With a European menu and a record collection that’s off the hook, this vinyl-spinning bistro is another solid effort from the Crooked Little Tailor gang. Two ex-Summertown Aristologist chefs in the kitchen really seals the deal for us.

With a “back to basics” ethos and hospitality heavyweights at the helm, this polished diner offers pasta, protein – and one outstanding semifreddo – in Adelaide’s leafy eastern suburbs.
