10” Custom Pizzeria is located in Braddon Hamlet. Braddon Hamlet is a collection of food and drink outlets located around an open air/ covered, shared dining area – a posh food court, if you like, though you won’t hear it referred to that in super chic Braddon – and to be fair it is a cut above a food court in all areas (including price!).

There are three Botanic Gardens in the Adelaide area:
The Adelaide Botanic Garden
Mount Lofty Botanic Garden, and
Wittunga Botanic Garden.
The now 125 acres Adelaide Botanic Garden which opened to the public in 1857, at the Eastern end of North Terrace, is the most accessible of the three. That doesn’t mean you should only go there.
