I have vague memories of visiting the Court Hotel but it would have been years ago, before their big refurb and it was only for a drink. So a recent invitation to their Summer Menu Launch was a welcome opportunity to check out this Perth institution.   The weather was some kind of Summer wonderful […]

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’d never been to Joondalup Resort before but I was invited along a cheese dinner they were holding at their Bistro 38 Restaurant in partnership with Yarra Valley Dairy. And I was pretty excited because I am a long time appreciator of cheese 🙂 Set amongst lush emerald fairways and natural bushland at Joondalup Resort, Bistro 38 […]

High tea is an indulgently lovely way to spend a few leisurely hours, chatting with great friends while sipping tea and enjoying an elegant tower of sweets and savouries. Throw in free flowing sparkling and celebrity chef and Dilmah ambassador Peter Kuruvita and you’ve got yourself a very special afternoon ahead. I was recently invited […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

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 […]

The Swan Valley is a stunning part of Western Australia and for those who live in Perth, it’s literally right on our door step! An abundance of amazing wineries, brilliant restaurants and cafes, a range of different gourmet producers and also a Golf Resort that has long been part of the Swan Valley landscape. The […]

The benefit of a work lunch can be twofold – firstly the chance for a temporary sojourn from the daily grind and in some instances also the chance to try somewhere new. Such was the case on a recent work lunch at Firewater Grille, a new addition to the Duxton Hotel. They’ve gone with quite […]

GG’s birthday is actually on March 18th so I knew when the Monday rolled around, which was the last day of our South West mini break, that I wanted to book in somewhere special for us. Now an incredibly special spot in the South West is Cape Lodge. In my mind, just wistfully wanting over […]
