The Best Date Ideas in Adelaide, by Neighbourhood
Adelaide is one of Australia's most underrated date cities — the CBD's small-bar laneways, Rundle Street East's restaurant row, leafy North Adelaide, and Norwood's Parade all within minutes of each other. SaidYes turns them into a specific plan with real venues and timing.
Adelaide CBD date ideas →
Adelaide's CBD has some of Australia's best wine bars per capita — Gouger Street, Hindley Street and the laneways in between have excellent restaurants at prices that make Melbourne look expensive. A great first date city.
