14-29;hnoon-
2�30pmTue-Fri,5�30-9pmTue-Sun;v) Taking on
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
(simmered in yoghurt, aniseed and carda-
mon) or Moreton Bay Bug masala. Busy
Gouger St location.

Evergreen ̈ CHINESE$
(Map  p718; %08-8212 1686;  31  Moonta St;  yum
cha  $5-19;h11am-3pm Mon-Sat, 5pm-late Mon-
Sun; v) A few steps away from the Gouger
St fray, Chinatown’s Evergreen has rapidly
earned a rep for great yum cha. There are
a staggering 182 items on the menu (every-
thing from eggplant hotpot to stir-fried gin-
ger scallops), plus a passable wine list and
paper tablecloths so you can get messy.

Jerusalem ̈
Sheshkabab ̈House ̈ MIDDLEEASTERN$
(Map p718; %08-82126185; 131 HindleySt; mains
$10-15;h11 �30am-2�30pm & 5�30-10pm Tue-Sat,
4-10pmSun; v) A skinny Hindley St room
that’s been here forever, serving magnifi-
cent Middle Eastern and Lebanese delights:
falafels, hummus, tabouleh, tahini and (of
course) sheshkababs.

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.
