Overview
Press* Food & Wine has become a staple of Adelaide’s dining scene — a venue that’s both confident and comfortable in its approach to modern Australian cuisine. Located in a beautifully converted warehouse on Waymouth Street, the space features two distinct levels: a more casual, high-energy bar and bistro space below, and a more intimate, refined dining room upstairs.
The restaurant focuses on seasonal, locally sourced produce, showcasing it with minimal fuss and maximum flavour. The menu is generous and well-executed — from South Australian oysters and dry-aged steaks to vegetarian-forward options like roasted heirloom carrots with labneh or charcoal-grilled zucchini with salsa verde. House-made pastas and premium cuts are perennial favourites, and there’s always a standout fish dish featuring what’s best from the coast.
The drinks list is another key strength, with a wine program that champions South Australian producers, as well as an excellent selection of interstate and international drops. Natural, low-intervention wines sit comfortably alongside classic styles, making it an excellent venue for both wine geeks and casual sippers. Cocktails are well-balanced and creative, perfect for starting or ending the night.
Service at Press* is warm, relaxed, and attentive without being formal — the kind of place where you can just as easily have a special occasion dinner as you can a Friday long lunch.
With over a decade of consistent excellence and recent subtle refurbishments to keep it fresh, Press* Food & Wine remains one of Adelaide’s most trusted and beloved venues for people who love good food, great wine, and understated style.
