For Christmas GG’s sister gave us a voucher to head along for a Speed Grazing Tour of the Swan Valley. It sounded interesting and the food element sounded right up our alley so I made a booking for what seemed like was way in the future, but soon enough April rolled around and it was […]

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, […]

After such a huge day on the Saturday, GG and I decided that for our second full day down south, we would take ourselves on a ‘make your own foodie adventure’ and head towards Margaret River for some lunch.

I’ve enjoyed previous visits to Duende, so when I heard the crew behind Duende had launched a new venue in West Perth I was keen to visit. There seemed to be quite a buzz about the place and I’ll admit that when I saw a few pics of Gordon St Garage pop up on Instagram […]

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 […]

This is a relatively short post but I felt that mention had to be made of pizza at the Royal. Now I can only vouch for two flavours, but I have to say they do a really lovely job and it’s such a pretty spot for a slice of pizza and a beverage. Served as […]

There is something just so Aussie about the fact that we lucky folk can partake in eating our national emblem if the mood so takes – I love a sunburnt country! And as Australia Day is just around the corner Grill’d has come to the party with a new burger available for a limited time […]
