It’s always nice when someone you know has a good experience at a place and then invites you to head along with them to relive the magic. Well new magic for you and relived magic for them. Such was the invitation that GG and I received to try out Lamont’s Wine Store in Cottesloe with […]

I’ve read numerous articles about it and I can’t argue with what’s I’ve seen. It’s Viva la Revolution – there’s a been a steady wave of Frenchy French influence sweeping through the West. And I’ve had no complaints to date. I’d thoroughly enjoyed my visits to Petite Mort , was enamoured with the bistro style […]

Friday night marked the start of the WA Day Long Weekend. Good times and what better way to celebrate a 3-day break than with a dinner out with my handsome fellow. So we were booked in for a dinner at one of the fancy new establishments on the terrace – the Heritage Brasserie. I was […]

For me it’s just some kind of wonderful to know that you are booked in somewhere new and exciting for lunch. Even if it’s a work/businessy affair I tell you what, the morning just flies by when you know that come lunch time you’ll have a glass of something white in hand and the heady […]

It had been a long time, way too long since I’d last had a big bowl of beautiful ramen. In recent years, I’ve enjoyed the chilli chicken ramen from Wagamamas when I’d needed a fix, but I felt like venturing somewhere new and on a friend’s suggestion we decided to meet at Banzai Matsu Sushi in […]

For Disney fans out there I want you to think about Beauty and the Beast and that wonderful scene when they ask Belle to “Be Our Guest”. I had been singing this song in my head for the past few days since receiving an email from the team at Petite Mort asking if I would […]

Balthazar was one of those places I’ve wanted to go to for a long time and had just never gotten around to. It’s had a consistent reputation as a solid fine dining establishment for many moons now and I’ve long been keen to sample the food that warranted such longevity. The stars aligned and an […]

Many moons ago…. And we’ll say back in the day when I was spending the majority of my days in the Physics Department at Curtin, a good friend of mine and I used to be particularly partial to the gnocchi sorrentino from Siena’s in Mt Lawley. I had fond memories of our visits there over […]

GG and I do not often head out for breakfast. It’s not that we mind early starts on the weekend, but there always seems to be a bit to do in the morning, so we find ourselves more at lunch or dinner. However last Saturday we had an early appointment in Joondalup (suit fittings for […]

A nouveau wave of Mexican cuisine has washed over Perth and as a big Mexican food fan, I am all for it. Now I’d been to el PUBLICO (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2012/03/31/el-publico/), twice now actually, but a place around before this Highgate haunt was not too far down the road in Northbridge – La Cholita. I’d been keen […]
