Longplay

Forget algorithm-driven playlists: a turntable perched on the 15-metre-long bar at this ultra-cool brasserie plays slinky late night funk albums from start to finish. The crew that kickstarted Adelaide’s small bar scene with venues including Clever Little Tailor and Pink Moon Saloon welcomes diners in like it’s their own home. You won’t find any filler on the tight one-page menu of modern European classics like skewers laced with ribbons of achingly tender ox tongue and sliced cherries – and the $50 express lunch is an absolute steal.
