The benefit of a work lunch can be twofold – firstly the chance for a temporary sojourn from the daily grind and in some instances also the chance to try somewhere new. Such was the case on a recent work lunch at Firewater Grille, a new addition to the Duxton Hotel. They’ve gone with quite […]

I recently received an email asking me to hold the date for a Bloggers Dinner that was being put on at the Naked Fig. How delightful! Always nice to try somewhere that I haven’t been before and such a treat to be invited! Especially in the presence of some fellow bloggers Now as mentioned I […]

I bought a Scoopon Voucher a while back for a Twilight Dinner at Hippo Creek in Subiaco. It was described as a 4 course affair which started with half a dozen oysters, before moving on to a shared tasting plate. Then there were a few choices for mains, a shared dessert and a bottle of […]

Have you ever been to a restaurant and looked over the menu and faced a massive dilemma about what to choose because there are so many delicious sounding options available? What if you didn’t have to? What if someone said “Well instead of choosing how about you get to try every entrée and every main […]

Gino’s Spaghetti Bar has been one of those places that I have driven past about a zillion times and always meant to visit. It’s so close to home and despite hearing some really positive things about it I’d never managed to get there. Recently though a friend asked for a few ideas for local Italian […]

My GG has a massive appreciation for all things steak. We’ve been to a few steak places around town – Hippo Creek, Squires Loft…. Not Rockpool as yet though. Well GG has for one of their high acclaimed waygu burgers but I digress. There was a new addition to the Beaufort St strip called Bos […]

We are being spoilt with some incredibly lovely weather in Perth in the last week or so and often when I sit at my desk at work, I look out the window and I wish I could go out to lunch somewhere fabulous. Well I got my wish on Thursday, as there was a fellow […]

What can I say….. I like to visit different restaurants and when my sister offered me the chance to use a voucher she’d bought on deals and wasn’t going to be able to use before it expired, well I wasn’t going to say no. Perhaps if I’d visited urbanspoon before I’d accepted this voucher and […]

When I drive straight to the gym from work I generally drive down Fitzgerald Street and have been watching over the past few months as they give the Hyde Park Hotel a much needed facelift. I’d only been there once, years and years ago and had memories of it being a bit of a drive. […]

I was very lucky the other week and with thanks to http://www.tweetperth.com.au won a seat for myself and GG at the @tweetperth table at the re-opening night of Outback Jacks in Northbridge. I’d enjoy my last (and first) visit to OBJs in Rockingham recently (http://perthmunchkin.com/2011/07/31/outback-jacks-rockingham/). Good steaks, friendly service and perfect for families. So it […]
