I loved everything about my visit to Mandoon Estate. The weather was perfect which just showcased what a sensational new venue it is. Then there was the service, which was incredibly friendly and also well versed as to any intricacies of the menu. The two wines we sampled – the Reserve Sparkling and the Reserve […]

I am such a massive fan of Crown Perth. Now I’m no gambler, so I’ll admit that the casino side of things doesn’t do a lot for me but what a completely stellar job has been done of putting together an entirely impressive line-up of beautiful eateries! I’ve done my best to work my way […]

I love food. Like so very, very much. It brings me joy to sample a carefully crafted canapé, enjoy fun and creative flavours in a dish, marvel at the wonder of fresh, local produce or be presented with an incredibly beautiful meal. Happy, happy sighs. Chefs are such artists. And we are a lucky bunch […]

I tried to go to Marumo last year when I first heard about it. A hidden gem tucked away in what had previously been a Leeming fish and chip shop, that was serving up amazing Japanese food. Now last year in May I had secured a booking for late November. Yep that’s how long their wait list was, […]

Recently I waxed lyrical about the sublime delight that is Pemberton Finger Limes. So if you’d seen that you can appreciate that I’m a pretty big fan of these zesty spherical wonders. So it was wonderful to recently head along to the Terrace Hotel to see them showcase this WA treasure in a series of […]

April is a big month for Perth foodies. It signals the arrival of the Eat Drink Perth festival. It’s an impressive line up of degustation and progressive dinners, family style events, cooking demonstrations and even a massive and sure to be delicious food truck rumble – definitely something for everyone! To kick off this month long […]

On my first visit to Rockpool I was fairly underwhelmed. So much so that I didn’t have dessert for fear of further disappointment. I know, me, not having dessert! It doesn’t make sense. But I now suspect it may have been some ordering choices that were the primary drivers behind this initial impression. I recently […]
