Weekends in Adelaide

On Friday night I met up with a few friends for after work drinks at the Metro Hotel on Grote Street. the Metro used to be a dodgy TAB bar which was inundated with people for around 10 minutes each evening around 7pm as people going to the theatre across the road had a pre show drink. But otherwise was left to hardened locals. Now it's under new ownership and with surprisingly few changes have made it a fantastic Friday night haunt with Live music and pin ball!

On Saturday we went out for breakfast at e.t.c (East Terrace Continental) which is my favorite Breakfast place in the whole of Adelaide. I had the full breakfast and the boy had the mixed Grill. I love e.t.c. because the first time we went there I managed to drop my untouched full breakfast on the floor whilst cutting my first mouthful of bacon. The waitress whisked it away and replaced with another one almost instantly! I was so impressed with the service and it's been fantastic ever since.

On Sunday I met a friend at the goodwood markets Kuhl Kooking cafe. The Cafe makes Breakfasts with Market produce and fantastic Robe butcher sausages. We had tasty B.LT.'s (mine was no T and add avocado) We picked up a few things from the Norton Summit venison stall and decided a BBQ was the order of the day. We went for a bit of a bike ride to Waterfall Gully with a few friends to work up an appetite. The Ride was challenging... the boy got a puncture, then my chain came off, then his chain came off, I was promised that is was flat... it wasn't... it was very uphill but I made it! We got to the car park admired the waterfall (which was flowing as there has been lots of rain here recently) and made directly for the bar at the restaurant. A coopers pale hit the spot... Ah beer with bits in! And we set off home, which to be fair was all downhill, having earned out BBQ tea.
