A Prayer for the Wild at Heart

Best Known For

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with confit garlic, rosemary and sides of miso-roasted baby carrots and fried potato scratchings.

Taken from a Tennessee Williams play, A Prayer for the Wild at Heart on Hurtle Square in the middle of Adelaide's CBD is a love letter to the hospitality industry. The sibling restaurant to the multi-award-winning My Kingdom for a Horse, this venue is suited to all occasions from casual catch-ups to an intimate dinner in stylish surrounds of marble, polished wood and a well-stocked bar promising a cheeky cocktail or two. Start a memorable meal with duck liver parfait on brioche fingers, before char-grilled octopus salad and harissa dressing; for the main, don’t go past Stephane’s housemade Toulouse-style sausage with mustard, shave fennel and apple, or seared duck breast with Parisian peas and orange gastrique. Those looking to share opt for beef Chateaubriand, mustard and bearnaise sauce.
