Haven't been to the Pot for ages and it's been a pleasant surprise ... Delicious small dishes for sharing between a small group or you could order individually as well. Unfortunately they are going to be revamped again with a brand new Italian look/menu so looking forward to trying their new venture soon
Always a good atmosphere and feel. Service was great. Food was good but maybe not as amazing as we thought it might be. We were just on veg and fish dishes only. The Brussel sprouts dish is awesome.
Excellent lunch at The Pot, wait staff were friendly , professional & informative. The food was exceptional, started with Fried Pork Bun, not what I expected but very tasty. Lamb Shoulder for main was tender & combined with grapes & Cayenne sauce an interesting combination with sweetness & bite. Bread & Butter pudding to finish & I was content & full. Highly recommend, I will be back soon.
My partner and I are pursuers of food pleasure. We enjoy travelling the world and trying new restaurants and were introduced to The Pot last night. We simply were in a world of culinary rapture and recommend them highly! Our waiter was great. Praham I think his name is. So helpful with guiding us through the menu - both wine and food. We started with the light Aperol spritz, followed by the Skillogalee Shiraz which were good choices. A complimentary baby turnip with a myriad of different flavours had us hooked at first bite. We knew were in for something special. On to the starters - we shared the pork and cabbage roll and the Port Lincoln sardines. The Chuck Steak burger and the pulled lamb dish with grapes were divine. Crunchy potatoes and a delicious side salad completed our meal. No room left for dessert but we were thrilled by this meal. Taste sensation. Even this morning over breakfast we were still raving on! 5 stars. Welcome to Adelaide!
Best $65 i spent on a tasting menu....fresh flavours and textures. Good ambience and very attentive wait staff.... oh btw, the chocolate gelato was amazing!!!
Great dinner place for some asian inspired dishes. Friendly service. Memorable dishes of the night was the goat curry croquette which had one of the best curry i have eaten. Perfect amount of spice and filling. Another dish was the singapore chilli crab papardelle. Handmade pasta which was done well and crispy fried soft shell crab . Definitely one of the better crab pasta dishes and comparable to Press blue swimmer crab papardelle. If you like the press version , you will like this one too. Pork belly was excellent . We ordered 3 out of the 4 desserts and the best is definitely the passionfruits souffle with chantily cream. Could easily eat the cream on its own. The peanut butter parfait was a standout as well.
It’s only on a rare occasion that I’ll get really excited about a menu – you know, when you read a menu and you want to order pretty much everything on it – well it happened again on the weekend – at The Pot, King William Road. The Pot has been around for quite a few years now and it’s always served quality food but I hadn’t been for quite a few years until I went in for dinner about six weeks ago. I had a really good meal and I told everyone I came into contact with afterwards that they must go! My lunch on Sunday cemented, for me, that The Pot is a really good option for a vibrant, relaxing and tasty experience. I’m such a sucker for Asian-inspired food and this is modern food with a pretty strong Asian influence – and it all looks pretty sexy too.
Revisited an old favorite again this weekend. Now known as The Pot by Emma McCaskill. I must say - we were disappointed. Previously, part of the appeal was being able to select a variety of small portions/share plates. This option is now obsolete and replaced by a rather small menu. The food is still of a high quality. I had a lamb main which I quite enjoyed, it just didn't seem as special as our old favourites! My fiancé ordered the wagyu rump, the steak was cooked well but the portion size was tiny! Service seemed to lack a little bit from our last visit (12+ months ago) but overall was still pretty good. If you were a fan of the restaurant previously, it may not quite meet your expectations but it is still worth a visit.
My favourite place to eat in the whole of Adelaide. The absolute best food is served here, and even though it's a little pricey, there is an 100% guarantee that it's worth it. I've been here a ridiculous amount of times and never once has the food been anything less than perfect. There is also an extensive wine list and comfortable seating, allowing you to make the most of your time there. The breakfast menu is also amazing, and definitely a must have on weekends. Some of the best dishes include the wood grilled salmon belly, char grilled Berkshire pork belly, crispy Hanoi duck spring roll, and my personal favourite Sticky beef dumplings. Also for dessert, the Nutella créme bruleé. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and after being there twice for breakfast, server Louis greeted me by name and asked if I wanted the same meal I had eaten the past two times (I did). Absolutely amazing, if I could give The Pot more than 5 star, I definitely would.
