In the suburbs of St. Morris, a wonderful feast for the senses awaits – with the aroma of deep, smokey flavours, and an effervescent vibe that draws you to your seat.

Hoosegow Charcoal Restaurant & Bar resides on the busy main strip of Magill Road. But upon entering, you’re immediately transported away from the bustle, and into a cultural fusion like no other.

‘Hoosegow’ is the Latin American term for prison, with the concept of being ‘prisoners of food’ at the heart of the restaurants name.

The menu boasts bold flavours that combine the best of Latin American, Eastern and Asian cuisines.

Charred, smokey and spicy offerings like their guajillo lamb backstrap, 8-hour smoked beef brisket, chargrilled guajillo octopus and their signature chilli chicken, are just some of their hero dishes.

Paired with a refreshing cocktail from their extensive drinks list, and you have yourself a well-rounded night of dining.

And, if you have a sweet tooth, ensure you ask for the dessert menu (hot tip: go straight to the tres leches (three milk) cake!).

If you are looking for your next cultural feast, look no further. Arrive hungry, and ready to lick your fingers in greed!

Hoosegow, charcoal restaurant and bar – 419 Magill Rd, St Morris.

Coal Cellar + Grill

Coal Cellar + Grill epitomises the South Australian culinary experience, embracing a true paddock to plate philosophy.

This is achieved through utilising fresh, seasonal and sustainable local produce and hand-picking wines from the region’s top cellar doors.

An elegant, yet informal restaurant in the heart of the city, it offers a Seriously South Australian® journey where only the best of South Australian produce is plated.

Not only is this restaurant conscious of the environmental impact of the food used, but a quality and value for money experience is also ensured, both of which are front of mind for customers in 2022.

Brent Assam, Executive Chef at Coal Cellar + Grill notes a shift in returning to simplistic and traditional methods of cooking that are more sustainable.

“Cooking over charcoal has been very popular with it’s simple, clean and steady method of cooking”, Brent says.

“This style allows the natural taste of the ingredients to shine, with the added bonus of smokiness and depth of flavour”

“At Coal Cellar + Grill we have made it a priority to cook over coal to showcase these characteristics, but also because charcoal also offers a higher energy content and can be reused.”

Another trend we are sure to see more of is comfort food, as highlighted by Coal Cellar + Grill Executive Sous Chef, Josh Gorman.

“It’s been a rough and uncertain couple of years and customers are craving the familiar and nostalgic meals associated

with happy memories”, says Josh. “Our annual Winter Food and Wine

Series highlights this comfort food and becomes a platform for this flavour exploration, whilst also showcasing how well this style of food pairs with the full bodied, bold reds from South Australia’s wine regions.”
