It can be tricky business sometimes when you end up having a late lunch and know you have dinner plans, so you really need to curtail normal ordering habits. Such was the conundrum (and first world problem) I experienced on Saturday. GG and I had spent a few hours shopping in the big city and […]

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 […]

It was my birthday the other week. Older yes, but I would venture not a whole lot wiser. But I’m fine with that, perhaps wisdom is something I’ll grow into. I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing day. Well, relaxing except for the hour of personal training which was entirely focused on legs and introduced me to […]

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. […]

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 […]

I hadn’t been to Ace Pizza in a year and I was reminded this week just how great it is. It has actually been exactly a year because Ace has become my Dad’s birthday dinner place of choice and myself and the rest of the family are very happy about that. Because it is just […]

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 […]
