DESSERT BAR - SOUTH AUSTRALIA
by Maria Grazia Lucchese
Adelaide, the vibrant and dynamic capital of South Australia, has an extraordinary culinary culture. So numerous and varied are the restaurants scattered around the city that tourists are spoiled for choice. Get hooked on the city's culinary specialties. Indulge in an early morning coffee, pastry or even a nice brunch at Adelaide Central Market, the city's metropolitan market. Here, in fact, you can find excellent bakeries churning out hot brioches. In addition, Adelaide also has a wealth of small bars and cafes that can be found in the city's chicest areas, on street corners and major pedestrian boulevards. A popular rumor states, in fact, that in Adelaide for every church that was erected, a café was thought of immediately afterwards for the less pious needs. From a cultural point of view, in fact, bars are important centers of social gathering, where people or small groups can eat, drink, converse and even read, spending time pleasantly.

Indeed, after the historical interlude of the Enlightenment and the early 19th century, where the 'coffee house' was a place of political debate, it has now definitely assumed its role as a socializing function. It is a relaxed place to seek a quiet break and enjoy life in pleasant company. Building on this tradition, which has its roots in the Middle East and Europe, and also following trends in Melbourne and Sydney, Adelaide is rising to an undisputed home of popular nightlife, thanks to the success of the 'dessert bars' scattered throughout the city.
The dessert bar, commonly known under the name cafeteria, is an informal place to drink tea or chocolate, eat pastries and cookies, listen to good music and hang out with friends in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. There are many interesting places to whet the appetite and satisfy the palate. One of the first 'dessert bars' in Adelaide is the Devour on Prospect Road. It is definitely the most touristy and popular place; in fact, it is recommended to make reservations in advance, as it is very popular in the evenings. The menu also includes delicious vegetarian and vegan specialties. In addition, your four-legged friends are also allowed to enter. Scienze Umane Economico Sociale
Then Eggless on Goodwood Road, where desserts are prepared without eggs: we recommend the Tirasoutmisu, an interesting variation of the traditional tiramisu. Another café to try is the Onyx Dessert Lounge, on O' Connell Street: colorful style, ample space, and booking sweet and savory treats via I-Pad. If you want to taste a hint of Spain, then San Churro is for you. Specialties of this establishment are churros-a typical Spanish dessert-long, thin doughnuts sprinkled with sugar and served with a cup of hot chocolate. If, on the other hand, you want to go back in time, to be immersed in a refined and elegant atmosphere, to observe city life among large windows and terrasses, then your destination will be Astonish, on King William Street. An authentic Parisian patisserie with comfortable sofas, where you can enjoy delicious desserts, including macarons, macaroons, green tea crepes, delicate mango mousse and candied orange. After all, in Australia, anything is possible: explore grasslands, meet kangaroos and koalas, admire beautiful beaches, but continue to enjoy the charm of old Europe, which is also present in the New World.
