Best Known For

Wood-grilled octopus served with nduja, saffron aioli and chickpeas.

Find an intimate wine bar ideal for romantic rendezvous and after-work catch-ups at Icarus on Peel Street in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD. Whether dining alfresco on balmy nights, indoors where curved booths await those looking to enjoy a lively conversation, or a cosy table for two in rustic surrounds of well-worn brick and softly glowing candles, this will be a meal to remember. Start with cured ocean trout, ajo blanco, olive and sea herbs, or beef tartare, smoked bone marrow and potato cakes; before devouring Handorf venison haunch, spring salad and chocolate chilli, with baby carrots and sautéed kipflers. Pumpkin gnocchi, chestnut and fermented chilli appeals to pasta lovers, enjoyed with a glass of red; before an interesting dessert of olive oil ice cream and chicory root caramel.
