If you live in Adelaide, chances are you’ve been out for a night at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre – whether that’s to catch your favourite band, to laugh out loud with comedic geniuses, or to be mesmerised by an ice skating affair.
The Hindmarsh locale is a mere five-minute drive north-west of the CBD, but unfortunately a bit of a trek by foot – not what you want when hunger sets in. Well blessed be, there are a number of eateries in walking distance to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, and six in particular that are super vegan-friendly. Take a look at our guide to the best vegan-friendly dinner spots near Entertainment Centre in Hindmarsh.
1. New Local Eatery, Hindmarsh
New Local Eatery is a diamond in the rough – easily overlooked, but a real shame if so. This restaurant is one of those places where you can dress up or dress down and no one would bat an eyelid – it’s whatever you want it to be. New Local Eatery boasts a seasonal menu with punchy flavours and uncommon combinations. Take the: fried potatoes with green pea sauce, baby cos, flat beans and dijon dressing; or the Kerlan masala roasted eggplant with toasted cashews, fresh coconut salad, cucumber, green chilli, boondi and pickled lime. Stay for one meal or indulge in the tasting menu.
Where: 120 Port Rd, Hindmarsh
2. The Gov, Hindmarsh
As a live music venue itself, The Gov has got the lot. The old-school pub is made up of various rooms – some for dining, some for board games and chatting, and some for rocking out. And while The Gov has seen bands with the likes of Sly Withers, The Living End, Hozier, and Smokie (soon to) take to the stage, sometimes the neighbouring Entertainment Centre nabs the crowds.
Nevertheless, popping in for a bite to eat before a show is more than welcome. With a recent update to The Gov’s vegan offerings, the menu enlists: bhaji with sweet potato, zucchini and corn; Lebanese-style maghmour of baked eggplant, spiced chickpeas, roasted capsicum and spinach; and a chick*n schnitty – amongst The Gov’s vegan fare.
Where: 59 Port Rd, Hindmarsh
3. Plant 4 Bowden, Bowden
Housed in an industrial-style warehouse, Plant 4 Bowden is a mini marketplace of multicultural food and local wares. As seen in our guide to Adelaide’s completely vegan eateries, Plant 4 is a mecca for plant-based goodies. Head to PingAn Veggie Time for Thai eatin’, Fun2SeeYa Pizzeria for che*sy goodness, Ali’s for Pakistani cuisine, and top it all off at Cakeboy Donuts, Live A Little Gelato or Parwna Shirni for dessert.
Where: 5 Third St, Bowden
4. Addis Ababa Cafe, West Hindmarsh
With a hot mention in our guide to the best Ethiopian restaurants in Adelaide, Addis Ababa Cafe know their spice. Get a load of the mixed plate of stew atop a sizable injera (fermented flatbread), as picture above. Addis Ababa Cafe are into cooking their stews lowly and slowly, and it sure shows with their: yekiki alicha (spiced yellow split peas), fosolia (spiced green beans with carrot and ginger), spiced spinach with ginger, and difen misir alicha (brown lentil stew).
Where: 462 Port Rd, West Hindmarsh
5. Zenhouse, West Hindmarsh
As seen in our guide to Adelaide’s 100 per cent vegan cafes and restaurants, Zenhouse has been a top contender for cruelty-free eats since 2006. Open for your lunch and dinner needs, the casual eatery serves up many a dumpling and yum cha-style bites, as well as sizzling platters and plenty of vegan me*ts. How about the roast du*k or sambal hotplate f*sh? Yes please.
Where: 462 Port Rd, West Hindmarsh
6. The Lady Daly Hotel, Hindmarsh
With no frills at an external glace, The Lady Daly Hotel may take you by surprise. The Port Road pub is akin to visiting a mate’s place – the mix-match of vintage furniture and the shed-like beer garden exude familiarity. And as expected when heading to a friend’s house to dine, you won’t be excluded. The Lady Daly’s thoughtful menu includes grub with the likes of: an eggplant schnitty topped with gravy or parmi sauce; salt and pepper tofu; spicy fried chick*n; wild mushroom risotto; and green tea soba noodle salad – to name a few tasty treats.
Where: 126 Port Rd, Hindmarsh
