The Elephant

http://www.paddymaguires.com/adelaide/theelephant

Without being extraordinary, the schnitzels at the Elephant tick every box. A decent size, quite tasty, a good crisp crumbing while still having a respectable meat-to-crumb ratio. The chips are fantastic – very, very salty, which I guess is not to everyone’s taste, but I certainly don’t mind. You get a lot of gravy with your meal, and quite a generous salad on the side. And to top it all off, the Elephant is a great pub – as long as it’s not too crowded, it’s a fantastic place for a feed.

At $15.90, plus $1.50 for sauces, you’re not paying a lot for what is a pretty good meal. The only downside is that you wake up the next morning tasting nothing but salt. Totally worth it though!

The Verdict: A quality pub, which has nailed this pub classic.
