Maid of Auckland

In Edwardstown, Adelaide, Maid of Auckland celebrates the comfort and character of modern Australian dining. It is a menu that roams between land and sea, balancing familiar pub classics with a few proudly local touches.

Things begin simply with warm parmesan garlic sourdough or a bright tomato and basil bruschetta. Then the kitchen leans into Australia’s pantry: chargrilled kangaroo sits alongside a classic scotch fillet; from the sea, baked Atlantic salmon and crisp salt and pepper squid keep things fresh and lively. Flavours are clean, generous and quietly confident.

There is comfort in the stalwarts, too, from chicken schnitzel and beef schnitzel to a crispy chicken burger or the signature beef burger. Greens keep pace, whether a timeless Caesar salad or a zesty Thai chicken and rice noodle salad, with chips and sweet potato chips to round things out. It is the sort of line-up that welcomes both hearty appetites and lighter fancies.

The mood is easy-going and unpretentious, the sort of place where a weeknight supper, a lingering weekend lunch or a celebratory catch-up all feel at home. Book a table, bring a hearty appetite, and let the Maid of Auckland make a meal of it in the best possible way.
