The Best Dining Deals in Adelaide: Monday
$1 Dumpling Mondays at Lenox Avenue
Lenox Avenue on Rundle Street is making the start of the week something to actually look forward to. From 5 to 8pm, $1 dumplings land with any drink purchase, with their top picks — pork sliding perfectly with a margarita, veggie teaming up with a crisp sauvignon. Suddenly, Monday feels a little less like a Monday.

Pia’s 2-For-1 Pizzas & Aperitivo Hour
Pia’s is giving you two reasons to get to Glenelg. Every Monday throughout winter, the pizzeria is running 2 for 1 pizzas, dine in or they come to you. Then, daily from 4–5.30 pm, Aperitivo Hour rolls in with $10 Aperol Spritz, $10 Negroni and $5 antipasti. It helps that the setting earns its keep too, a converted original house where gingham tablecloths, a real fireplace and wine-lined shelves make every room feel a little different.

Bandit Pizza & Wine
Bandit’s short and sweet menu consists of classic and unique Neapolitan-ish pizza styles and flavour-packed snacks like woodfired sourdough and tuna crudo.
Understanding the need to save a penny or two, the team have put together ‘Cozzie Livs Mondays’ to ensure we remain well-fed as we look after our wallets. Enjoy a selection of pizza for $24.99, starters for $19.99 and drinks for $9.99. Considering this is where you’ll try some of the best pizza in town, you can thank us later for sharing the great news.
Sitchu tip: Can’t make it on a Monday? No stress. Bandit has recently introduced their very own Apertivo Hour, where from 5:00pm – 6:00pm on Tuesday to Friday, you can score $15 cocktails and $15 wood-fired pizzettas. Did someone say happy hour?
