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 […]

As soon as I had heard that Chef Paul Zammit had opened a new restaurant I couldn’t wait to get there. When I found out that it was opening so close to home I literally couldn’t believe my luck!  I had the chance to try Chef Paul’s food at two of his previous venues – […]

Hip hip hurray and a very happy birthday to Public House. The youngest venue in the Publican Groups WA stable, it has a real South American flare. This was the inspiration for their first birthday party. Each guest received a passport when they arrived which took you on a tour of South America. As you […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Amani Bar & Kitchen is a small bar in Leederville and honestly if you weren’t really on the lookout for it, it would be quite easy to walk right past it. It has such a narrow little shop front, I’d guess like 5 metres across if that, but I’m a terrible judge on distances. But […]

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury paired up to sing the beautiful duet ‘Under Pressure’… it’s super catchy and epic and it builds beautifully. So in a random link to pressure, talk about the pressure for the crew opening their new venue in the space previously occupied by Jacksons. Oh yes, the space synonymous with a […]

I had a good ol’ chat with my boss the other day who was looking for a place to take his wife for her birthday. So I started spieling off all of my faves and he asked about Petite Mort. I haven’t been was my reply, but I did follow up that it had a very […]
