This name encapsulates our concept of creating a Latin American tapas bar and deli that brings together and shares with the Adelaide community a fusion of South American cuisine, music, and folklore.  We aim to offer a global gastronomic experience, a fusion of traditional Latin flavors with a contemporary Australian edge.

Chefs in contemporary restaurants are now showcasing traditional products such as alpaca meat, grains like quinoa and kiwicha, and unusual root vegetables such as yuca and maca in sophisticated new ways. Many of these simple traditional foods have now been discovered as superfoods. With the rising popularity of South American superfoods, it is prime timing to launch a business such as Cumbia. The prominent Adelaide Central Market allows us to bring an exciting new offering to a large and diverse audience.

We look to bring a unique selection of Latin American tastes and cooking traditions to the multicultural blend that already exists within the Central Market. In the process, we seek to engage both the internal market and Grote Street entrances with the tenancy by creating a vibrant and inviting interior, rich with South American imagery and culture. We are proposing a licensed premise that not only offers tapas-style meals but also stocks a range of deli products for purchase.
