An Unforgettable Fusion Feast at Peel St Restaurant!
Ambience & First Impression:
The moment we stepped into Peel St at 9 Peel Street, I was struck by the industrial‑chic vibe—exposed brick walls, a long concrete bar, and an open kitchen buzzing with energy. The décor is relaxed yet stylish, setting the perfect scene for a fun, communal dining vibe.
Vibe & Atmosphere:
The place was packed midday on a weekday, full of chatter and clinking glasses. Despite the bustle, the service felt effortless and genuine—casually dressed staff hovering with confidently recommended plates and drinks.
Food Highlights:
We began with olives and focaccia—how delicious—and we devoured them! Then came the banana blossom chicken—tender and fragrant, served with chilli jam and coconut salad. Every mouthful was layered with textures and spice.
Perhaps the standout was the pork belly with prawns, peanuts, and Asian greens—a masterful balance of rich, sweet, nutty, and umami, rolled in herbs and sauce.
Also, try ordering “small” plates—which are actually generous “large” shares—perfect for sampling a variety.
Taste & Flavour Profile:
Every dish combined Middle Eastern and Asian flavours in clever, creative ways—think coriander, sumac, nam jim, herbs, tahini, and pomegranate—all packed into share plates. The food feels generous and intensely flavorful without being pretentious.
Staff are highly knowledgeable and friendly. They offer advice and pace the service wellhether you’re sitting at the bar watching the chefs or at a communal table. The wine list is thoughtfully curated, heavily featuring South Australian producers and some international options. However, it was the perfect night to order ‘GinkaTonic’ as I always called it 😎
On a High Note, the sweet finale was the peanut butter parfait—a decadent explosion of mousse, caramelized banana, chocolate and salted caramel. It was indulgent and impossible not to finish.

Loved our meal here. Was seriously considering coming back the next day. Food was tasty, fresh and contemporary with out being pretentious or fussy. The long running chicken salad deserves to be on the menu.

Delicious fusion food with generous serves. We had the octopus toast and lamb dumpling for starters and the short rib for main and we were stuffed!
The flavours was really well balanced. The service was excellent and the meals came out promptly

Had an amazing dinner at Peel St last night. The tapas were incredible, every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. My host Shelby was fantastic, going out of her way to make the evening special with genuine recommendations and warm service.
The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, perfect for unwinding. Honestly, the food was so good I went back the next night…when’s the last time a restaurant made you do that? Peel St has definitely earned a new regular customer.

Selected 4 of the snacks from the menu and it filled me up and was a lovely way to try different items on their menu. Each item was delicious and well presented. Service was fantastic and each staff member was friendly and upbeat.

Really good food. The snacks were my favourite. Best falafel I've ever had! Loved the pork belly too. If I went back I'd just get lots of the snacks. The obligatory banana blossom salad was good but quite intense, I would love it if that could be on the snacks in a small portion. Some basic veggie sides would have been lovely along side our mains (the whole snapper) eg some green beans or broccoli.
Really fantastic food and great cocktails.
Loved the negroni.

The lamb was incredibly soft it melted at the slightest touch of my SPOON! No knife needed. The sauce was perfectly balanced.
What surprised me most? I even finished all the green peppers - something I’ve avoided since I was little. I cleared the entire plate without leaving a bite or a drop of sauce.
The portion was generous. I left feeling completely full and deeply content.
The waitress was very warm and friendly which made the whole experience more enjoyable.
GREAT food, GREAT service – definitely worth coming back for. 🥰
