Awesome place, me and my hubby had dinner there tonight. The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing. I want to thank Chris and all the staff for being very acomodating and friendly �
Food was great. Very well executed dishes and the wine and beer choices were spot on. Would recommend to anyone staying in Adelaide to go for a meal here.
Love the selection of wine and cocktails. The food was great.
Had dessert and wine with my friends last night. Really like the desserts esp the polenta cake and sorbet. We had a lovely time. Their atmosphere is really relaxing as well. Definitely will come back for more wine and dessert!
Consistently great service with a wine tome for a wine list and a great selection of spirits. I have eaten here before and the food is great but it was just drinks on this occasion. A lovely oasis in the craziness of Hindley Street on a Saturday night. If you're down Hindley Street this is a great option for a drink.
The Apothecary 1878 is a must try for fine food enthusiasts in Adelaide.
Plush velvet lounges, marble table tops and mahogany cabinets take you back to another time. Lights are dimmed, surroundings cosy and romantic, the perfect location for a date.
I recommend trying the large banquet option, allow the chef to cook your degustational surprise while you sit back and relax. I found this option well priced considering the number of meals and attention to detail. Dishes were packed with flavour, a real trip for the taste buds. The wine list is extensive and do try a cocktail!
I have visited several times and have never had a dull experience.
I had the pleasure of dining there last night. The place has a vintage look, the ambiance was overall good.
The food was great and they have a wide selection of wines. Some of them they offer as half bottle.
The good: the beef Tatare was amazing especially with their homemade capers. Well done.
The beef as main was tasteful, it is recommended to order a side dish with it.
The bad: Not much, while service was friendly, it was sometimes a bit slow.
Verdict: I would come back again, we had a good night and enjoyed the menu.
Nice menu, nice wine list and a bar stocked with quality spirits. I figure you could do well here for tea, an aperitif or a whole meal.
I had the steak which was tasty and beautifully presented. No side to speak of, a smear of purée carrot but to round out a meal one of the sides is essential.
Unfortunately, high 30s for main and teens for side and wine makes for a costly, if tasty, one course meal.
Quality is worth paying a bit extra and I left satisfied. Four stars.
Went to Apothecary last night, had been many years ago. Wondering why we hadn't been back! It has aged beautifully, little front bar lovely! Service good if not slightly over efficient! Shared appetisers and small plates which was perfect. Duck liver pate fabulous with perfect little rice crackers. Prosciutto, cacciatore and chèvre platter good, pork rillette lacked flavour. Small plates we were divided on best, but the slow cooked beef short ribs probably won! Beetroot great as well if not overly large. Dessert not as good, quite pleasant but not the strength of meal! Should have had cheese. Brilliant wine list, will definitely be back!!
Everything there was just beautiful and tasteful. We had a date night and dined in the basement. The atmosphere is cosy, the wine abundant and the food divine. Another memorable date night !
Overall I love this place. The proteins are perfectly cooked. I definitely recommend the pate, sardine and ox tongue for starter. The mains we ordered the steak and the salmon both are awesome!! Looking forward to come back some time soon.
My husband and I enjoyed the Chefs sharing plate and at $68 per head, we were very satisfied! The service was thoughtful and attentive. Ambience perfect for a romantic dinner. Food divine and matching wines paired well. We loved our experience and will recommend to friends.
Nice place great decor love the exposed brick and natural floor boards. Small à la carte menu and small selection of beers. The food was good and steak was cooked slightly under what was requested. The staff were great very friendly and helpful with great service provided by all staff members who we interacted with. All in all a pleasant experience.
Beautiful venue! My party had the chefs tasting menu, and the staff were able to work around all dietary requirements. No one felt like they were missing out at any point. The food was delicious with flavours you'd never think to pair, like date compote with roasted/grilled fennel! It was simple, yet exquisite.
Huge shout out to our waiter, Dan, who went above and beyond to make our night enjoyable, and was happy to have a laugh and a chat with us. He knew the menu, he knew what drinks would go well with our preferences, and was always there when we had a question or needed something.
10/10, I can't wait to go back.
Had the pleasure of dining in this uniquely decorated charming restaurant. Service was excellent and personalised. Food was delicious, tastes were well balanced and wine pairings made the entire experience unforgettable! Will definitely recommend!
We had a lovely mid-week dinner for so many reasons!
Firstly, a cool and unique venue with amazing curiosities that keep your eyes darting around and admiring the period interior and intricate tiling.
Secondly, the food is just great - a lovely and varied menu with something for everyone.
Thirdly, friendly and attentive service made our night hassle free and enjoyable.
Perfect!
We went here for our anniversary and the reputation lived up to the hype.
We opted for the chef 5 dinner mystery option and each meal was better than the previous.
Amazing food, fine dining and a luxurious ambiance makes this a great place for a more important milestone or just a fine night out. Highly recommended !😁
Had a great night here for a friend's birthday dinner. We enjoyed having the chef selection meal and loved the cocktails and the paired wines.
Staff were friendly and the atmosphere and decor was amazing.
Will definitely go again.
I had always walked past and always wondered what they had to offer. After checking out the website I knew I had to make a booking. Small intimate area with only 5 tables but enough space for a private dinner. We chose the 5 course chef selection with paired wines. What a wonderful experience! Food was incredible and wines were amazing. Service was impeccable I didn't have to lift a finger. The cabbage starter was my favourite followed by the steak. We will definitely be back!!
