Caledonian Hotel

I read a few negative reviews after booking a table here for tonight. We were in the cafe, not Barton's (the tables between Bartons and the front bar). As we booked we were given a spacious booth for 4. it was noisy at 7:30 but by the time the mains came at 8:10 it was a plesant atmosphere. Bar staff friendly and efficient. As far as I understood according to the website menus, the 'cafe' actually has all the 'fancy' food served at Bartons (and same prices) but also has the pub grub on the menus, where as Bartons didn't (thus average meal price was cheaper in cafe as one could choose fish and chips, schnitzels ($18 for parmy) burgers and specials board (butter chicken $14)). The food was better than expected (based on recent reviews), curry full of flavour, schnitzel had those big crunchy crumbs and a nice herby tomato sauce, garlic bread was alright, 2 peices for $4. As it was a friday night pints of beer and cider were $5 for a big variety (until 9pm). For a nice meal on a friday night, at the very top of north Adelaide (so much easier parking), I reccomend it. I look forward to going back and trying out Bartons in the near future for a more sophisticated night out :)

We were able to have an affordable family meal out that was still delicious. Most of the members of our group of 7 ordered from the daily specials which were very good value. Burgers and chips were $10 and a small pasta was $13. There were $5 drink specials which also helped keep the price down. The café area is really nice and spacious. You are able to order from the restaurant menu too if non of the pub fare is appealing. The service was friendly and the kids meals came out really quickly. Good place for a family meal. Would go again.

Chose this restaurant for the location (close to the entertainment centre) and there was crumbed brie on the menu. Ended up being a brand new menu so no brie unfortunately but what an AWESOME night.A fantastic waitress backed by wonderful food. A really cosy yet comfortable atmosphere will certainly be going back.Loved it! love it! loved it!
