ADELAIDE doesn’t have a great record in recent years as far as classic French restaurants is concerned.
Perhaps the closest has been Hey Jupiter, in the heart of Adelaide’s East End, where you can start the day with a very authentic croque monsieur or brioche French toast and end it with steak frites (plus seared foie gras if you wish) or duck confit with duck fat potatoes.
For a while there was also in North Adelaide, which had a succession of chefs and a fair reputation for its cooking, but more significantly it was met bartender – and when Cliché closed they decided to open their own French restaurant.
