About the restaurant

Cafe Komodo in Prospect is garnering attention for all the right reasons with its delicious food, vibrant drinks, welcoming atmosphere and mystery location. One of Adelaide’s best kept secrets, you’ll find this modern cafe hidden down a laneway off Prospect Road. The cosy dining room and sunlit courtway are perfect places to relax with mates or family over craft beer, refreshing cocktails, hot coffee or an indulgent meal. The menu includes Australian cafe favourites that are wholesome, creative and packed full of flavour. We recommend picking off the specials board or ordering a Komodo original dish. Always bustling and full of Prospect locals, Cafe Komodo is popular so make sure you book to avoid disappointment!

About the restaurant

A bistro must be welcoming - with honest food and great wine. Those are the things we all love.” - Fabien Striet (Head Chef) and Nazzareno Falaschetti (Restaurant Manager) At Bistro Français, we believe French food shouldn’t be reserved for special occasions. Our menu of classic dishes is prepared to authentic recipes, alongside a few modern takes and seasonal specials. We offer wines sourced from French regions, and a handful of local producers. Share a meal with us any Tuesday to Sunday.

Definitely the best smashed avo in Adelaide. The flavours of the peas, mint and the pickled onion is amazing on some nice sourdough. Coffee is good and service always friendly. I was really disappointed with the side of bacon for $7 it was one small strand and it was rock hard.

Yes a lovely dining spot with Ocean views, Service was excellent, Food was a great selection and Lunch we had a Chef’s Fish Platter (for 2) delicious and enough for the two of us. Value was on the mark and would attend again. The noise level can be something to handle when many diners are in for special occasions. Overall it was a great dining venue.
