About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Good for special occasions

At Stem, we are driven to create memorable dining experiences; sharing delicious food, hot pizza from a custom-built wood oven, fresh hand rolled pasta and carefully curated snacks.

We compliment this offering with a comprehensive wine and beer list. A bespoke cellar; filled with local, domestic and international wines, completes the dining room.

Lush greenery, American oak, intimate booths, bar seating and a generous communal table fill the room.
A Private Dining Room seating up to 16 guests with an attached garden courtyard, creates opportunities for celebrations, business meetings and special events.

The Cellar can also be considered for tailored wine tastings of up to 12 to compliment any event.

Located in the exciting and evolving West End of Adelaide, we are open Lunch and Dinner, Tuesday to Saturday.
