PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIA
Housed within a beautiful Victorian-style, heritage listed building in Adelaide's West End, Cos Restaurant maintains an airy and spacious elegance with its high ceilings, original plaster work, and old style ceiling fans. The feeling is enhanced by the large window (open in summer) that overlooks the activity of Leigh Street. The wooden chairs and tables laid with crisp, white linen and the dark wooden floor boards add to the effect, and in the summer months, Cos's leafy side courtyard is ideal for enjoying a long, lazy lunch or a quick coffee with clients.
The menu features the best of local produce concentrating on steak and seafood dishes and, of course, the house speciality - caesar salad. One of the finest caesars you will ever eat, this dish truly is a masterpiece. Perfectly formed Cos lettuce leaves rest under crunchy croutons, tasty bacon pieces, shaved parmesan and the chef's very own Caesar salad dressing, all crowned with an egg poached to perfection. Anchovies are optional. If you prefer something more substantial, the menu is full of tasty offerings that are sure to make for a difficult decision. Don’t go past the apple, rhubarb and pistachio crumble for an indulgent dessert.
