How to spend the perfect day on The Parade

With more than 60 restaurants and cafes, dozens of boutique shopping options and a welcoming, cosmopolitan atmosphere, The Parade has something for everyone.

Rather than a single standout business, it's the unique blend of cuisine, culture and community within easy walking distance that makes it one of Adelaide's most vibrant precincts.

With so much variety on offer, it's easy to combine shopping, socialising and self-care into one satisfying day.

Here's how to plan your perfect day on The Parade:

 

For Her

Start with lunch at the iconic Argo On The Parade, where fresh, colourful dishes packed with whole ingredients are as nourishing as they are delicious.

Whether you're grabbing a creamy coconut collagen smoothie or a hearty salad bowl, each thoughtfully crafted meal balances proteins, healthy fats and carbohydrates to provide long-lasting energy.

Sit inside to find an oasis of calm, or grab one of the shaded outdoor tables and add a little people watching to the menu.

Once you've fuelled up, stroll down Adelaide's premier shopping street to make sure you look as good as you feel.

The Parade is lined with small, family-owned boutiques stocking exclusive designers, so choosing where to start is part of the fun.

Aqua Boutique always stocks a wide range of new arrivals, and the friendly staff can help you create the perfect outfit.

From showstopping statement pieces to chic everyday wear, every rack is packed with glamorous looks for a dose of retail therapy that will leave you bouncing.

Once you've refreshed your wardrobe, do the same for your skin with a pampering session at Urban Glow's new skin and beauty clinic.

If you have time, unwind with a rejuvenating peel that includes a signature facial massage and hydrating mask for soft, radiant skin.

Or for a quick glow up, head to the nail bar for an express manicure that includes shaping, polishing and a relaxing hand massage in just half an hour. 

Then wrap things up with a glass of wine at the latest addition to Norwood's thriving al fresco dining scene.

Starting life as a cafe each morning, Eccomi transforms into a sophisticated bar where you can hear the sound of corks popping and glasses clinking beneath the soft hum of conversation.

Order a round of prosecco or one of the six spritzes on the menu, then sit back and start planning your next stop for dinner.

 

For Him

Start your perfect day on the right foot with an espresso made from freshly roasted beans at The Grind @ Norwood.

With more than 40 varieties of beans, you'll find the perfect coffee for every taste, from floral, fruit-fruity blends to intensely dark roasts that are strictly for caffeine fiends.

Or you can opt for the Supa Crema house blend featuring beans from Kenya, Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica for a rich, satisfying crema and a smooth caramel finish.

Once you're suitably caffeinated, wander down to The Fellow Barber for a little grooming.

This stylish space blends traditional barber services with a modern edge, offering everything from quick cuts to super-smooth fades and the old school luxury of a hot towel shave.

Whether you stop in for a quick tidy-up or a completely new look, the friendly team will make sure you walk out ready to tackle the day with confidence.

The next step is finding an outfit to match your look, and ORTC keeps the experience light and easy.

Since 2016, the South Australian label has been providing stylish gents with outfits that pair thoughtful designs with a timeless aesthetic.

The flagship store reflects that philosophy with a range of stylish staples made with natural and recycled fabrics that are designed to last.

As the day winds down, make your way to The Bath Hotel for a classic front bar experience.

There's always a member of the friendly Franzon-Lewis family behind the bar and a game on the big screen.

All you need to do is decide whether to treat yourself to half a dozen Smoky Bay oysters and a glass of crisp Watervale Riesling, or go for a crispy parmigiana washed down with an ice-cold pint.
