Chianti Classico

Three Course Tasting Plate of Bircher Muesli, Waffle with Banana Butterscotch Sauce and Almond Brittle, Frittata filled with Peas, Fontina and Crisp Pancetta $19.9

Chianti Classico, owned by the Favaro family is a delightful little Italian restaurant in the city. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. Most impressively they were awarded best breakfast in 2009 by the Restaurant & Catering Association of Australia. Upon discovering this, I decided to make a visit and I was not disappointed.

The Food

• The pancakes were the highlight of the morning being light, fluffy and melt-in-mouth.
• The steak was cooked to perfect medium rare and complemented the mustard sauce flawlessly. The fried egg was free range from the Cleland Gully SA
• The tasting platter was another winner as it featured three small portions of muesli, waffle and frittata so is perfect for someone who wants to try a bit of everything
• The coffee was also superb, the way a real Italian espresso should be – rich and aromatic with a lingering flavour.

...From Scratch Patisserie

Clockwise: Granny's Apple Breton $4.60, Chocberry Gilmore, Sea Salt Tart

...From Scratch Patisserie makes gorgeous and delectable rustic pastries and sweets. As you can tell from its name, everything is made fresh ...from scratch. At the moment they are only available at the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market (where I got mine) and the Gilles Street Market so unfortunately you can only indulge on these treats once a week!

Haigh's Berry Chocs

Berry Chocs: Strawberry and Raspberry Flavoured Centres with White Chocolate Coating then Coated in Milk and Dark Chocolate 300g $17.95

Haigh’s Chocolates was founded in Adelaide in 1915. The original store is still trading at the Beehive Corner building down the King William St end of Rundle Mall. On this particular visit, these Berry Chocs catch my eye. They resembled FruChocs (another South Australian icon) and were certainly just as delightful. I especially enjoyed letting the double layers of chocolate melt in my mouth to find the soft and fruity berry centres inside.
