Found one of Adelaide’s best Sunday roasts... and it’s not even on the menu 👀
The Rising Sun Inn is one of those places that feels full of character the moment you walk in. Tucked away on Bridge Street in Kensington, this heritage-listed venue dates back to 1845 and blends old-world charm with a modern, produce-driven menu
From beautifully plated seasonal dishes to a cosy atmosphere that’s just as suited to a long lunch as it is dinner with friends and family, it’s easy to see why this place is such a lovely Adelaide dining discovery
Here’s what we tried:
🍞 house-made damper: the flavours change every couple of days depending on what the chefs are creating. We had the chorizo damper served with Vegemite butter
🧀 burrata: creamy, fresh and the perfect way to start the meal
🍖 Sunday roast: not listed on the menu, but absolutely worth planning your Sunday around. It changes weekly, and this time we had pork served with all the proper trimmings: crispy duck fat potatoes, seasonal vegetables, apple sauce, crackling and rich gravy. Exactly how a Sunday roast should be!
🥩 beef fillet: cooked beautifully and served with garlic-roasted field mushroom, cavolo nero and blistered truss tomatoes
🍐 sticky date pudding: you have to finish with this classic! Served with butterscotch sauce, poached pear and cream, it was the perfect way to end the meal
Good to know:
🚗 limited parking on-site but there is also street parking
🎶 live music is held on the last Sunday of each month
🎨 the artwork throughout the venue is for sale, so if something catches your eye, you can actually take it home
🎉 while we were there, there were a few celebrations happening and the team told us they also host everything from birthdays to weddings and other private events
Big thanks to Max and the team for having us for the most delicious and comforting Sunday roast ❤️
