New dining venues La Louisiane, Metta Sol and trap. open in Adelaide, with new virtual golf course and District Outlet Centre

A slick multimillion-dollar shopping precinct, a secret subterranean bar and SA’s largest indoor golf centre were some of the new local businesses to open in the past week.

A tres chic Parisian-style restaurant found beneath the city. A multimillion-dollar outlet shopping centre in the northern suburbs. And South Australia’s largest indoor golf venue.

These were just a few of a bumper weekend of business openings across Adelaide. Here’s the five standouts to visit soon.

La Louisiane

Found below 89 King William Street, a dormant heritage site has been transformed into a chic French restaurant called La Louisiane. Opening on Saturday July 1, this underground Parisian-style escape offers the finest French fare, a specialised cocktail list, and lively jazz band on weekends. The experience is only available for a limited time, closing its doors in early December. As pop-up restaurants go, this is perhaps the most decadent.

Metta Sol is a new vegan-only restaurant on Goodwood Road

Opening in late June, this new Goodwood Road cafe is the latest addition to the plant-based dining scene in Adelaide. Offering a fully-vegan menu with a strong Vietnamese influence, this picture-perfect spot is just moments from the cycle track. The true drawcard at Metta Sol is not only the specialised coffee, but also the vast selection of vegan pastries created by specialised Adelaide Hills baker, Clara Cakes.
