"Meat pie adrift in a bowl of warm pea soup, smothered in tomato sauce – awesome!"

Mimi Sheraton

"Pie floaters are still dished up at several restaurants in Adelaide today. No wonder - with its offbeat sensibility and cold-weather appeal, the floater is due for a street-food revival. Where: In Adelaide, Bakery on O'Connell."

"This shop puts out an extremely good floater, and although I don’t like peas, the flavor combination of meat pie and split pea soup was quite unique, in a good way."

Lindsay Harvey

"Sometimes the best dishes are the ones you crave after a hard night of drinking. And that is exactly what the pie floater is. This dish consists of a beef pie that is turned upside down in a thick pea soup. It’s working class food at its best. The best place to try this dish? At Bakery on O’Connell. the self-proclaimed home of the pie floater."

"The real reason you’re here at 3 am is to experience a ‘pie floater’ – a meat pie adrift in a bowl of green pea soup, smothered with tomato sauce. Magic!"

Xtreme Foodies

"The meat pie was turned upside down and submerged within a pool of green pea soup. The tomato sauce added an extra layer of sweetness and punch and the peas were seasoned well. The hidden pie was tasty with a piping hot center of meat filling."
