Our Story

Resting invitingly on the banks of the River Torrens, Jolleys Boathouse stands as one of the city’s most beloved restaurants, offering an enduring legacy of inspired dining and wonderful ambience.

The story of Jolleys Boathouse began in 1913, as an elegant little tearoom. At the time, Jolleys was a gathering place for boatmen and locals, serving refreshing ice creams and delightful treats. Our essence remains rooted in the tradition of bringing people together in a picturesque setting. Over the years, our unique venue has continued to evolve, offering eclectic modern cuisine of the highest quality, complemented by exemplary service.

Our prime location, nestled amongst the rowing clubs along the tranquil banks of the River Torrens, just a short stroll from the CBD and the beautiful Adelaide Oval, offers a wonderful sanctuary in which to enjoy glorious food and wine. This scenic backdrop, combined with our rich history, makes Jolleys Boathouse not just a place to dine, but a place to experience Adelaide’s enduring charm.

OUR FOOD

The talented chefs at Jolleys Boathouse take pride in crafting sophisticated dishes that are both sustainable and seasonal, while highlighting the abundance of wonderful produce South Australia has to offer.

We carefully select organic, free-range, humanely farmed animal proteins of the highest quality. Our fresh produce is locally grown with sustainability in mind, featuring an array of native Australian ingredients that bring bold, unique flavours to each dish. Supporting local artisan growers is at the heart of what we do. We value not only the incredible produce they provide, but also the stories and sustainable practices behind each one.

The kitchen at Jolleys Boathouse is an open, lively space that invites our guests into the heart of the action. From Jolleys Lane, a window offers a view into the energetic bustle of our chefs at work, and the kitchen itself is open to the restaurant, offering diners a unique opportunity to engage with our chefs and gain a deeper insight into the artistry behind their culinary creations.

We also understand the unique individual dietary requirements and preferences guests may have. Our kitchen staff will always do its utmost to accommodate all requests.

At Jolleys Boathouse, our chefs are committed to ensuring your dining experience is both memorable and satisfying.

OUR WINE & BEVERAGE OFFERINGS

At Jolleys Boathouse, we are proud to showcase the finest wines and beverages, carefully selected to complement the exceptional and unique flavours of our menu. Our wine list is a celebration of South Australia’s renowned wine regions and varietals, featuring the best of our local vineyards. From the bold reds of the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, to the crisp whites of the Clare Valley and the Adelaide Hills, our offerings reflect the diverse terroir and exceptional craftsmanship of our state.

In addition to our curated selection of South Australian wines, we offer an expansive global collection, including beloved international wines, champagnes, spirits and cocktails. Whether you’re seeking something local or a taste of the world’s finest vineyards, our wine list is designed to cater to every palate.

We know our guests have varied preferences, so we have expanded our beverage offerings to include a range of low and zero-alcohol options, ensuring that everyone can find a drink they truly enjoy, no matter their desires.
