AURORA Restaurant at ILA

We had our monthly anniversary dinner here last night and had an amazing experience. We have been to many establishments and this place is definitely up there in the top few. The food was thoughtfully curated and balance of flavour was perfect. The ambience was just nice, semi fine dining semi casual and relaxed. And to top it off, the highlight of the night was our waiter Aaron who was exceptional in every sense ! 6 stars for Aaron. Will definitely be back.

Thank you Aurora for an unforgettable Wedding Anniversary celebration. The food was incredible, so unique, creative, an absolute work of art! The service was fantastic. Aaron was so knowledgeable in his explanation of the dishes, the components in them and how they were cooked. His wine suggestions were also en pointe. Definitely worth the travel from the Gold Coast. A very special evening.

Best restaurant I’ve been to (and I’m including half of Europe)!! Incredible food and wine, absolutely flawless service, really great vibe (not too loud either). Staff knew exactly what they were doing, chefs and wait staff all completely in sync and calm. Food was divine and unique with wonderfully paired wine. Worked around dietries without any issue and made me a birthday plate. New favourite and worth the (fair) cost

I had the pleasure of attending Aurora / ILA's Winter Forest Immersive Table recently and had a brilliant experience! There were several highlights of the evening, the first of which was the food. We enjoyed a 5-course meal, with some favourite courses being the "perfect egg" entree, the duck breast main, and the quince-based dessert. There were no faults: the dishes were incredibly unique, tasty, and memorable. The service was also top-tier. We had a few servers at our table throughout the evening, all of whom were personable, attentive, and engaging. And the host of the evening, Aaran, did a great job at setting the tone of the evening and guiding everyone through the courses. Lastly, the setting was amazing. The VFX elements, music, table settings, and floral arrangements were all excellent and rounded out the experience well. 10/10 experience, and I'd highly recommend Aurora to anyone!

I took my partner here for our four year anniversary, and we found the food delicious, modern, fresh and highly creative. Service was highly attentive, and the decor and atmosphere were fantastic. We chose the five course dégustation menu, and every dish was original, interesting and thoughtfully crafted. The kangaroo dish was unique with a careful blend of Mediterranean and South East Asian flavours. The market fish (Murray Cod) with horseradish sauce was impeccably fresh and perfectly cooked. One dish in particular, the duck with pickled red cabbage, brought back memories of my time living in Franconia in Southern Germany. When I mentioned this to waiter, he told us the head chef is from Southern Germany. Only someone truly connected with German cuisine could have crafted such a dish. Of the fine dining experiences I've had in Adelaide, Aurora may be the finest. It easily competes with Michelin Star restaurants that we've experienced in Europe. We'll definitely be coming back.

I was looking forward to dining at Aurora and I was delighted with the experience! The atmosphere, service and food were all excellent. Presentation, attention to detail and flavours all hit the mark. Each dish was a unique experience...all 5 of them.. well, actually 7 + the house made olive scroll to start. All accompanied by matching wines which were interesting and complimentary. Best of all, when the bill came we felt like the experience was very much worth it! Well done to all the staff...we hope you are part of the Adelaide dining scene for a long time to come... we're already planning our next visit!

Great dining experience at aurora. The atmosphere was elegant, but the service was just ok. The lady with red hair ignored us multiple times when we tried to order even though she was next to our table and looking at us. The main courses were truly the highlight—full of bold, well-balanced flavours and beautifully plated. I especially enjoyed the steak, which was tender, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. The desserts were just as impressive. The apple dessert in particular was a standout—creative, comforting, and absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. It’s the kind of place where you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for refined, flavour-forward dining in Adelaide
