The Lion was once a hotel, but is now, in the management's own words, a "sophisticated restaurant, entertainment and functions complex". Few people have grown up in Adelaide and are yet to visit this city landmark. The eatery has won several awards, including the Australian Hotels' Association "Best Restaurant" title in 1999 and 2001, and was bestowed the AHA's "National Award for Excellence-Best Restaurant Australia" in 2002. There's also a gaming area where you can try your luck while nibbling on complimentary snacks. What's more, you can book meetings, functions and parties in their various private rooms, and grab the lion's share of votes as the host with the most! Review © 2007, Wcities |

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." For the best example of local fare, Perryman's is a must. Established in 1925 and still run by the Perryman family, the corner store ambiance remains. 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. Pies are available in two sizes while pasties come in bite-size only. The gingerbread men are heavenly! Review © 2007, Wcities |
