Worth folding into a Coonawarra trip: reviewers mention a warm welcome in a homely winery setting, with friendly staff and even the chef coming over for a chat.

A steady post-walk cafe in Thebarton: reviewers call the space spacious, light-filled and quiet, and describe front-of-house who help guests get comfortably seated and feel welcome.

For an intimate dinner, reviewers describe dark lighting and cosy booths that feel private, and some enjoyed kitchen-bench seating with a front-row view of the kitchen.

For a weekend Adelaide Hills outing, reviewers point to sweeping views over Adelaide and an older, warm pub character that suits slowing down and taking in the scenery.
