Briony Hume checks out two iconic South Australian restaurants that have recently re-opened their doors –The Salopian Inn and Magill Estate.

The historic Salopian Inn at McLaren Vale is a landmark eatery which has been totally renovated, updated and revitalised by Karena and Michael Armstrong.  The food selection is eclectic and guests can also indulge their fancy for an aperitif at the Salopian’s Bar which boasts one of the largest Gin collections in the country.

Back in Adelaide, after a hiatus of two years, Penfolds’ flagship restaurant Magill Estate now sports a funky new look.  With the aim of offering one of the signature eating experiences in Australia, Magill Estate’s inspired degustation menu has a new focus on foods sourced from the same regions as the company’s world-renowned wines.

Chef Rosa Matto presents some hot tips for the barbeque season.   Based on a southern Indian recipe and using fresh Coriander and South Australian yoghurt, her BBQ Chicken Skewers are a fabulous addition to any alfresco cook up.
