Auge Ristorante

Although very close to the Hilton, Auge is still a place that can easily be missed by a casual visitor to Adelaide. Pity those who do. The menu at Auge is interesting and exciting; northern Italian fare at its best. My group chose the six course degustation, the highlights of which were the barramundi and the duck. The smoked pecorino which came with the cheese course was also a delight. My only criticism was that the salad accompanying the duck was slightly over seasoned. We ordered our own wine although, on reflection, we would have been better off sticking with the wine flight recommended on the menu. The formal setting suited the quality of the food. The staff were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit! 23/11/2011

As soon as you walk into the modern and stylish Auge on Grote Street, you are greeted at the door, your coat taken and the helpful staff offer you a seat either at the bar or your table. The menu is comprehensive and has something for all and the wine list is fantastic. The staff are also some of the best I have seen, for entree we had zucchini flowers and quail wrapped in pancetta – the quail was de-boned and all of the accompanying sauces were perfect. Each entree was cooked to perfection. For the main course, the duck breast and liver with pancetta were again perfectly cooked and artfully presented on the plate. The lamb was also perfectly cooked and had a great accompanying sauce. The desert was “art on a plate” with each element perfectly explained by the knowledgeable staff. This all created a perfect dining experience. 10/10 from both my partner and I. And this is big given both of us work in hospitality and are extremely critical when we go out. We couldn’t fault Auge. 20/05/2011

Auge is one of my favourite restaurants in Adelaide. Its the place to go with that someone special. The ambience is suited to romantic dinners for 2 or for corporate lunches. 20/06/2009
