Forget settling for an afterthought of soggy spuds—these five Adelaide spots elevate the humble potato into a headline act.

Lord of the Fries Adelaide

This city diner’s self-proclaimed “Best Fries You’ll Ever Try” goes pretty close to delivering on that promise, thanks to fresh potatoes and cooking techniques which provide a satisfying crunch every time. With options including shoestring, classic or chunky, these tangy chips are well seasoned and are available with LOTF’s iconic sauces such as American, Belgian, Vietnamese, Italian or Mexican. Each serve can be a meal on
its own, or you can add a burger or hot dog from their entirely plant-based menu.

23 Hindley St, Adelaide

Hey Jupiter Brasserie Française Adelaide

From humble beginnings as a little cafe, this venue has evolved into one of the city’s most popular Parisian-style brasseries, offering a wide variety of classic French staples. None more so than the steak frites, which comes with a generous helping of their traditional fries. Crispy and golden on the outside yet tender on the inside, these chips are joie de vivre on a plate, and will transport you to Paris, such is their authenticity.

11 Ebenezer Place, Adelaide

Yolk Cafe Walkerville, Brooklyn Park

Highly-rated brunch spot Yolk recently expanded to a new location in the western suburbs, and fortunately, they brought their delicious fries with them. Loaded with carb-goodness, these shoestring-thin chips are topped with truffle, grated parmesan and truffle mayonnaise. Every handful is a more-ish bite that complements their range of creative dishes which includes katsu chicken sandos, brekkie buns and mushroom truffle toasties.

2KW Bar and Restaurant Adelaide

The signature salt and vinegar shoestring fries is a much-loved dish at this city dining institution. Most prominently found
on their rooftop bar menu, it also pops up as part of their seasonal frites selections. Served up with kewpie and
tomato sauce, these slender chips are distinctively seasoned, crispy, and perfect for snacking on with a glass of champagne, while admiring the venue’s panoramic skyline views over
the CBD.

2 King William St, Adelaide

Bottega Bandito Prospect, Adelaide

This stylish, Italian-inspired all-day cafe is famous for many offerings but their fries are right at the top of the list. Tossed in porcini salt and lightly covered in shaved parmigiano, it’s delivered with a punchy chive crema dip for added flavour. It’s the type of side dish that pairs well with Bottega’s selection of hearty sandos. We recommend their sopressa with salami, fermented chilli mayo, fior di latte, tomato, basil and a touch
of pickled chilli. Or if you’re enjoying a lighter afternoon snack, perhaps order a limoncello spritz and relax outside in the sunshine.
