Overview
Peel St Restaurant is one of Adelaide’s most loved and consistently excellent eateries — the kind of place where every dish bursts with flavour and every seat feels like the best in the house. Located at 9 Peel Street, right in the heart of the city’s laneway precinct, it’s a go-to for long lunches, group dinners, and visiting food lovers alike.
Founded by chef duo Jordan Theodoros and Martin Corcoran, Peel St’s philosophy is simple: start with incredible produce, treat it well, and let the flavours shine. The menu, written daily on a giant chalkboard, draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Expect bold, vibrant share plates like citrus-cured kingfish with sesame and herbs, slow-cooked lamb shoulder with tahini yoghurt, or charred eggplant with spiced lentils and pomegranate.
The portions are generous, the plating is rustic, and the energy is always buzzing. This is food made to be passed around the table and shared with friends. Vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat lovers will all find something to love here.
The drinks list leans toward small producers, natural wines, and interesting local drops, while the staff are warm, quick, and well-versed in helping you match a bottle to your meal. The room itself is stylish yet raw — exposed brick, concrete floors, and an open kitchen bring all the action into view.
Whether you're a local or a visitor, Peel St is an essential Adelaide dining experience — a place where quality, generosity, and atmosphere all come together beautifully.
