Round up the Girls: The Best Restaurants for Galentine’s Day in Adelaide

Don’t wait around for that Prince Charming to break your curse. Instead, this Galentine’s Day, prick your curiosities with a visit to Aurora with the girls! Residing inside ILA, Aurora is an innovative dining spot where Japanese and Korean cuisines are fused to combine a vibrant, rich and unique dining experience. If you and the girls are stuck on what to order, the three- or five-course Degustation Chef’s Selection will cover all of Aurora’s fan favourites accommodating vegetarian, vegan and coeliac diets too.

Girls, get ready to clink your glasses and swirl some pastas – this Galentine’s Day we’re heading to one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Adelaide’s CBD, Osteria Oggi. With two tasting menus to choose from, guests can also pick as they go with an expansive a la carte that covers everything from small plates to pasta, main dishes, sides and, of course, desserts too. Better yet, the pasta is hand made on site by a team of ladies working on a marble table in the cellar.

Upon first glance of this boutique bar, you will most certainly do a double take. Is this a laneway in Adelaide or have you somehow been transported to a backstreet in Paris? But don’t fret, La Buvette Drinkery is much closer to home than you think with its prime location on Gresham Street. First and foremost, it’s a wine bar brought to life with a beautiful bistro-style menu. Putting it simply, the food is orgasmic and, as for the wines, expect plenty of French and locally sourced tipples too.

Sometimes you need a part time lover but a full-time friend. Thankfully, Adelaide is home to a buzzing Scandi-inspired restaurant and bar that combines the best of both worlds. Tucked along Paul Kelly Lane, just a touch away from Adelaide Town Hall, is an all-day dining oasis. Their menu has been carefully allotted into four different categories – plants, seafood, meats and sweets. Vibrant and punchy, top picks include the Beetroot Carpaccio with whipped tahini and candied almonds, the Chimichurri Marinated Squid, Prosciutto Toast and the Coconut Sorbet with a shot of Midori.
