How it works
Rundle Street East is Adelaide's main restaurant and bar strip. Establishments at the eastern end targeting tourists charge a premium for standard meals and may add automatic service charges or weekend surcharges without prominently disclosing them. Menu prices presented to tourists sometimes differ from those shown on online listings.
