Situated in Port Adelaide, Adobo Co. is a new local eatery specialising in authentic Filipino homestyle food.

The Commercial Road business was started by Chris Gime at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic after he was stood down from his role as head chef at a St Kilda-based eatery.

Taking to Facebook Marketplace, Chris, with the support of wife Evelyn, began selling Filipino takeaway dishes so that he could continue doing what he loved amidst the pandemic, introducing South Australians to authentic Filipino cuisine.

Chris’ authentic recipes proved to be a hit with locals, and he soon found that he was struggling to accommodate the orders, so Adobo Co. was born.

With a focus on traditional homestyle recipes, Adobo Co.’s menu highlights the very best of the Philippines Archipelago, a region of South-East Asia that consists of over seven thousand islands.

Combining a medley of flavours, dishes include a crispy pata (pork hock) accompanied by Java Rice and a zesty coconut-soy spiced vinaigrette dipping sauce, flavourful BBQ skewers and the boneless chicken abodo, marinated overnight for optimum flavour.

The eatery’s standout dish is their Mini Boodle Fight. Aimed to be enjoyed as a group, it’s perfect for when you just can’t decide, as it features all of Adobo’s signature meals, including crispy pata, pork and prawn spring rolls, stir-fried rice noodles and BBQ pork.

If dessert is your idea of a well-balanced meal, you can even indulge in your sweet cravings with some halo halo (basically an ice cream sundae with crushed ice) or a leche flan (the Filipino equivalent of creme caramel).

Open seven days a week, indulge in some of your cravings for this delectable South-East Asian cuisine for both lunch and dinner.

With the current COVID-19 restrictions, Adobo Co offers four different sittings, with bookings essential on weekends.
