the perfect addition to the studio “We really wanted to have a space where the community and our clients could come in before and after class to sit we noticed a lot of our clients after classes going

Aleenta over ten years ago “I’ve owned Endota spas for twenty years, but ten years ago when I had young kids at home and didn’t have as much time for myself and movement, I really wanted to create a space to workout that you loved going to “There are lots of beautiful studios today There were gyms but that was about it in Adelaide It was really about creating a space for people to prioritise themself and their movement.” The new beautiful Mawson Lakes studio is the latest addition to Kylie’s lineup but they’re no strangers to the area “We’ve actually been in Mawson Lakes for ten years

force behind it is passionate 16-year-old The Adelaide-born Italian has been working his way through the hospitality industry since he was 13 and immediately realised this was the pathway for him although I was born in Adelaide and grew up here my whole life,” Carlo says “I’m only 16 years old and I started in hospitality when I was 13 Back then I wanted to be a tradie when I finished school “I started out clearing tables and washing dishes in a café and within two years I had grown from that to being the café manager and able to do all positions within the cafe at only 15 “From there I knew this is what I wanted to do forever I approached the owner of the café I worked for who is an Italian chef from Italy with over 10 years of industry experience (even at a Michelin Star restaurant in Italy) and said I wanted to own my own place “He is my mentor and is mentoring me every step of the way in my journey of opening Franco’s Deli physically doing the work ourselves – one thing he’s taught me is hard work always pays off,.” Mawson Lakes seemed like the perfect location for the Deli “I haven’t seen any good quality so I knew I had to bring something to Mawson Lakes,” Carlo says Carlo’s education under the eye of his mentor has brought with it a passion for authentic Italian flavours youthful environment is what will make Franco’s stand out “We are bringing an authentic Italian sandwich shop doing amazing Focaccia sandwiches with the highest quality products,” Carlo says “We will have the best coffee you’ve tasted and delicious cakes fun environment and beautiful new

unfamiliar territory and want to know where to go for great food and community vibes People will rarely reward a venue with loyalty for serving a single positive attribute Only when these elements combine will you find a joint buzzing day after day It becomes a gathering place where locals congregate for food We discovered exactly this at Relish on Main Urban Diner in Mawson Lakes Relish on Main Urban Diner sits on a street corner at the end of a beautiful with Mawson Lake before it and an urban shopping hub behind it making it the perfect location to top up your stomach While its prime lakeside location has made it an easy go-to for the Mawson Lake Parkrun crowd welcoming team are responsible for securing its role as Parkrun’s official fuelling station pouring their post-run coffees for the last seven years Inspired by their healthy reputation via association and propelled by grumbling stomachs due to a late start (hence no breakfast) we strolled in just after the busy lunch crowd had polished off their plates Upon expressing our delight at having scored a perfect window seat for two Café Manager Danni commented that their generous seating meant that a table or two is usually free unless you appear “… on a Saturday morning when this place is heaving with the Parkrun community It’s just amazing in here when they flow through the doors!” sharing her insights into their most beloved menu items including their All-Day Breakfasts that you can order at whatever time you desire “… our Big Brekkie is very popular because it’s literally a very big breakfast but it’s also open to variations.  You can switch it to a vegetarian or a vegan version We also incorporate a wide selection of dietary requirements at all times of the day; it doesn’t matter how busy we are”.    For those who’ve struggled with the ‘no menu adjustment’ notifications on other café menus which present enjoyment hurdles for those with dietary requirements this ‘no worries’ approach is heaven-sent some of our more popular meals include our Burgers Our salads are also at the top of our orders especially the Avo Chicken’n’Mango salad Our protein smoothies are the go-to option for our customers who want a super quick and nourishing stomach filler along with our Toasted Sandwiches” In addition to their regular crowd going about their daily business Relish on Main also provides nourishment for the students and staff flowing out of nearby Uni SA including the customers and staff from the local physiotherapy pilates and allied health clinics.   “Quite a lot of our menu items can be made fresh with a relatively quick turnaround so we’re a great option for anyone wanting a quick drop-in or takeaway meal We belong to a friendly community that supports each other I love that I recognise so many of our customers and can pre-empt their regular orders for them.”“Our local business teams will often pop in to grab a quick coffee or takeaway meal on some days they’ll book one of our private dining areas so their whole team can sit down for a meal together Booking the private dining spaces is free of charge Given that weekday breakfasts are often raced meals an essential pit stop to bust hunger and score a burst of energy for the morning ahead the idea of a late afternoon breakfast felt like the perfect blend of novelty and nourishment we selected a Big Vegan Breaky and a dairy-free version of the Kranky Pig Burritto we watched the Sunday afternoon cruisers strolling around the lake while seagulls darted above and ducks paddled along the water.   It was a sunny day outside so the alfresco area became a watering hole for the local dogs who had taken their humans out for a walk while the weather was on their side Both meals received a double thumbs up for fresh flavours top-notch preparation (extra points for zero-greasiness) Because we were in a pancake lover’s paradise we shared a plate of banana pancakes that were so warm and fluffy that I almost wished I was small enough to snuggle in between them and fall asleep again Danni offered to pack the remainder of our meal into an eco-friendly container to be enjoyed at leisure later in the day Had I not inhaled a mug full of their dark but this mug of heavenly comfort was too delish to resist The first few sips were already rich and smooth a thick layer of velvety dark deliciousness swirled up With a menu packed with everyone’s favourites from breakfast through dinner and their mouth-watering “Desserts by Indulge” menu Relish on Main is an easy win for small and big groups alike.   Please
