The German Club Bistro

I hadn't heard of the German Club until a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out it is right down the street from my current workplace...and they have a restaurant, and a bar! Of course, it was a must to visit. I'm a big fan of the great Aussie schnitzel so I had to try the real thing. Actually, I had a very hard time deciding on what to eat and have been sneaking a peek at the menu on their web site for over a week now. My friend had the jaegerbraten with sauerkraut and roast potatoes, which was on the specials board, and that was fantastic as well. Prices were reasonable, decent beers were on tap with a few unique ones in the bottle, and they have a happy hour on Fridays. Atmospherically, it's on the list of restaurants to re-visit as well. The bar/bistro is where you will be eating, and it is downstairs, with no windows and dark wood booths. I've never been to Germany, but it was certainly different to your typical Adelaide restaurant.

Katsumoto Japanese Restaurant

I discovered a fabulous new restaurant during lunch today, tucked into a corner of the Adelaide Arcade that I hadn’t yet explored. One of the best parts of eating Japanese, aside from the actual food of course, is the emphasis on presentation. I love being able to look at pictures of the food I am going to be served beforehand and/or see the actual plates in the window. The dish I had was a type of crab croquet and it came with salads, miso soup, pickles and of course rice, which seem to be the standard sides with most if not all of the meals. My friend had a gorgeous teriyaki chicken, which I may have to try at some point, although next time I will definitely be having the katsu curry. Must compare to my own that I made last week!*Read about the health benefits of Japanese cuisine HERE.
