    Delicious steak and awesome service! After reading some of the average reviews, we were not sure to expect but could not be more impressed. Our daughters 'kids meal' came out super fast and our steaks were cooked exactly how we asked. The only little thing we would suggest is maybe an option of potato or chips on the side. Great atmosphere and all staff we had contact with were super friendly and made us feel like valued customers!

    We were four ladies looking for a steak after the AFL. We were able to book a table on short notice. The restaurant has a good vibe, temperature, service, and food. My friend and I had the corn stew which was absolutely delicious. It comes with a meat filled baguette, but to be honest, this would have been just as good without the meat. I can highly recommend this dish. I enjoyed a delicious cocktail, and my friends had wine. Overall, this is a great option for a group, with multiple food needs, small and large meals, and value for money.

    Food was delectable... Meat lover beware - you'll fall in love with this place. I had the surf platter, the mix of seafood and meat was perfect. The grilled squid is perhaps the best squid dish I've ever had in my life! If you're looking for a food experience that isn't pretentious, this is the place to go. Every part of the meal was perfectly seasoned with a variety of flavours and textures. Additionally, the staff are so informative and very welcoming, giving the whole place a laid back atmosphere!

    Such a warm and comfortable atmosphere the second you walk in. With so many different cuts of meat ranging from big platters to 1.2kg T-bone to special done Argentinean skirt steaks to 32 dry aged sirloin steak ... (EVEN SEAFOOD).... Yes I tried them all... Yes I will keep coming back! The service staff and barmen were so welcome and fluid to our large table of 7 with many minds changing on what we wanted.... They explained everything without hesitation and it felt like they wanted us there!

    Good atmosphere and the food was great as well. Got the meat banquet and wedges and salad. They were able to swap the meats if you did not want a type else it was beef, lamb, and pork. Booked online to reserve a spot was quick and easy to do that. Only issue was that it was a "cashless" establishment so either you needed to have the correct cash as no change is given or else pay with a card in which they whack on a processing fee which adds up as the food is pricey.

    Argentinian High Tea experience was a let down unfortunately. The service staff were polite however was also a let down for this particular event. The restaurant itself is lovely with couch booths however we were seated in a high bar & stool section which was not mentioned upon booking. A high tea event would preferably be better suited with normal sit down tables. Food that was assumingly meant to be hot arrived lukewarm and tea & coffee also lukewarm. The set price high tea was more sweets and not enough savoury, but Sangrias we purchased as an add on were perfect though.

    The meat was delicious. My wife loved the squid. And the sauce was great with the meats. The beef steaks, lamb and crunchy pork belly were my favs. Will probably go alacarte next time and pick my favourite meats now that I've tried them all. All the meat was tender.

    Went there for high tea which was a nice venue for it. The selection was more on the sweet side with lots of little desserts. I think it would be improved if the tea, coffee and savoury food were served hot. And also if we were provided a bottle of table water and new plates after the savoury dish. We ended up buying a jug of sangria and that was delicious!

    💛 churros 🍗 peri peri chicken wings 🐟 grilled barramundi 🍖 asado grilled meat 🍫 chocolate cake 🍨 ice cream 🐽 pork sausage 🐙 grilled calamari 🧀 ham & cheese empanada 🍟 shoestring fries 🐑 lamb sausage 🏠: @labocaadelaide 📍: North Terrace, Adelaide 📝: Up for an Argentinian feast? Don’t look past La Boca Adelaide. Treat yourself with an endless line up of asado meats you can indulge yourself in. ❤️: I ordered and devoured my desserts first thing we sat down 🤣. Loved the chocolate ice cream that was strong and not too sweet. For the meats, I absolutely loved the lamb that was so tender and flavorful. The empanadas were also delicious—make sure you have it when it’s still hot and cheesy too!

    Not what I remembered. Small steaks and a bit tough. Grilled squid starter was OK and dessert was fine. Just doesn't seem as good as the last few times we visited. Will try the meat platters next time to see if it's any better.

    Amazing grilled food with good service. The grilled beef and the prawns are a particular highlight in the surf and turf platter. The sweet potato fries are some of the best I’ve tasted.

    La Boca Bar and Grill in Adelaide provided a memorable experience with its express lunch menu featuring Wagyu beef. The quality of the Wagyu was exceptional, especially considering the price, making it the best you've had in Adelaide. The friendly staff added a welcoming touch, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommended for those seeking great value and a warm atmosphere.

    This is our second visit after a couple of years. We were not disappointed. The service was warm and professional. The waygu beef steaks we ordered were absolutely delicious. We also ordered the garden salad and the rosemary chips. We finished everything. This Argentinian steak house will be in our future itineraries when we visit Adelaide.

