Bada Bing Cafe is one of the most memorably friendliest places I have eaten at in a while. The staff are all so pleasant and the smiles on their faces suggest to me that they really do enjoy where they work and that’s always a delight to see. Back in the day, many, many moons […]

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 […]

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 […]

Until recently, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you the last time I went for a picnic. I remember going on plenty with my family as a youth but now that I’m all grown up, it isn’t something GG and I have rushed to do. Truth be told, I’m not much of an outdoorsy […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
