My memories of the Leederville Hotel back in the day (uni days for me) are that it was quite the seedy affair – the ‘seedy Leedy’. A vast venue that was fairly dark, a little dingy, but nonetheless not a bad spot for a dance on their signature sticky floors after a few drinks. I can’t […]

Wednesday. Not a bad day, you’ve made it to the half way mark of the working week. ‘Hump Day’ some call it because the downhill slide to the weekend is on! So if you’re in the mood to celebrate this fact and do something a little bit fun, different and entirely delicious then the new […]

Throughout 2014 Maurizio’s Restaurant is holding an amazing line up for degustation dinners showcasing a different region of Italy. They will be held on Saturdays and kick off on March 8th with Puglia and run through to November. This evening in the car park next door to Maurizio they held their Il Giro D’Italia Festival from 4pm […]

I recently went to a good friend’s BBQ and I was assigned starters. I quite like that arrangement. Not putting all the pressure on the person whose house it is to do it all and everyone does a little bit and by our powers combined it all just gets done. Like Captain Planet and his […]

I really like websites like Bookarestaurant or Dimmi. They are so efficient. They make the whole reservation process a lot easier and swifter in the event you try and book somewhere and you can’t get in, then you have a whole list of other places to could try instead – all about efficiency. An added bonus on […]

The Stables Bar has probably been open close to a year… I think. Maybe it hasn’t been that long, but it has long been on my list of places I wanted to go and I had just never got around to. Thankfully though I finally made it there last weekend and it was wonderful! It was […]

Thank you Clint Nolan for the next instalment in your Perth small bar series. In a suite that already includes such gems as Whose Your Mumma in Freo and La Cholita in Northbridge, the newest addition is called Pleased to Meet You. Also located in Northbridge, it looks fairly inconspicuous at its home at 38 Roe […]

Public House is perched on the corner of Adelaide Terrace and Victoria Avenue in town and it’s a fabulous addition to the East Perth fringe. It’s the newest venue for the talented Publican Group which has also brought to Perth – The George, The Bryneleigh, The Aviary and also Wolf Lane. In mid November I was asked […]

I have wanted to go to Nahm Thai for what seems like forever. A few years ago for a friend’s birthday there was an elaborate rouse that a group of her friends were going to head to Nahm Thai for dinner but in actual fact we were throwing her a surprise 29th party so we […]