Nice little spot, has great potential. Food is well presented and lots of detail but just a touch low of flavour or wow factor. I feel like the tapas offerings are a touch expensive but there's a lot of work in the dishes.... The tasting plate option is probably the better choice and I look forward to returning in the evening. Nice staff although he was a bit rushed, seemed like just one waiter to look after the whole place.
Really nice spot with a great selection of tapas style dishes including lots of vegetarian options. Would recommend a bottle of Down the Rabbit Hole Shiraz and the peanut butter parfait for dessert.
Had a phenomenal meal here and the small and large options for the menu items provided a great opportunity to try more dishes, which was perfect. The sticky beef dumplings in broth were our favourite, full of shredded beef, little parcels of magic. Strawberry soufflé for dessert was perfect. Epic yums!
A fantastic, modern tapas restaurant. Perfect place to try a variety of dishes and we were happy with each & every one that we had. The food was top quality. Helpful & friendly staff.
I really enjoyed the food here. The staff were really friendly and service was quick. My favourite dish was the octopus with quinoa and marron sauce. We had the tasting menu for $65 each and were both very full afterwards.
The Pot Food & Wine has become a favourite. We had yet another fabulous dinner last night (photos added). I've had a number of lunches and dinners over the years and can't fault the place.
The ambience has always been fresh and inviting. It's especially nice to sit close to the door on a beautifully warm evening.
The staff have consistently been welcoming, attentive and knowledgeable.
But the most important is the food, and on that front, the Pot has always delivered. I must admit though, I have never really looked at the menu properly as I've always had the tasting menu. The tasting menu normally consists of 9 dishes created daily based on the freshly picked ingredients, and tailored to your liking.
I highly recommend this place and love coming back every time.

A cosy little place that is always busy- must be a good sign. Had the tasting menu at The Pot last night with a friend. Really impressed with the diversity of the dishes after having one too many tasting menus that offers carpaccio after carpaccio, this was a welcome change.
We were advised the menu had just been altered and there was a new wood oven. Very knowledgable staff and beautiful wines.
Entrees:
Slow cooked octopus- beautiful and tender with a sauce hot with chilli and crispy quinoa which was deliciously unexpected.
Croquettes- a stand out from the night. Silky smooth inside and amazingly crispy without being greasy
Sliders- yummy, wood fired pulled lamb. Finger licking good.
The Pot Caesar salad- really nice. Full of gherkin, onion and an anchovy of a wedge of iceberg. Lovely herby dressing
Main:
Beetroot with ginger salad- very heavy on the ginger but tender beetroot with julienned carrot
Pork with seaweed- really unusual. Fish and pork were not flavours I'd been exposed to together but I was delighted with the outcome
Dessert:
Peanut butter semifreddo with chocolate sorbet- to die for. Amazing. Covered in caramel praline this was another stand out from the night.
Smooth service and good timing of dishes. Left feeling happy and perfectly full.
Dinner date with the stranger at The Pot Food & Wine, but cause we’re an indecisive duo, a late booking resulted in a seat by the bar. We started our night off with a glass of red each as recommended by Carlos behind the counter; I also requested for a citrus, light and refreshing cocktail for myself and the dude behind the counter whipped this beauty up:

The Pot Food and Wine was an awesome venue for a family special occasion. Just out of the city on trendy Rundle St Hyde Park this is a skilful and wonderfully ambient restaurant that pleases at every level. We flew here from Melbourne to join our Adelaide family members to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary. So it had to be somewhere special – these things don’t happen everyday. (Image credit above: Pot Facebook). The food here is top notch with tapas dishes to be shared. There wasn’t a weak link among the fine fare. Each dish was sensational. Just to sit back and enjoy the ambience of this restaurant on a warmish Adelaide night was sublime. A modern fit out and long table for our large group to relax and imbibe. The Pot in Hyde Park Here is some of our selection… Burgers The Pot Buns are more like burgers to me… Delicate but with substance. Choose from a great selection of Prawn and Kimchi, then Pork, watercress and kewpie or indeed the Duck, cucumber, spring onion and hoi sin (my favourite), or finally Mushrooms, truffle and watercress. The buns themselves are delicious, and I suspect soft brioche. Succulent Lamb Slow roasted Hay Valley Lamb with macaroni and cheese is superb. The slow roasted lamb is cooked to perfection and the dude food heaven is complete with the macaroni and cheese.
