Africola
Africola has been putting Adelaide on the global foodie map for years.

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.

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.
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.
1 Mawson Drive, Crafers
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.

Visiting celebrities in Adelaide have gravitated toward a mix of fine dining, contemporary brasseries and produce-focused restaurants rather than one single style. Venues with a strong sense of place, whether through heritage buildings, vineyard settings or riverside locations, tend to feature most often. Many of the spots favoured by celebrities also carry local credibility, having been established by well-known chefs or built around South Australian produce. This suggests visiting stars are seeking out authentic local experiences over generic luxury dining.
Adelaide’s dining scene has built a reputation for high-quality produce, distinctive venues and a slower, more private pace than larger capital cities, which appeals to visiting public figures. Touring musicians and actors passing through for shows, press or personal travel often seek out restaurants with strong reputations rather than tourist-heavy spots. South Australia’s wine regions, heritage architecture and produce-driven kitchens give the city a point of difference. As more celebrity visits are shared on social media, Adelaide’s profile as a dining destination continues to grow.
