Hey everyone! Just had the most delightful experience at Hey Jupiter Brasserie Française in Adelaide, and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Nestled in the heart of Ebenezer Place, Hey Jupiter is more than just a café—it’s an experience. If you haven’t strolled down this charming, leafy red brick laneway, you’re missing out on one of Adelaide’s gems. Ebenezer Place connects Rundle Street and Union Street and is closed to traffic, making it a peaceful oasis. This spot is packed with some of Adelaide’s coolest and quirkiest cafés and independent boutiques, offering one of the city’s most unique shopping experiences.
Bonjour to Hey Jupiter
Hey Jupiter started as a quaint café back in 2012 and evolved into the fabulous Hey Jupiter Brasserie Française in 2017. This authentic Parisian-style brasserie captures the best of French gastronomy and joie de vivre!
Whether you’re in the mood for a buttery croissant in the morning, a classic steak frites with a glass of vin rouge for lunch, or fancy some afternoon cocktails with charcuterie and freshly shucked oysters on their sunny terrace, Hey Jupiter has you covered. They also serve an all-day breakfast with Champagne on the weekends and a multi-course dinner with an extensive wine list throughout the week.
I personally enjoyed a wonderful brunch with their delicious croissants, perfectly cooked eggs, and a glass of bubbly. The atmosphere is old-timey and charming, with a bar and outdoor seating that makes you feel like you’ve been transported to a little corner of France.
Sipping on the Finest Wines
One of the highlights at Hey Jupiter is their extensive wine list, specializing in French wines with a focus on biodynamic and natural selections. Their temperature-controlled Vintec ensures every glass is served at the perfect 12 degrees Celsius. They feature hard-to-get wines from some of France’s cult producers like Maison Overnoy and Domaine Gramenon, and they also celebrate local wine producers like BK Wines and Ochota Barrels.
Using the Coravin pouring system, they regularly offer these rare wines by the glass, which is a treat for any wine enthusiast. Besides wine, they have a wide selection of French beer, pastis, Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, and whiskeys.
Why You Should Visit
The friendly staff at Hey Jupiter truly make the experience special. Their warm welcome and impeccable service make you feel right at home. So, if you find yourself in Adelaide, especially around the East End, do yourself a favor and visit Hey Jupiter. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you’ll be greeted with a welcoming “Santé” and “Bon Appétit!”
So, come say “Bonjour” or “Bonsoir” at Hey Jupiter, the East End’s little corner of France. You won’t be disappointed!
