If you're on your way to Gather Round, or already in Adelaide, this is a quick guide of where to go away from the footy.

From a Malaysian surprise to one of the best pubs in Australia (seriously), Adelaide has a lot to offer.

As a travelling journo for cricket and footy, there was always time to sample it.

Low-key Malaysian eatery in Bank St. Might seem a left-field choice, but this is a ripper, a short walk from the main train station and Adelaide Oval.

Meal of choice: Go for the fish curry with roti.
