Eating and Drinking at Adelaide Airport

Editorial

Thanks both to State pride and a colossal love of the grape, a South Australian flavour greets visitors and locals at Adelaide airport.

A good number of the dining options here come with a distinctively regional tang. Icons South Australia, a provedore of local delicacies and, naturally, wine, houses a tasting bar where you can sample local produce before taking to the skies. A task, by-the-bye, much less trouble after a snifter of Shiraz.

If you prefer beer to big reds, the airport houses the first dedicated Coopers Alehouse. Find Coopers, a genuinely great Australian brew, on tap and a bar and snack menu designed for grazing. It's certainly popular, with the nearby Cooper's 1862 Bar opening up to catch the overflow.

Local coffee stars Cibo Espresso serve an award winning drop with a selection of above average Italian sandwiches and dainties.

Made to order stir-fries and classic hawker style dishes like laksa and char kway teow keep the chefs under the pump at Billie Chu's, with the open kitchen providing theatrics and enough aroma to ensure the line is always populated.

This culinary codicil to your time in South Australia makes for a pleasant journey.
