My last attempt to dine at Five Bar had been thwarted and I’d ultimately been left lamenting what could have been….. what a time of woe it was. So when GG and I decided to try our luck at Five again on a fine Sunday lunchtime, I was unconvinced that we would be able to […]

I found out the hard way last week that if you have your heart set on somewhere for dinner and you don’t get to eat there (because it’s so incredibly busy because everyone has figured out how fab it would be to have a dinner of steak tartare, field mushrooms and a Monteith’s Pear Cider- […]

Quite high on the list of “my favourite things” along with raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens is to lunch in the Swan Valley when the skies are blue and the sun is shining. An opportunity such as this presented on Sunday. Quite delightful summer weather and as GG had given his car a […]

I had a good ol’ chat with my boss the other day who was looking for a place to take his wife for her birthday. So I started spieling off all of my faves and he asked about Petite Mort. I haven’t been was my reply, but I did follow up that it had a very […]

The deal allowed us both to select a cocktail on arrival, which was slightly different […]

I am incredibly spoilt. There’s just no two ways about it. My fellow GG is just amazing. I am the luckiest girl in the world. So I may have mentioned to him my wishlist of dining places for my upcoming 29th birthday…. at the top of the list was Dear Friends. I was lucky enough […]

A few months or so back the radio at work was tund to 96fm and one of the competitions which they ran in an effort to keep people listening all day was to name a Song of the Day in the morning and then when you heard it later in the afternoon you needed to […]
