Asian Restaurants in Adelaide

Dragonfly Adelaide Some drinking hotspots offer food out of necessity and it shows. While one of the cocktails here is called A Bit of Fluff on the Side, the dining certainly isn't. Chef Mark Ewan, also an owner, acknowledges the noshing needs of his urban clientele at Dragonfly and outstanding retro decor is backdrop for contemporary, innovative cuisine. European and Asian flavours are used well in small plates designed to share, as well as mains, sides and desserts.

Many hover around Dragonfly as a cool place to drink. It calls itself a bar and certainly has the music scene covered. Boutique beers and rather sexy cocktails also do the trick. Try procuring a bottle of Pol Roger while you contemplate the pan-fried haloumi and mushroom pate with Persian fetta. Nori salted chicken and okonomi yaki (Japanese-style pizza) are also definitely worth a try.
Pasta can be an eggplant and ricotta gnocchi with a herb and tomato sauce, while confit of duck leg comes resting on brown lentils and silverbeet with a pinot noir jus. Prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast is served with crushed potatoes, olives and salmoriglio, an oregano-based pesto.

Ewan's menu is intentional, intelligent and worth coming for alone. Everything else is icing on his chocolate lava cake. more