Pot of chocolate gold coins. This is really a nice place. Whilst small the layout fits many without that feeling of being crowded. The atmosphere and view put the front is really beautiful. The waiting staff were quite nice and maybe I am a little biased because a cute one asked me out but they did really seem to be on top of their stuff and friendly. Added bonus they're pretty attractive in general :) the food itself was nice, not amazing and the servings were small but they were enjoyable. It's unfortunate how expensive the place is for how un-filling the food is. Next time I would have dinner beforehand and go there for a small after dinner snack. In general it's a place I would love to revisit if someone else is paying otherwise I just don't have that kind of budget.
Cool venue with quality food and great service! Rate this place
Mouthwatering. It's been a while since we actually went here unfortunately didn't think to review it at the time. BUT I only have fond memories and a desperate need to return . 3 of us went and we shared a pile of different dishes and every one of them was so mouth-wateringly yummy.
Can't wait to get back there!!
Yum! everytime amazing.. Love this place. Pork belly, Mac n cheeese, slow roasted lamb all so delicious. Cosy, warm and ambient. Will be back!
Amazing staff, food & atmosphere. Thanks heaps
Great burger!. After our third failed attempt to get a burger from Burger Republic down the road, we walked up to Pot on a Friday night and got straight in. Fantastic food, drinks and an outstanding burger. I liked the music, which was really different - a mishmash of 90s rock and other songs you just wouldn't ordinarily hear at a place like this.
We're able to book a table last minute on a Saturday evening, after a last minute cancellation. The table we were first seated as was side by side seating and very cramped. After a quick conversation with there delightful staff a more suitable table opened up and we were moved to a more suitable arrangement. The food and wine were delicious! Would strongly recommend this place for a special occasion or just a nice romantic night out with your significant other. Great experience

Amazing food and a great experience. We didn't have a reservation but showed up at 6.30 on a busy Saturday and were very well looked after by the staff, especially Jane (? Sorry I am not good with names) who was our waitress for the night. We took the option of sitting at the 'kitchen bar' where we could observe the kitchen staff do their thing while we ate. This spot also have us the advantage of being able to take our time and order as we went, based on things we saw coming out of the kitchen that looked good to us. We had a lovely unhurried graze on several dishes, all were worthy of note, especially the soft shell crab pot bun (mini hamburger slider) and the beautiful caramel pork belly special. I am not a fan of pork in general but shared this with hubby and it was awesome !!! Had to pass on sweets because a but allergy restricted our options but in all other respects, a beautiful meal. We will be back as there were a couple of items we were too full to try this time (namely the blue swimmer crab parpadelle)!
Like the casual sometimes rather loud atmosphere....food is pretty good too...although a tapas, would highly recommend either to increase the quantity a little bit or bring the prices down a bit...just too hard on the pocket and I want to come here often!!!
Best burger and onion rings!. Nobody does the humble burger and onion rings quite like they do. The bun is soft and delicious, and the meat is charred just right, and still juicy in the middle. The onion rings are crispy and light, not oily or soggy at all. Beautiful.
Relaxed and casual. Food was awesome, wine was good. not many to choose from by glass but well structured and balanced list. Tassie chardonnay was exactly what I wanted but probably shouldve had the soave with the oysters and the chardy with the kingfish sashimi (my bad there). Service was prompt and friendly, only one on the floor and was pretty busy by my 3rd course. Great little spot definitely recommend and will visit again when in Adelaide.
Not a cheap restaurant, due to small servings but you pay for good quality. I would recommend two mains per person but the food was exquisite. Most interesting and delicious flavours. Despite other reviews I found the service extremely friendly and not pushy at all. Overall very impressed
Nice food and service, cozy seats. Love it!
Great food. Food was really great: the Pot buns are amazing (the pork bun in my view bests the famed Golden Fields lobster roll), and the rest of the food we had was great. Service, while super friendly, was, on the busy Friday we were there, a bit sketchy at times, they seemed to have only two waitstaff for a full restaurant, so we had one of our dishes lost somewhere between order and table – but the lovely server comped the dish in the end so we were happy. Will definitely return.
