We attended a wedding at Waterfall Gully and the reception was held at Utopia. Utopia has spectacular views from it's balconies. The dining room looked gorgeous and you could still see the views which was nice. The food was enjoyable - a focus on good produce. This would be a great spot for a coffee or some lunch.
A perfect restaurant for a nice, warm, cozy meal whilst enjoying a fantastic view when eating outdoors. The staff were friendly, and albeit we had to wait for around 20 minutes for the food to arrive, the quality of the food made the wait all worth it!
I ordered the Lamb Shank; and albeit it costs $30, it was one of the best things I’ve tasted in my life! The lamb possessed a beautiful texture: soft, tender and aromatic! The roasted vegetables brought a sweet balance to the savoury lamb; and the mashed potatoes were soft and fresh.
For dessert, we ordered the Churros. It was amazing as well! —for they were the fluffiest churros we’ve ever been bestowed upon! —and the chocolate dip was rich! —even so, the caramel ice cream brought this dish to a whole new level!
However, the ground we sat upon was slightly slanted, making our posture slightly strange. But despite these imperfections, this restaurant was well worth it for its price! —an excellent place for a good hearty meal.
Anybody that has attempted the Mount Lofty Summit walking trail would already be familiar with Utopia. The restaurant is located right at the end of Waterfall Gully Road in a century old stone chalet. With lush green surrounds, the restaurant is nestled between cliffs and trees, and comes with its own waterfall views. Utopia showcases a modern Australian menu and utilises some of the states finest local produce. The location is very popular for weddings and it just so happens that was the very reason that brought me here today.
After a pleasant morning stroll at the waterfall gully, it was perfect to finish the morning with a delicious breakfast at Utopia. I was there with my parents and we each chose the vegetarian options are were not disappointed. The waitress was so friendly which really added to our great moods, thankyou so much!
A hidden gem. Amazing food catering for Adelaide's 'foodies'!
Fantastic breakfast menu hosting fresh, local ingredients calling on the cravings of those healthy brunch lovers! A range of decadent lunch options paired with an extensive wine list, sure to make for a great dining experience. There is nothing quite like it around! Situated in a rustic old chalet nestled in natures surrounds right be the waterfall. A must see just 10 minutes from the CBD!
My husband and I visited the restaurant yesterday for our anniversary. It was such a beautiful setting. The staff is extremely friendly. We love this place and probably visit again.
Our best dining experience while visiting Adelaide!
Fabulous location, superb food and great service. They easily catered for our various food allergies and our meals were utterly sensational. Can't praise them highly enough!
I love this place!! Definitely try their Eggs Benedict & their Chai Latte, you won't regret it. Amazing food, amazing service & an amazing setting - I'll definitely be going back !
Why have I not heard about this place?. Was well.... special! I took my family to see the waterfall on recommendation a few weeks ago. Kids were hungry so I thought we'd see if we could get something to eat for lunch. Sometimes these touristy places can be a bit hit and miss. I'm happy to report it was a big 'hit'.
We shared some tasting / entrees items which were great. I missed out on the mini burgers as my daughter decided that they were hers. :(
I was lucky enough to have the awesome caramel and fig dessert with prune and brandy ice cream. I can't believe the quality. How have I not heard about Utopia before.
fitting name for a well kept secret
I've done the Mt Lofty walk quite a few times but I've never eaten or had a coffee at Utopia. I really liked the place. The staff were lovely and accommodating. The choice for brekky is great. When the food came out it looked and tasted fantastic! I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back.
My partner took me here and the food was amazing, not to mention the beautiful location! The fried chicken and halloumi burger was incredible!! The chocolate milkshake I had was delicious! I will definitely be returning! They offer a high tea option which I would love to try next time!! 💖
We celebrated a birthday here and the venue was excellent! The catering was awesome - the organisers were always on top of everything and the food was simply marvellous. With the stunning views and hospitable service, this was definitely one of the most memorable birthday celebrations. Cheers! 🥂
Magic! Nothing short of magic for every visit we make.
This one was a little bit extra special after 2.5 years separated, we enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast reminiscing with my parents who have arrived to visit from Canada.
Our first magical moment was 10 years ago when Kelly, Justin and team made our wedding the most carefree and happy night of celebrating love.
Your dedication to perfection in all areas of your business shows with every visit and we love the respect and appreciation you hold for your guests. Your staff are a credit to your passion and this mornings team were no exception.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and we look forward to another visit very soon.
Small lunch menu, however the southern fried chicken and halloumi burger was sensational. Surprisingly good coffee too, a picturesque landscape and ample parking. Definitely returning!
We love this place. The atmosphere and care from the staff is second to none. My sister often takes me here for a birthday brunch - the food and drink choices are amazing. We purchased one of their Valentine's Day hampers earlier in the year that was full of amazing goodies. The location is so beautiful - you really can't go wrong with a waterfall on your doorstep. You won't be disappointed!
Beautiful spot! Thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and the food. Warm and friendly staff. Will definitely be back again soon!
Great coffee followed by the best location and the most important which is customer service. Every staff is so welcoming. I have interacted more with Dev and his friendly and professional approach has made me and my friends Utopia’s regular customers.
We all look forward to enjoying our coffee after our hike every week.
Keep up the great work Team Utopia!
Great place to have breakfast, food was so delicious and Staff are friendly. Recommended
