About Market & Meander - Modern Italian Cuisine

Set inside a boutique hotel on Market Street, Market & Meander delivers striking contemporary style and punchy, modern Italian plates. Early mornings draw regulars for French toast and thick hot chocolate, but the room hits its real stride at lunch and dinner. Diners consistently gravitate toward the handmade casoncelli and wide ribbons of tagliatelle coated in rich beef cheek ragù. For celebratory tables, the kitchen sends out generous multi-course feed-me feasts, while afternoon shifts yield tiered high tea services with prosecco and warm scones. Guided market-to-table excursions even let guests handpick morning ingredients alongside the chef at Adelaide Central Market before settling in for a customized pasta lunch.

  • Handmade Pasta Specialties: Renowned for delicate casoncelli and rich tagliatelle tossed with beef cheek ragù.
  • Generous Feed-Me Feasts: Curated multi-course tasting formats designed for celebratory tables and shared dining.
  • Market-to-Table Experience: Guests join the head chef at the Central Market to source ingredients for a tailored pasta lunch.
  • Daytime High Tea: Afternoon service featuring savory sandwiches, macarons, and warm scones paired with prosecco.

  • Artfully Prepared Morning Breakfast & Brunch

    Mornings offer well-executed breakfast fare, from delicately balanced coconut chia and bircher muesli to phenomenal French toast and hot chocolate served with attentive care.

    I had the best bircher muesli and coconut chia. Delicious and delicate. Perfectly textured; just the right subtle sweet and whisper of spice balance.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering portions, pacing tasting menus, and navigating the venue

  • Come Hungry for the Feed Me Menu

    Arrive with an appetite if selecting the Feed Me menu; portions are notably generous and filling, so avoid pre-dinner snacks.

  • Pace Yourself on High Tea Sweets

    High tea sweets lean very dense and rich—take your time pacing through the dessert tier or consider balancing with savory options.

  • Note Multi-Level Layout and Amenities

    While the venue features upstairs seating and well-maintained facilities, diners with accessibility needs should note that some seating requires navigating stairs.
