I was very lucky last week to be asked to be a guest of The George to sample their newly revised Spring menu. I’d stopped by the George for a drink before and earlier in the year had been lucky enough to have previous Head Chef Telina Menzies around to my house as part of […]

Earlier in the year GG and I went along to Sittella’s annual long lunch. Amazing day and while we were there we were lucky enough to meet a lovely couple called Jodi and Alon, who were the owners and wine maker from Bella Ridge Estate (http://www.bellaridge.com.au/ ). I hadn’t tried any Bella Ridge wines before […]

I’m always excited when I stumble across one of the many voucher websites and find one for a restaurant that I’ve always really wanted to visit. Such was the case on Stardeals a few weeks back when they had one for Blackbird Restaurant in East Perth. The deal was for a ‘Gourmet Lake View Lunch […]

I’m doing a 4 week wine tasting course with GG at the moment, which starts at 6pm in Claremont. It means it a bit of a challenge for us both to fit dinner in between when we finish work and when the course starts. One our first week we headed to the Subiaco Hotel, arriving […]

I had a work lunch coming up at Little Creatures in Freo and my first thoughts were of a blue sky day with plenty of sunshine – it was going to be fabulous! However, when the day I was going actually rolled around unfortunately the weather was nothing like I had imagined. Pelting rains, squally […]

Another day, another lunch as part of the boss’s epic farewell tour. Basically he enjoyed a month of lunching and on a few occasions I was lucky enough to be invited along. One such occasion, back to back with the day I’d been to Little Creatures so it was quite the week, was at Deco […]

If not for the fact that I had made my booking on Friday night about 2 months in advance I think I would have tried to reschedule. The weather on Friday night was more than a little average. The rain was in fact torrential when GG and I arrived at the car park near Perth […]

I was reminded of the importance of quality company the other day when I went to lunch. A good friend of mine works in Subiaco so we decided we’d take advantage of the new Entertainment Book and find somewhere central to both of us and decided on Black Toms in West Perth for a Friday […]

Earlier in the year one of the Perth radio stations had a brilliant competition called Real Friends with Benefits. It was bascialy getting people to sign up to their facebook page, check out their status update, then manage to be the lucky caller through when they opened up the hotline. On one such occasion I […]

I was most pleased in recent times when I was perusing my favourite voucher websites to stumble across one for Bistro Felix. A place I had wanted to visit for ages and had never gotten around to. This deal was for $84 and for that you and your dinner partner could choose a mains and […]
