Nick's sister in law has been raving and raving about this restaurant. In fact, she claimed it was better than Vue de Monde. HUGE CALL WOAH. So we just had to, had to make a booking.
Estelle is not the most convenient restaurant to get to. We were lucky because we drove to Melbourne hence we didn't have to try and catch a public transport. However, the traffic here was so bad! We stayed in this nice airbnb in the CBD, it's supposedly only a 20 minute drive but it took us more than an hour because the traffic just wouldn't budge! Tsk, another reason why I like Adelaide, traffic is so much easier ! I'm the kind who gets pissed at seeing 40km/h speed limit at roadworks, so imagine how I felt when we had to go <20km/hr because of the traffic :/
Dinner was $160 per person.

This meal was sooooo good ! Nick says that this is his favourite place, and I don't deny! I t was really so delightful. I don't think I can say its better than Vue de Monde just going by the food alone, but if we were to bring in the price factor....... This is heaps easier on the wallet.
