What Fernando G doesn't like about Apothecary 1878:
Intimate space. Good service. Prawns a little dry. Lamb course followed by beef main course unusual choice in chef selection. Fish instead of lamb or chicken would have been better choice. View all feedback. What agitlits likes about Apothecary 1878:
The food and service were very good to excellent. The wait to get someone to take order was a bit long but not too bad. Definitely would be back and worth a visit. View all feedback.

APOTECA is a small and intimate restaurant that was highly recommended on TripAdvisor. Despite some initial setbacks, such as a noisy cellar seating area and some unprofessional service, the owner Paula ensured a pleasant dining experience. The food was described as delicious and reasonably priced. Another reviewer enjoyed the desserts and wine in a relaxing atmosphere. While some found the service poor and the portion sizes too large, others praised the excellent food and service. Overall, APOTECA offers inspired cooking, good local wines, and a vintage ambiance, making it a top choice for a special evening out in Adelaide.
