Thanks to the increasing cozzie livs, it feels as though we’ve been holding onto our precious pennies as of late… but money still seems to vanish anyway. As we watch those dollars dwindle as they’re put towards groceries and bills, dining out becomes a source of stress rather than joy.

Well, some stellar Adelaide restaurants have heard our cries for an affordable feed, and they’re putting the joy back in a night out, delivering some incredible deals that, to be honest, may even be cheaper than preparing the same meal at home. So, if you want to enjoy a dinner date but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, this guide is for you. Here are some of the best dining deals in Adelaide that are happening right now, including a steak for less than $20 – simply unheard of in this economy!
