So, if you want to create your own celeb-inspired itinerary, keep reading as we round up the A-list-approved Adelaide restaurants adored by Hollywood’s glitterati. 

Magill Estate Restaurant

Ahead of his sold-out show at Adelaide Oval, Ed Sheeran made a stylish pit stop at Magill Estate Restaurant. Nestled on the historic Penfolds grounds, the fine-dining destination is famed for modern Australian cuisine, seasonal menus, and exceptional wine pairings. With sweeping vineyard views and an effortlessly refined vibe, we can’t think of a better way to fuel up before hitting the stage.

Bloom

When Tate McRae rolled into Adelaide on tour in 2024, she made a pit stop at Bloom, the all-day brunch and lunch spot everyone’s talking about. The Kid LAROI tagged along, reconnecting with the city where he went to school. Think a converted tram-barn along the River Torrens/Karrawirra Parri, seasonal dishes, fire-cooked brunch vibes, and garden seating that’s just made for celeb snap-worthy moments.

38 Winwood Street, Thebarton

Africola

Africola has been putting Adelaide on the global foodie map for years. Indie folk band, Bon Iver came for the South-African-inspired flavours in 2023, Trevor Noah stopped by while touring in 2024, and Katy Perry even dined here with Diplo back in 2014. Tennis legend Novak Djokovic? Yep, he’s been here too. Chef Duncan Welgemoed’s wood-fire grill, bold spices, and Feed Me tasting menus make this heritage-listed hotspot the peak of Adelaide celebrity dining.

Fugazzi Bar and Dining Room

Nigella Lawson was here in 2024, she Instagrammed it, and yes… she went full “fortifying feast” mode with a tomahawk steak, anchovy hollandaise, chips, and salad on the side. Fugazzi Bar and Dining Room, run by MasterChef winner Laura Sharrad, is where contemporary Italian gets a bold, lively Adelaide twist.

27 Leigh Street, Adelaide 

Hardy’s Verandah

Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan escaped to Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills in June, sharing swoon-worthy snaps from her stay. The adults-only retreat offers panoramic valley views, fireplaces in every open-plan suite, and fine dining at Hardy’s Verandah that screams South Australian produce done luxuriously. From hillside serenity to next-level meals, it’s easy to see why Sequoia is the Hills’ go-to for elevated accommodation and dining experiences.

Station Road

South Australian-born actor Teresa Palmer celebrated her fifth baby in style at Station Road in July — and shared the magic on Instagram. This chic, French-inspired brasserie in Festival Tower is polished yet relaxed, with a marble bar, wine vault, and alfresco piazza seating. Seasonal South Australian produce gets the European treatment here, making it a perfect backdrop for life’s big (and beautifully photogenic) moments.
