Aurora

Aurora is more than just a fantastic newcomer to Adelaide's dining scene. Sweep in past the open kitchen to a dining area separated by light and texture into areas within rooms. If you take a false turn, you'll find yourself in a performance area with live music or a DJ. Aurora, which is part of the larger Light ADL project, is a registered charity dedicated to innovation and treating people properly, at a time when the hospitality industry is beset by allegations of significant underpayment.

Wessels (previously of d'Arenburg Cube) isn't a fan of the mundane but worthwhile. This artists district avoids the bohemian in favor of high-quality meals with twists and storylines, seasons, and sustainability. The char comes from a custom-made braai. Cocktails made with gin and shellfish from South Australia are the stars of the show. Staff who are eager to learn on the job and are fairly compensated. Great wines to complement the gin, as well as decadent sweets that you can dance off next door if necessary.
