A sunny Sunday can present the perfect opportunity for an impromptu lunch excursion. Such was the case recently for GG and I and we got it in our minds that we fancied some sea-side dining. So on perusing a few menus online we decided to give Clancy’s in City Beach a whirl. We arrived nice […]

So we had spent some quality time touring the region during the day but then spent a leisurely afternoon enjoying Smith’s Beach Resort’s facilities (the movie channel may have been involved). After all this chillaxing we decided to extend this enjoyment into the evening with a visit to the new addition to the Lamont’s chain…. […]

So we’d enjoyed olive oil at Olio Bello, then tapas at Morries, wine at Must, chocolate at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory, tasty sauces and jams at Providore and our final stop was at Wills Domain for a cheese platter and to partake in some of their wine.   Located in the world famous Margaret […]

So after all of the olive oil sampling both GG and I were a little peckish and I’d heard about a popular eatery in Margaret River called Morries. Now I knew it was in Margaret River but hadn’t actually thought to memorise the address. I was hopeful it was along the main drag in Margs, […]

It was not overly surprising to venture into town last Thursday afternoon and discover ample crowds at many a popular watering hole. I was meeting up with my best friend, Mrs M, and we initially had the crazy idea of trying to get a seat at Jamie’s Italian on its opening day. On hearing rumours […]

Given that the first Sunday of April is fast approaching I wanted to let folks know about a wonderful event that Lamonts Wine Store in Cottesloe is holding…. and I’d almost expect that at this late stage that the April one could be sold out. On the first Sunday of each month Lamonts hold their […]

There’s something a little bit la-di-dah about a launch. So I was feeling a little fancy when I headed into town last Thursday for the swish soiree that The Butterworth Bar and Kitchen was putting on. It all felt a bit special to be on the guest list. In its former life The Butterworth was […]

March is ‘Eat Drink Perth’ month in Perth. A wonderful 31 days of special events at a variety of restaurants and bars, along with some big family events like the Twilight Hawkers Market, Perth Home Grown and Yum Cha in the Park. It’s brilliant and provides a great excuse to try out some of the […]

In early March it was a long weekend in Perth. I so love long weekends! The divine loveliness of that extra day off – like a special bonus, where sleep ins are the order of the day Now on the Sunday of the long weekend GG and I had headed along to Lamonts in Cottesloe […]

I am a big fan of the Brookfield Place complex. They have done such a wonderful job of putting together an amazing collection of restaurants and bars. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit a few but Bar Lafayette was one I had yet to visit. A friend of mine was across from the East and we […]
