GG and I have been together now for more than 3 years – amazing to me, where does the time go! And our first every degustation meal together was for his 29th birthday and we went to Divido. It’s a fairly small restaurant, quaint you could say or maybe cosy is a better word, and […]

In what was to be my last lunch with my old boss as part of his farewell tour I had a lunch lined up with him and a client at In Contro the week after he had lef (because his calendar had been so full on the down hill slide to his departure hes had […]

Five Bar has long been on a list on places I’d like to visit but had just never gotten around to. Tres slack of me I know. But on Sunday afternoon, I’d ticked the running box and had thought that I had wanted to visit the Good Food and Wine show. But as I drove […]

The second week of GG and my wine course rolled around before we knew it and this week for our quick dinner venture we headed to The Vic. They don’t start serving dinner til 5pm on a Wednesday but after realising how close Claremont actually was we knew we’d have plenty of time. I’ve been […]

I’m doing a 4 week wine tasting course with GG at the moment, which starts at 6pm in Claremont. It means it a bit of a challenge for us both to fit dinner in between when we finish work and when the course starts. One our first week we headed to the Subiaco Hotel, arriving […]

This is spicy pork. A favourite of many a gent in my office. I’ve only had it on two occasions in my life and this time it was because the boss was leaving and it was his favourite Friday fare. So the new work team wandered down the road to the West Perth food court. […]

There’s been a place high on my Perth restaurant wish list for a while now. Touted as the best BYO Restaurant in Australia it’s a wonder it’s taken me so long to get there. I was all the more sold on the idea of a visit after sampling some of Head Chef Stephen Clarke’s wares […]

A lovely lady, E, who I know had recently returned for a two year adventure in Europe with her man in tow. From all accounts they had an incredible time and I am envious of all the fantastic places they have been and some of the incredible places they got to eat at (of most […]

I had a work lunch coming up at Little Creatures in Freo and my first thoughts were of a blue sky day with plenty of sunshine – it was going to be fabulous! However, when the day I was going actually rolled around unfortunately the weather was nothing like I had imagined. Pelting rains, squally […]
