Reds, the Adelaide bistro owned by SIR Corp. (the behemoth behind Jack Astor’s), has flown well under the foodie radar since opening in 2000, yet it’s consistently an exciting place to eat and drink. At lunch, it is packed with power brokers, and on any given weeknight, the bar is three deep with grape-savvy suits taking advantage of one of the most extensive selections of wines by the glass in the city—up to 80 bottles are open at a time. After five years in charge, executive chef Michael Steh continues to wow with intricate compositions and tightly focused flavours. He ups the ante on the typical beet salad by featuring the root both raw (sliced paper-thin) and pickled, a beautiful contrast in taste and texture; moist, lightly smoked trout and freshly grated horseradish complete the plate. Rabbit is cooked three ways—stuffed saddle, juicy smoked kolbasa and a crisp confit croquette—all sauced with a gorgeous jus, buzzing with earthy morels and the briny pop of Triple Crunch mustard. Service is first-rate, though it often crosses over from classy to cheesy. Mains $20–$39.