My 2 cents. Lucky the food was good coz the service was SHOCKING!!!!
had the pork special. it was to DIE FOR.
lucky it compensated for the shocking service ... still contemplating if we will be back.
Absolutely outstanding, seriously good. Well executed and well conceived dishes, without a doubt the best burger I have ever had in Adelaide - brilliant.
BTW, the green beans with anchovies and radish was generous, fresh, crisp, exceedingly savory and eminently memorable, if a restaurant can deliver memorable dished then it is definitely worth going back - I'll be back for sure.
Ups and Downs. I am a regular lunch diner at The Pot.
I return there because they produce some really stunning and interesting food, the tapas style of dining enables me to have a number of taste sensations in a single dining experience.
After all that's the main reason I will dine out, otherwise as a competent cook myself I can produce most regular dishes at home.
With the exception of a dish of almost- raw chicken livers I got one day, it has all been well above-average and at times totally sensational food.
The small space can be daunting and feel crammed at times especially when the restaurant is busy, which it often is. Service too can at times be hit and miss.
The wine selection is consistently changing and contains many quality wines you don't see elsewhere. Wine prices though are very steep, which is my only real issue with this restaurant.
Nice Tapas. Visited here with two friends for a casual Saturday lunch - place was absolutely packed - and I can see why! It's not cheap and I was surprised at how many people were there with young families (I never got to eat THAT fancy as a child!) but the place appears to be child-friendly.
Standout orders were the croquettes (corn and chilli jam - yum), the pappardelle (lovely al dente hand-made pasta) and the pot burger (gorgonzola sauce and thin onion rings - can't go wrong!).
Top venue. MId Sunday morning breakfast.......random selection from interstate travellers. WHAT A FIND!
Simple food in the hands of imaginative young talent in the kitchen transformed to brilliant creations.
Not short on portion size and not arty farty.
Sensational wine list. (Had to have a peek). Lovely staff.
Favourite local spot. The pot never fails to impress. With great lively vibe, knowledgeable friendly staff and exciting menu filled with great fresh flavours.. pretty good cocktails too!
Hit and Miss.. I've eaten here a few times for dinner and once for breakfast.
The dinner experience has been varied depending on the staff. Breakfast was ok in terms of service. Because it is a small restaurant I don't recommend a stroller of any sort if you have a baby unless it's to eat outside (can't remember if they have outdoor seating). We brought our baby in her car capsule and managed ok.
The pot burgers are fantastic. I highly recommend the duck omelette for breakfast. The food itself is delicious but on the pricier side so this is a place we go to treat ourselves.
We'd been wanting to go here for ages and we weren't disappointed! Everything we ate was delicious and the service was terrific! I can't wait to go back and try breakfast.
I came here for my birthday dinner last night and the food was fantastic!! Very happy and we were really surprised by the bill- not nearly as expensive as we had anticipated! The beef cheeks, lamb with mac n cheese, grain salad with labne, soufflé and peanut butter parfait were standouts- so yummy!! Will DEFINITELY be coming here again! 10/10
Excellent customer service; even though it was extremely busy we were still paid plenty of attention by the relaxed and knowledgable staff. Great cozy interior. The food was delicious and the small tapas style serves were plenty for us. Recommend the salted caramel pork and the "golden egg" - both interesting and unusual flavours that really work. A little pricey but definitely worth it.
Awesome ambience, interior and food is great. The pot buns are delicious. Food is quite pricy and small serves however which is typical of French food.
The pot is just awesome. The food is unique and always changing, service is impeccable with Carlos running the show. If you are in Adelaide and need a guaranteed good meal, this is your go to spot!
Dined here about a month ago & popped in last night for a post dinner drink. The food is divine, delicious flavours & great for sharing. Loved the pot buns & an amazing dessert with chocolate icecream, peanut butter & brittle. Staff are very friendly, welcoming & attentive. One of my current favourites!

Spring Rolls to DIE for!!!!!. Great little tapas restaurant and a lively atmosphere!! There are two sittings, one at 6.30 and the other at 7.30. Staff were friendly and didn't mind that we wanted to come in at around 7.45 instead of waiting around at the boutiques nearby. The service of the staff were average but I think it was the owner who was very nice and was going around to each table making sure everything was okay.
