My first visit to Cantina 663 was back in July last year for my ‘I’m-not-having-a-Hens-but-I’ll-go-out-for-dinner’ soiree. It was when they had a special truffle menu and it was a seriously delicious evening. Ever since that visit I had been keen to return. So when the BFF, Mrs M,  proposed a dinner catch up I suggested […]

A very special part of having a food blog is the occasional invitation you receive to head along to a new restaurant. So lovely to think that someone wants you to sample their food and share your experience with others. Such was the case when I received a dinner invitation to the recently opened No4 […]

Consistency is a wonderful thing. And I suspect this is why Sandalford winery has long been one of my favourites in the Swan Valley. Granted that it perhaps cemented itself as a favourite all the more last year when GG and I had our reception there and they did such a stellar job, but whenever […]

Well Christmas in Perth, it tends to be a hot affair and this year did not disappoint. The Christmas/New Year period delivered a blistering heatwave that left the majority melting! Christmas Day itself was just a touch under 40 degrees but I’m sure it was north of this figure further inland, for instance in the […]

For me, waking up last Saturday was magic. I felt as though I was part of two well-known stories. First off I knew I had been incredibly fortunate to be invited to quite a prestigious event, so in that regard it was sort of like I was Charlie in that Chocolate Factory tale and had […]

I turned 30 this year on a Monday and to commemorate the milestone I went out to lovely dinners on the Fridays that bookended the date. Quite indulgent, however, one only turns the big 3-0 once 🙂 So the Friday prior we headed to Jackson’s, which was lovely, a completely polished dining experience. Then the […]

Many moons ago when GG and I celebrated our second anniversary together, we booked in a special dinner at Jacksons to celebrate the occasion. This was at a time when I was starting work at 5.30am in the morning and I’ll admit that my memories of that visit are of being incredibly tired and struggling […]

As a blogger it can be particularly delightful to receive the occasional invitation to a foodie event – tis all kinds of lovely. So when I received an email with an invitation to the soft opening launch of Fuku – Omakase and Teppanyaki Restaurant including a sumptuous teppanyaki degustation dinner it was very exciting. Fuku is […]

GG and I were married in early August and as I discovered weddings, they don’t just happen. They are a lot of work and the happy couple definitely needs the help of many people. My parents were incredibly helpful and it’s so hard to know how to say thanks but we thought a nice dinner […]

Ever since I read this article I had my heart set on donning a beret and visting the joint venture of two star Frenchy french star chefs that have long since glittered on the Perth food scene, from The Loose Box, Alain Fabregues and from Choux Cafe, Emmanuel Mollois. Bistro Des Artistes is situated on Hay St […]
