There probably aren’t too many restaurateurs who would open their third venue and then immediately launch into their fourth. A really ambitious fourth at that. But such is the drive of Andy Freeman and Sam Astbury that the business partners and their team took it all in their stride when they recently opened The Flour Factory. […]

Until last week I knew I was a fan of fungi but I didn’t have much of an appreciation for the power of the mighty mushroom. I was invited along to a fundraising dinner that the Mushroom Growers Association held in support of the Australian Cancer Council at the Pavilion Restaurant at the West Coast Institute […]

I just love to visit a new eatery. All the more so when it’s the second venue for a place I already like, because I figure if I like the first place then invariably I will like the second. So when the illustrious Five Bar crew recently opened Lot Twenty (I like the number theme […]

I am so entirely on board with pre-work breakie catch ups with friends. Life is such a blur these days and sometimes finding time after work can be a battle, so it is lovely to have a fellow early bird who doesn’t mind setting the alarm for 6am for a 7 o’clock breakfast kick off. […]

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 […]

On recent trips to the Morley Galleria, I had spied a relatively new place that seemed to be pulling massive crowds. It was called The Wang’s Treasure House and it was getting quite the reputation for offering tasty yum cha on the weekends. I can’t say I have yum cha’d too often but I was […]

I love food. Like so very, very much. It brings me joy to sample a carefully crafted canapé, enjoy fun and creative flavours in a dish, marvel at the wonder of fresh, local produce or be presented with an incredibly beautiful meal. Happy, happy sighs. Chefs are such artists. And we are a lucky bunch […]

I am a massive fan of Brookfield Place. They have done such wonderful work in creating a high quality dining precinct with some real top end eateries. Way back in the day I went to the Trustee. I actually think I had lunch there the first week it opened. And since then I’ve called in […]

Perth in Spring is just beautiful. Call me biased as a life time resident, but it is a pretty darn impressive spot. There’s an abundance of blue skies and sunshine and a perfect place to enjoy such stellar weather is perched by the seaside for a meal. So on a particularly pleasant Sunday, GG and […]

The Meatball Bar is on the way! As soon as I heard a restaurant devoted to meatballs was opening in Perth, it bumped itself to the top of my ‘I really want to eat at this place’ list. I’m not entirely sure why. I mean I do like meatballs but more than anything I had […]