Definitely pricier than other tapas restaurants but worth the money as long as you select the right items. My friend and I ordered a range of dishes but wasn't impressed with them all. The salmon tartare, tempura prawn and the 'nose to tail crumbed pork' were not the best choice. The salmon tartare was just cubed bits of salmon thrown on a plate with some goats cheese over it which was very appealing or tasted that great. I wasn't a fan of the tempura prawn as there was a funny taste to it but I think that's just be being fussy and the crumbed pork was very dry however the 'apple, fennel & celeriac remoulade' was DELICIOUS!!! I could definitely just eat a plate of that! Besides that we also got the Char grilled hanger steak the duck bun which were nice but not necessarily something you would crave and want to come back for. On the other hand, the Prawn and Pork Spring rolls were to DIE for!!!! They were served in a lettuce wrap with nuoc cham which is a Vietnamese fish sauce. These were definitely the highlight of the night and makes me want to go back there and just grab a few spring rolls for dinner!
Little Gem. We spotted this restaurant just by chance and it turned out to be a delicious surprise that we will definitely come back to. Beautiful beautiful flavours, so cleverly put together. The passionfruit souffle was to die for, absolutely amazing!
Service was a little disappointing. The place was not full yet our waitress forgot to bring our wine and 2 courses in we had to remind her. They also forgot to serve one of our dishes and we had to remind them not to charge for it on our bill, what a shame I was quite looking forward to those scallops.
Awesome experience at pot food & wine. Great staff and service. The pepper crusted barramundi wings were amazing. Such a different dish and well worth the effort.
Another wonderful dinner at The Pot. If you don't expect a traditional 3 course, and are happy to spread your meal over an hour or 2 then come in - don't expect to be rushed out the door. Beautifully cooked buns were a new, delicious addition to the menu - crab and morcila on brioche is my new favourite. Give dessert a miss, pick an extra savoury course and you will never be disappointed.
Great as always. Dines last week with two girlfriends. New menu so some of the old favourites are missing (lamb and macharoni, truffle croquettes, eton mess) but we moved on and tried some new dishes.
The duck crepes are amazing, so tasty I could have eaten the whole dish myself. Prawn and morcilla was good and the new croquettes ( i forget the filling) were nice. Beef ribs were pull apart tender and delicious sauce. Pork belly was yummy but not quite enough on the dish. Barramundi special was great as was the freekah salad which I love.
We had way too much wine. Would probably like to see a another couple of different bottles of sparkling available ., They used to cary the Louis Buillot which was great. White and reds were suggested for us and we really enjoyed them. Service excellent from all staff. This is one of my favourite places to dine and consistently delivers with a great atmosphere, wonderful food and friendly service.
One of adelaides finest. This place is good... Real good! Perfectly times tapas, exciting wine list and nice space! If you understand how to eat then you can not dislike this place!!!!

Wow! The Pot has very unique and interesting food. Sometimes degustation dining can be a horrible experience, because you spend so long waiting for a tiny morsel, only to gobble it up in desperation when it arrives, fail to 'taste' anything, and then begin the agonizing wait for the next sliver of food. The Pot avoids this sequence of events by virtue of its impeccable service. Each little plate was brought out within 5-10 mins of ordering it, and then rapidly (but in a staggered fashion) more and more of our small meals were brought out. We were constantly grazing, which meant there was never a dull moment! So the service is great - Carlos is amusing and friendly, without being too intrusive. We chose against having the set 'tasting menu' (even though this was recommended to us) and instead chose to select our own miniature dishes from the normal menu to share. The ambiance is nice - woody, dark, with brown paper tablecloths, cushions and a wall covered in a densely stocked wine rack. For the 'smaller' meals, the best was the mushroom/truffle/raclette croquette - deliciously creamy and crisp. The 'golden egg' was interesting and tasty, but a little sickly sweet. As for the 'bigger' meals, the stand-out was the truffle taglietelle - peppery, topped with asparagus and peas, with delicate tartufo flavours and a hearty creamy sauce. The beetroot/orange/radish salad with a buttermilk sauce was tasty and very pretty, but not spectacular. The leek/goat's cheese omelette was absolutely fantastic. The aioli that came with our side of shoestring fries was to die for - it was tart, potent and the fresh. For dessert, the Eton mess was tasty but relatively homely (compared to all the other weird and wonderful dishes.) The lime/coconut/black sesame sago and ice-cream was liked by my family, but I found it tasted a little too sweet and the flavour was more of an artificial coconut essence than of real coconut. The citrus crema catalena with spiced praline was an interesting gustatory experience - at times reminiscent of savoury Indian cooking (with anise and cardamom very prominent), while also regular (albeit perhaps slightly artificial-tasting) citrus pannacotta. Overall, the night was interesting, exciting and fun. The food's presentation was attractive and unusual, as were the actual ingredient combinations. I wouldn't go here every week - as it was an almost exhausting (but brilliant) adventure - but I'll certainly be back. A great experience!
