Adelaide BYO?

[JamieBahrain]

How's the BYO scene in ADL these days? I'm coming down to see the rampaging Dogs and have a lot of mature wine that needs drinking.

Appreciate any suggestions. Formal and child friendly?

Mestizo, glenelg south. Peruvian restaurant. Great match with wine especially Reds.. chef sellection several courses. Value + highly recommend it.

[JamieBahrain]

Thanks Hunter, may be a bit far out though keen to try.

Try Chianti on Hutt St. Best restaurant in many years. Celebrated my 60th there recently. Italian food to die for, fantastic service, great stemware, BYO with $25 on corkage.

Thanks Chuck. I meant to mention I'm OK with BYO charge and $25 is reasonable in my view.

I have heard a few places are doing free/negotiable BYO again, although mainly on quiet weeknights like Tuesdays. Haven't tried them out yet, and not sure about the child-friendly bit either...

Electra House
Bartons (Caledonian Hotel), North Adelaide

Suggest calling and pre-arrange BYO. Bring the bottle in during the late afternoon when they are quiet and they can decant ready for dinner.

I have found many Adelaide restaurants, whilst not advertising BYO, will consider it when you explain the circumstances - special occasion/bottle etc. Suggest discreetly bringing it in between services and OK with corkage seems to work for me. $25 is not unreasonable and makes everyone happy.

Just had a brilliant meal at Chianti
Smart simple cooking with no attitude
Packed on a Monday night
Even glassware rocked
Purchased a very tidy 2013 Felsina chianti off the winelist
Thanks for the recommendation

Clapping now

Am off to Chianti again tonight
Takking a Rousseau Charmes
At least I dont need to take my Zaltos
The Riedel burg glasses they provide were slightly different and exceptionally good

[George Krashos]

Chianti again ... with Africola and Iberia just up the road. For shame ...

With all due respect
Did Africola last night
We didn't get it
The dishes clashed
Sugar around eggplant
Vinegar pronounced beans
We ordered a few dishes & scuttled out of the noise
I wanted to love it...
Shrugs shoulders

Noisey venue
Food is disjointed
Not my cup of tea

[Hunter]

If the music is a problem tell them and they will turn it down. I did!

I did that in Melbourne at Tonka
they were playing such loud Paul Simon Graceland that we couldnt talk
they did for 5 minutes
and then turned it back up
