The Best Dining Deals in Adelaide Happening Right Now
Who said a meal out had to be expensive? These are the best dining deals in Adelaide to keep your eyes peeled for.
Thanks to the increasing cozzie livs, it feels as though we’ve been clutching onto our wallets as of late… but money still seems to be vanishing somehow anyway. And as we watch those precious pennies dwindle, eating out becomes unimaginable, especially when there are so many other expenses to prioritise.
Adelaide restaurants have heard your cries for a cheap feed loud and clear, and they’ve delivered some incredible deals that, to be honest, may even be cheaper than preparing a meal at home. So, if you want to enjoy a meal out 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!
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.
