When you walk up a short flight of steps from busy Chesser Street in the heart of Adelaide, through a pair of heavy swing glass doors, you are suddenly transported back in time. This is the time of the comfortable gas-light eating house where personal friendly service, excellent food and a choice of first class wines ensure a memorable experience.

Waiting to warmly welcome you into his Adelaide institution is Primo Caon, one of Adelaide’s most experienced restaurateurs. Primo was presented with South Australia’s Fourth Hall of Fame Award in 1995 and has been in the food and wine business for forty years.