    Had the Christmas Eve dinner special with the set menu. Amazing grilled meats and friendly staff.

    With so many good food choices in Adelaide, don’t go here. I’m sure that once upon a time it was amazing, but the tired decor (torn and peeling stickers on tables, sticky carpet, wobbly cafe style tables), and mediocre food make this place forgettable. $120 sea and land platter was appalling. Eggplant grilled within an inch of its life, with the stalk left on for a woody mouthful of indistinct flavour. Beak left in the end of the squid and grossly undercooked. The waitstaff treat you like an inconvenience, unfriendly, had to ask for cutlery and promote sauce for the kids. Won’t be back and do not recommend.

    La Boca has a nice vibe, plenty on menu to choose from and friendly attentive staff. Tried the special lunch menu only and it was quite nice and flavourful although the meat was quite chewy which was a dissapointment. The special lunch menu is a great deal however expect small portions. If staying in the area again, I would try the dinner option next time.

    First timers here. My family and I really enjoyed the setting of this place - the decor, lighting, scents and music really sets the mood for the anteroom awaiting your taste buds. The food and portions were good as well as the cocktails and the prices very reasonable. They really know how to cook their meats, there's no question about that and the variety available caters for all tastes. What really sets this place apart for us though is the service, from the time you step foot in the door to the time you leave, the staff really make an effort and this is the main reason we'll be back.

    The booth was super comfy. Our attendant for the evening was very helpful with recommendations and wine pairings, and super responsive. We were never left waiting for drinks. The menu has a good variety. I would have liked a few more vegetable options (but as my partner reminded me, you don't go to an Argentinian Restaurant for salad). The meat platter was generous and the pork chop was smoked and cooked to perfection. We dropped a moderate amount of $ on the meal, but left feeling it was worth every cent.

    Had a quick dinner here after landed in Adelaide. I didn’t expect the meal was so good. I loved the crispy skin of the fish. The pumpkin, the greens, crispy potatoes, bacon, and the green sauce were compliment each other, which made the whole meal very delicious.

    Amazing food in a great environment - perfect night out with friends It’s not funny how many times I’ve been to this place and they honestly always deliver. La Boca is, for me, the pinnacle of Brazilian food in Adelaide and they do such a great job at integrating flavours I would recommend anything off the menu, but you’d be crazy not to try some of the meat here - it’s the first thing you see when you come in and you won’t leave disappointed

    Guys get around it!!! Butcher platter, a bit of everything. The best pork belly. The best lamb. Such high quality and honestly prices are so so worth it! Such a good experience here, you'll see us plenty more. Thank you very much!

  • 2/5 Connor G. 2 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately this place was well below standard for a bar and grill sadly. It wasn’t outlined online when booking that the all you can eat menu is the only option during the week with no vegetarian options which made it impossible for my partner to eat. The Asian lady continued to be rude to us as if we knew what we were coming to and not accommodating. The wagyu steak was luke warm and unfortunately very chewy but the lady serving being rude didn’t want to say anything to cause more issues. Not the best experience we’ve had dinning and there are a lot better places to dine for half the price.

    One of the most beautiful Omakase experience we have ever had. The food was stunning and customer service is 10/10 :) The staff were friendly and caring. They frequently came to check on everything and informed us in advance about food timing. Mocktail was also a bliss. Everything has been beautiful from start to finish so we decided to book in for the New Year’s Eve Dinner. Will definitely come back before that too! Thank you so much for all the great work you guys have done. 😊

    Wow. It’s been a long time I’ve had a steak that good. Well more like hunk of meat but it was delicious, well seasoned, juicy and cooked perfectly. Friendly attentive staffed. Large place so no trouble fitting me in and open Easter Monday. I’ve I was a local I’d become a regular.

    Love loved this place! Had a fabulous shared meat platter with my partner, we both love to eat so we were sceptical about the share platters but was not disappointed!! We ordered the 'butchers selection' for $99 which come with an attractive amount of different meats all cooked beautifully. We also ordered a side of rosemary potato chips and an entree of 'wood grilled squid' and by all means was the best squid I've ever had. Recommend this place to anyone wanting to try a good Argentinean restaurant. 10/10

    Great price for lunch express $15. The red Sangria is better.

    La Boca Bar & Grill located on North Terrace, Adelaide is well worth a booking! Small menu resulting in top quality meals cooked to perfection. Friendly service and varied seating options. A little on the pricey side once you add in the essential side dishes, but still worth hitting up La Boca Bar &Grill for an amazing Argentinian style feed.
