When GG and I went to New York in 2012, one of my favourite memories is waking up on our first morning after the epic 24 hours of flying and making our way to Tom’s Restaurant for a proper American diner breakfast. For Seinfeld fans you’ll know that the Tom’s façade was Monks in the […]

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 […]

And so continued the breakfast bruschetta battle last week when I made a highly anticipated return to Sayers Sisters in Northbridge. Highly anticipated because Sayers are a consistent performer in the breakfast stakes, whether at this sister venue or their originals Sayers Food in Leederville. I think the fit out of Sayers Sisters is just […]

I am definitely partial to eating out but some weeks there’s a few more dining out events dotted on the calendar than others. Recently I had back to back breakfasts booked in for a Thursday and Friday morning. And of all the meals I eat out if say that breakfast is the least common. But […]

Winter had officially rolled into town on Tuesday night. It was freezing in Perth. I’d say definitely below 10 degrees and don’t get me started on the wind chill factor. Don’t get me started because a) I don’t really know much about it and b) in my expert opinion the wind chill factor was sub […]

I tried to go to Marumo last year when I first heard about it. A hidden gem tucked away in what had previously been a Leeming fish and chip shop, that was serving up amazing Japanese food. Now last year in May I had secured a booking for late November. Yep that’s how long their wait list was, […]

NOTE: Please be advised that I believe that this venue is no longer operational Many amongst us love to combine food an entertainment. For those people, a new feature on the Perth scene is Hello Hollywood. A revamp of the previous Don Camillio Italian Restaurant and Function Centre on the corner of Amelia Street and Wanneroo […]

The Cabin is a restaurant along the Scarborough Beach Road strip that I have long wanted to go to. I finally got there last Thursday – woohoo! It’s a really lovely place to visit in wintery weather months. Yes I know that last Thursday was still officially Autumn but Winter was just around the corner. […]

For as long as I can remember Rendezvous in Scarborough has always been there. It’s as synonymous to the suburb as the blue house once was. I have two great memories of what I suspect I’ll always refer to as ‘Observation City’ or Ob City actually because I’m an Aussie and if we can abbreviate, […]
