Unique Aussie fare |
54 Tynte Street North Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5006 Australia +61 8 8267 2766 |
Visitors to Australia are often intrigued by our fondness for meat pies, pasties and sausage rolls. There have even been songs written about these local "delicacies."

Take a short walk down Tynte Street, North Adelaide, and let the delicious aromas guide your nose. Here you will find beautiful flaky pastry and outstanding bakery goodies.
