Sunny's Pizza
A guide to late night dining
Burgers on Peel Street, spaghetti in the East End and Cantonese favourites in the Market Quarter. Even after 9:00 pm, there are plenty of options to sink your teeth into.
Bread & Bone Wood Grill
This Peel Street eatery has a smoky flame roaring quietly in their open kitchen, and a soft serve ice cream machine to churn up a rotating selection of flavours for dessert. Choose from the classic cheeseburger, the soft shell crab or some sticky beef ribs. Bread & Bone doesn’t take bookings, but after the dinner rush numbers start to dwindle. At best, you’ll be seated straight away and at worst, there’ll be enough time to squeeze in another drink at their secret downstairs bar (just push the crease in the wall by the ladies’ toilets).
Ying Chow
Ying Chow has been satisfying the late night grumbles of hungry tummies since way back when. Don’t be fooled by the basic, fluoro-lit décor. The extensive menu features pages and pages of Guangzhou’s best including dishes like BBC, red vinegar ribs and an array of hot pots. The roast duck is a must.
Bar Torino
Late night eats can be both a little bit fancy and a lot delicious. Bar Torino is inspired by the flavours of Spain’s Basque Country. A curation of pintxos is spit into the following delicious categories: tins+pickles+salumi, snacks+spuntini, grown, land+sea and sweets. Wash it down with a gin selection that spans the globe.
Go-in Hot Pot
Ever wonder what happened to that hot pot train eatery in the middle of Hindley Street? Well, it’s alive and thriving. It's quite easy to miss the doorway on Gouger Street. But, it will lead you upstairs to an entire second floor dedicated to bubbling bowls of chilli soaked soups and a buffet of dipping sauces to try.
La Trattoria
La Trattoria is known well to most Adelaide locals, and rightfully so because the restaurant is celebrating its 50th birthday in 2018. Three generations of the Parisi family have run the business to this day, dishing up pasta, pizza and handmade gnocchi until midnight on King William Street’s southern end. If a casual bite is more your style, order a pizza from the takeaway counter just next door.
Midnight Spaghetti
Unlike the name suggests, Midnight Spaghetti doesn’t open or close at midnight. Instead, it’s somewhere that allows pasta lovers to meet and eat in and around that am/pm hour. The modern interior was designed by a local design firm, Sans-Arc, and gives the old upstairs pub venue its second wind. Try a classic carbonara, spaghetti polpette (meatballs), or zucchini noodles with tomato and ricotta for a lighter option.
