Overview
Hey Jupiter is a French café and bistro located in the heart of Adelaide’s East End, offering diners a little taste of Paris without leaving the city. Known for its charming fit-out and authentic menu, it’s a go-to destination for everything from early morning coffee to late-night cocktails and French classics.
The venue’s aesthetic is unmistakably European — vintage tiles, marble tables, and a long green bar that opens out onto leafy Ebenezer Place, where outdoor seating lines the laneway. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with the kind of effortless style and buzz you'd expect to find in a Left Bank café.
By day, Hey Jupiter serves up French-leaning breakfast and brunch favourites — think eggs en cocotte, croissants, tartines, and freshly squeezed juices alongside excellent coffee and specialty teas. It’s a popular haunt for casual catch-ups, solo coffee sips, and working lunches.
As the day rolls on, the menu expands into bistro territory, with rotating specials and staples like steak frites, duck confit, and moules marinières. A well-chosen list of French and South Australian wines, classic cocktails, and aperitifs rounds out the offering, making it a strong contender for evening dining as well.
Service is polished but relaxed, and the attention to detail — from the branding to the cutlery — reflects a deep affection for French culture. Whether you're there for a weekday brunch or a late-night digestif, Hey Jupiter delivers charm and consistency in equal measure.
