About Thelma Piccadilly

Tucked into the Adelaide Hills, this Piccadilly room pairs hyper-seasonal South Australian produce with an unpretentious tasting format. An open kitchen sets the tempo—Chef Tom turns out a shifting set menu where cape bauer oysters, fresh calamari, and dry-aged beef tartare share space with warm honey mousse. Diners routinely flag the feed-me feast as one of the sharpest values in the state. Pouring alongside are low-intervention drops from small-scale growers, soundtracked to low-key Celtic folk beneath tea light candles.

  • Feed-Me Tasting Menu: Rotating multi-course set tasting guided by local produce and chef improvisation.
  • Low-Intervention Wine List: Curated pours spotlighting sustainably minded, small-scale producers.
  • Open-Kitchen Service: Intimate dining room with courses cooked in full view alongside warm, attentive hospitality.

  • Intimate Open Solo Chef Preparation

    Guests experience an intimate setting where the sole chef prepares dishes in direct view, accompanied by thoughtful course-by-course commentary.

    I particularly liked the way the food came out as the one and only chef cooked it. It felt as though he was just cooking for us.

  • Sensory and Inventive Flavors

    Each inventive plate delivers vibrant, sensory-rich flavor pairings cooked with genuine respect for the inherent qualities of local ingredients.

    It's honest and real at the same time as being a somewhat mind blowing, taste bud expanding experience.

Before you head over

Practical planning advice to help you get the most out of your visit to Piccadilly.

  • Book Well in Advance

    With a small, intimate dining room and dishes crafted by a single chef, reservations fill quickly—be sure to secure a table in advance.

  • Check Dietary Requirements Early

    While the rotating set menu highlights seasonal South Australian meats and seafood, multi-course vegetarian adaptations are accommodated during lunch service.

  • Layer Up for Hills Weather

    Adelaide Hills temperatures can drop sharply; window seats and outdoor tables may encounter a chilly draft, so bring an extra layer just in case.
