Authentic dining isn’t just about ingredients - it’s about storytelling, soul and cultural connection. Latin American cuisine delivers all three in spades, weaving bold spices, fresh herbs and slow-cooked tradition into every dish. Across Australia, these venues celebrate their heritage with heart, offering everything from Peruvian ceviche and Argentinian asado to Brazilian feijoada and Venezuelan arepas.
If you're craving genuine Latin flavour - unfiltered, vibrant and full of passion - these five restaurants bring the taste of Latin America to your doorstep.
Cumbia Bar & Kitchen – Adelaide CBD, SA
Tucked beside the Adelaide Central Market, Cumbia Bar & Kitchen is more
than just a place to eat - it’s a lively cultural hub where music, food and
folklore meet. With its mosaic-tiled interior, vintage brick archways and
buzzing alfresco area, Cumbia sets the scene for a sensory trip across South
America without leaving the city.
Start your day with breakfast favourites like the avo
loco - smashed avocado on sourdough with dukkah and cherry tomatoes - or swing by
later for Latin-style tapas. Try the house-favourite King salmon carpaccio
drizzled in pomegranate glaze or the smoky roasted pork ribs with BBQ sauce and
crispy potatoes.

Pincho Disco – Collingwood, Vic
Pincho Disco is Collingwood’s wild love letter to Latin America - equal parts
culinary theatre, late-night party and modern design playground. With its
Miami-meets-Melbourne interior and live entertainment schedule, this is where
the Latin soul goes to dance - and dine.
On the plate, expect contemporary takes on Latin classics.
Start with baked scallops in red chimichurri butter, then move onto a fresh
kingfish belly ceviche, kissed with green aguachile and crunchy radish. For the
main, the josper-grilled eye fillet is a showstopper, smoky and succulent with
hearty sides like wood-fired pumpkin and corn.
