Gramercy Bar and Kitchen completed a refurb of the space previously occupied by E Cucina late last year. I’d only been there once under that previous banner but you know how it is with so many new places opening, I just never got around to heading back. Late last year though, an opportunity presented when […]

I enjoy dessert. That amazing smell of a freshly baked cake; eagerly dipping a spoon into a rich, silky chocolate mousse; watching ice-cream indulgently melt onto a warm pie, these are things of joy to me. They make me happy. And I know that things of the sweet persuasion are not necessary every day foods, […]

Perth is awash with new venues these days and I. Just. Love. It! Something new is opening almost every other week and last week was no exception. A quaint little roof top bar with a wall of welcoming greenery and a glowing yellow sign beckoning you closer. Welcome to The Sherry. You can find this […]

I do enjoy a burger. They are filling and flavoursome and perhaps a little bit naughty when slathered with sauce and piled sky high with a thick, juicy patty, bacon, egg, cheese, fried onion rings….. You see plenty in burgers these days. Plus they obviously go hand in hand with fries on the side. I […]

Sometimes you don’t have a lot of time to grab lunch and fast, tasty and ideally healthy are fairly key search criteria. Such was my mission recently and I found myself at Exchange Plaza, so I wandered into Urban Bowl. I hadn’t heard too much about Urban Bowl other than that they were dishing up […]

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 get a little overwhelmed in food courts on occasion. I usually arrive ridiculously hungry and desperate for a tasty lunch, but then I aimlessly drift from outlet to outlet trying to decide what to have. And more often than not I’ll just stick with what I know, the old favourites, but who knows what […]

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 94,000 times in 2014. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 4 days for that many people to see […]

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 love Holy Bagel Company bagels, so when I venture to a new cafe that stocks them it is very hard to go past them! Such was the case on a recent visit to Hylin in West Leederville. A trendy new corner cafe, with vast open windows, cute potted plants and a friendly crew running […]
