House of George

SNACKS/SMALL PLATES $3 - $25, MAINS $35 - $65

Yiasou George has had a refresh and young gun chef Sav Sexton has taken over the kitchen. Here you’ll find Mediterranean food with a focus on the Basque Country. The menu’s driven by seasonality and sustainability, inspired by tradition but not bound by it. You’ll find dishes like Saltbush and Mountain Pepper Squid, and Lamb Rump with Anchovy Dressing and Macadamia Skordalia. It’s delicious and it’s fun.

Patch Kitchen and Garden

SNACKS/SMALL PLATES $8 - $29, PASTA/ MAINS $32 - $48

Opening in February this year, breakfast, lunch and dinner in Stirling got a whole lot more exciting! This rustic restaurant, in what was originally the Stirling post office, is all about showcasing the best of Adelaide Hills produce and beverages. It’s a treat to be able to enjoy food by Andy Davies again (formerly of Press, Osteria Oggi, Bread & Bone), including his famous blue swimmer crab pasta that I’ve missed so much.

T-Chow

MAINS $17 - $70, BANQUETS $45 - $55PP

From lemon chicken to live seafood, T-Chow has it all, and people have been flocking here for years. Located in Chinatown’s Moonta Street, this place is value for money and with its large dining room, you’re pretty much assured to score a table. It’s a great place for a quick feed or for a long boozy lunch or dinner, and cheap BYO makes it even more appealing. I rather enjoyed the Peking Duck.

Topiary

$8 - $38, FORAGER’S MENU $90PP

Dining at Topiary is always a special experience. Here, chef/owner Kane Pollard combines his high-end restaurant skills with his passion for unique produce, sustainability, and traditional methods including culturing, churning, curing and smoking. This food is truly seasonal. Kane forages each morning for all things edible, with the rest of the produce coming from the local community and growers. Choose from the menu or let them feed you. This place is one of my favourites.

Singapore Circus

SMALL PLATES $12 - $24, MAINS FROM $35, SET MENU $80PP

It was formerly the fine diner Cube Restaurant located in the d’Arenberg Cube and now it’s the more relaxed Singapore Circus serving southeast Asian fare. It’s bright, it’s bold and it’s vibrant flavours. A la carte or banquet-style, there’s a flavour-packed selection from radish cake with lap cheong, lobster dumplings or Singapore laksa to an impressive whole duck or a perfectly cooked chilli or black pepper mud crab.

Pre-made meal convenience with great customer service!

Our Mission is to help you spend less time worrying about what’s for dinner and more time enjoying it.

After cooking from my home kitchen for busy families, I opened our first store Local Kitchen Co at 57 Duthy Street, Malvern in 2021. Since then my staff and I have been sharing our love of cooking with everyone who walks through the doors. Our connection with our customers has enabled us to create a great community of food lovers who enjoy the convenience of pre-made homestyle meals for themselves or to share.

As the demand for our service grew, we recently opened our second store and Café at 89 Unley Road, Parkside. This is another great location with rear parking from which to buy our large selection of fresh and frozen pre-made meals, beautiful fresh salads and other produce and wares. This spacious Café is a great space to enjoy a coffee and a light meal to dine in or take away!

Pop in and visit us – we look forward to seeing you soon.
