HELLO HELLO

****************************

Africola is a multiple award winning South Australian restaurant, housed in a colourful, heritage-listed East End building, we’re the home of good times in Adelaide.

***

The restaurant is centred around our open-plan kitchen and wood-fire oven – with big flavours, smoke, and spice at the heart of everything we do.

Chef Duncan Welgemoed’s approach to food is described as fearless, take-no-prisoners, bold and exciting. A menu of African-inspired vegetables, grilled and smoked meats, flatbreads, pickles, ferments, vegan-inspired desserts served with inspired cocktails and natural wine.

***

Open Monday to Saturday for dinner, and get in touch for special events.

"Africola may well be the hottest restaurant in the country. There was nothing like it before; there still isn’t. It’s just... better. It’s like Ottolenghi on steroids, with a sense of humour."

SIMON WILKINSON REVIEWS AFRICOLA

SIMON WILKINSON
The Advertiser

"Africola is part food / beverage / good times; part culinary archaeology. It’s a memory trip for the chef siphoned through a career in modern fine dining, and what comes out at the other end is unique. Welgemoed wears his heart on his sleeve that gives Africola so much soul, so much substance. As we said, unique."
