Enjoy the great outdoors at your local café, pub or restaurant
Long hot summers with balmy evenings and mild winters mean South Australians can dine outside for a large portion of the year and there are plenty of pubs, cafés and restaurants that offer outdoor dining. Better yet, many of them are family friendly which is great if you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere where kids can have a bit of space to stretch out.
We’ve put together a list of some of family friendly cafés, restaurants and pubs that offer outdoor dining and we couldn’t resist adding some of our favourite takeaway options too. It’s also worth exploring your local dining options and grabbing takeaway – just grab a rug and put it on the lawn for a fun picnic with the kids or settle down in your local park.
