Ain’t two ways about it, Rockingham is a hell of a long drive from home, probably just under an hour from our place. So, when GG and I headed Rocko-ward for a catch up lunch with his parents I had high hopes that the place we had chosen would warrant the slightly longer drive. I’d […]

Pinchos is a little hole in the wall tapas bar in Leederville that was previously home to Snags & Sons, both of which are from the talented Justin Bell of Jus Burgers fame. Pinchos, or Pintxos means ‘to spike’ – we’ve got lots of yummy Spanish nibbles, small to large plates & lunch options all […]

I fully appreciate the term ‘lucky country’ when GG and I take Chablis, our fearless Chihuahua to the dog beach on Sunday mornings in Summer. I live somewhere where my dog gets the most amazing stretch of coastline to sniff about and splash in the water. So very spoilt because Perth beaches are just spectacular. […]

No Mafia. Possibly the narrowest little restaurant in Northbridge, but despite its slight size it is definitely packing a punch in the food stakes. Taking inspiration from the recipes and ethos of Southern Italy, No Mafia takes a modern approach to traditional Italian Cuisine with a focus on using the best and freshest local products. The food is […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

The Standard. If I think about this relative newbie’s name, it could be considered a fairly bold proclamation. Were they saying that they were the new standard for food in Perth? Ooo la la. I liked their style and I was excited to see what standard they were setting. I had seen much social media […]

If you still have some belated Christmas or perhaps New Year entertaining to do then here’s a recipe that I just love – Pork Belly with Chilli Caramel Sauce and Fresh Herbs. This is another one that you could recently find on a recipe card in store at Belmont Forum but for those that didn’t get […]

When Perth turns on the sunshine, it is some kinda wonderful. It just makes you want to get outside and for me, I love the chance to lunch somewhere you can really soak up the Summer time magic. I enjoyed lunch at the Boulevard Hotel in Floreat recently and talk about ticking all the boxes for […]
