Located in the heart of North Adelaide, Ruby Red Flamingo serves up shared Italian dishes in a casual, homely restaurant. Take a stroll down O'Connell Street and grab dessert at ChocolateTree or St Louis (down the opposite end) or if you have an extra sweet-tooth, Chuck Wagon is an American-style diner that often serves up extravagent desserts like a Tim Tam burger!
