HC317

In the heart of Adelaide CBD, HC317 hums from first light to late night. By day it is relaxed coffees and brunch; by evening, the tempo lifts for energetic Asian‑fusion dinners and drinks, spread across multi‑level spaces, a rooftop and even mahjong social corners. With regular live events, it feels less like a standalone spot and more like a convivial community hub.

The kitchen leans into bold, pan‑Asian flavours and wood‑fired character. Think La Stella burrata brightened with cucumber, chilli sambal and soy dressing beside warm flatbread, or a prawn and green mango salad sharpened with nam jim, herbs, peanut and fried shallot. Bigger plates turn up the warmth and smoke: wood oven char siu pork neck with pickled red onion and sesame, and a 12‑hour master stock beef rib lacquered in a sticky glaze, cooled by crisp Asian slaw.

From the same hearth come pizzas that run from a classic margherita with sugo, fior di latte and basil to the mischievous Three Little Pigs, stacked with bacon, pulled pork and salami. Keep it simple with fries and gravy or steamed jasmine rice, and linger as the buzz builds.

Gather the crew, claim a corner or ascend to the rooftop, and let the evening unfold. Drop in for brunch, stay for dinner, and chase it with a nightcap. HC317 is ready when you are, hungry for good times and good taste.
