Today The Forager discusses more later night dining options, foodie events for your diary, gluten-free dining and more.
More late(r) night options
Last week, we started a list of later night dining options, for those who like to eat after – rather than before – the movie.
We’ve since received more tips from readers and restaurateurs, which we’re pleased to provide.
Jake Greenrod from Goodlife Organic Pizza (city, North Adelaide and Glenelg) says the kitchens don’t close until 10.30 on Friday and Saturday nights.
Several readers have suggested d’Artagnan Restaurant and Lounge in North Adelaide as a reliable late-night option.
One reader (obviously with a sweet tooth) has reminded us about the excellent cafe Steven ter Horst Chocolatier, on Unley Road, which is open until 11pm from Tuesday to Sunday.

Gareth Lewis, from Jack Ruby on King William Street, has confirmed that the bar and diner will serve food until midnight every Friday and Saturday. The owners will soon be opening the Downtown bar in Hindley Street, previously mentioned in dispatches, and Gareth promises the full menu will be served until 2am.
Al fresco food
Spring naturally turns our minds to eating outdoors and there are a few upcoming developments to jot in your food diary.
The annual cheese festival, CheeseFest, will once again take over Rymill Park on October 26-27.
The organisers are promising 60 stalls this year, with a wide selection of cheesemakers from across Australia.
New this year is a Government-sponsored degustation lunch, prepared by Nigel Rich, from McLaren Vale’s The Elbow Room, and Brendan Bell, from The Kings. One of the courses will be a selection of South Australian cheeses chosen by Premier Jay Weatherill – the big cheese, if you will.
Also new at CheeseFest – and something which The Forager will approach with a little apprehension – is the “Foodland Funky Fondue Lounge”. With a retro theme (complete with juke box and dance floor), you’ll be able to indulge in both a cheese and chocolate fondue.
Meanwhile, expect an announcement soon about the Adelaide Showground Farmers’ Market’s long-awaited Prospect off-shoot.
Gluten-free haven
Stay informed, daily
People with gluten intolerance or coeliac disease often have an uncomfortable time negotiating a gluten-free meal while dining out.
More and more restaurants mark gluten-free options on the menu, but there is always the question of cross-contamination.
Coeliac sufferers, in particular, will be thrilled to learn that Magill Road’s Mexican street food restaurant, Maiz & Mezcal, promises a completely gluten-free menu (and, by all reports, it’s also completely delicious).
It’s also one of the few restaurants in town that serves gluten-free beer.
While on the subject of beer – but definitely not for those who can’t tolerate gluten – the Regency TAFE is offering a special course for those who would like to supercharge their understanding of beer.
The Beer Flavour Training Short Course, hosted at the Regency Campus Brewery, promises four evening sessions for those who want to develop a detailed understanding of beer styles, flavours, faults and evaluation.
“Participants will gain theoretical flavour knowledge and vocabulary, as well as exposure to beers of diverse styles, good, bad and spiked with specific compounds for the benefit of training their own palates,” the course synopsis promises.
The course begins on 15 October.