Consistant and good. I have dined at the pot several times. every time has been pleasant. The food is always well seasoned and cooked right and the service is always great. the spanish? waiter that is always there is really good at charming you. Well done pot team
Fun. I live between Brisbane and Adelaide. When I want to relax and enjoy a fun night out or a relaxed Sunday lunch then this is where we go. Good food, good service and just simply a fun place to be whether with your partner for something quiet or a Sunday lunch with a group of friends
Great Basque lunch today..... Thanks Marcos for fitting us in
Great!. It is one of the few places in Adelaide with any heart & soul. Great wine, Great food and Great atmosphere. With so many restaurants churning out the same old stuff its refreshing to see a place bringing food and wine to Adelaide that you usually only see interstate or overseas.
The Pot is always a fantastic experience. Good service without being too intrusive, a great wine list and some of the best priced, good quality, enjoyable food in Adelaide. This is not a place to order a steak and chips for one, you need to come in, pick a range of dishes and enjoy all of the flavours on offer. I've been several times this year and it's always been memorable for all of the right reasons.
The Pot. This is the restaurant that Adelaide needed! The food is fabulous. It's nice to see someone serving real, classic foods. The 6 hour braised sticky lamb is to die for. Service is professional and friendly, the fit out classy, funky - and a just little bit rustic. Easily the best new restaurant in town.
The Pot is my favourite Adelaide restaurant. The food is amazing and the wine selection - special. The waitstaff are friendly yet professional. Management keep things ticking over with no apparent fuss and the chefs are really well behaved. (Hospo has enough Gordon Ramseys.) Love it!

The next stop was the wonderful food and wine at The Pot. We began with the Pot Beef tartare and then tried almost everything else. At $65 for the tasting menu, it is a bargain and the passion that emanates from the owner is infectious as he goes from table to table serving wine and mingling. Small but convivial - it’s a cracking little restaurant.
We had the tasting menu with 7 plates over 4 courses and paired wine. Everything was super delicious. Loved the asian influence in many of the dishes. The only thing that would have been nicer was the lamb, which was slightly dry. The chicken was super tasty, and was the highlight of the meal. Great wine and cocktails too!
Awesome food. Service was great. Tried the tasting menu and I highly recommend it.
If you appreciate top quality ingredients and clever tasty food you will enjoy yourself.
You will need to book. The restaurant probably only holds about 20 people, so rocking up with 10 people without a booking will be difficult.
Great food, wine and staff. We only had some dumplings there, but if that was any indication of the quality that the kitchen puts out then we are very excited to return. The staff were extremely friendly and approachable. This place is up with my top 10 eateries right now.
Great atmosphere, with a fix of casual and fancy. Could not fault the food, except serving sizes could have been larger - but that may have just been what we ordered. Staff were super friendly and helpful - overall, very happy!
This place serves amazing food! Went here on a Friday night - the atmosphere is great (although a little noisy) and the food is awesome. We chose from the a la carte menu rather than the feed me and we were really happy - portions were great and, with a bottle of wine between 4 plus 1 dessert and coffees, the bill came to less than $60 each. The let down was the service - consistently slow and un-attentive.
I have been coming here for years. There's always a good selection of delicate foods, great wines, and exceptional quality staff.
Even after they clean the coffee grinder, and coffee machine, they will make you the best Espresso Martini you have ever had!
