It was not overly surprising to venture into town last Thursday afternoon and discover ample crowds at many a popular watering hole. I was meeting up with my best friend, Mrs M, and we initially had the crazy idea of trying to get a seat at Jamie’s Italian on its opening day. On hearing rumours […]

Given that the first Sunday of April is fast approaching I wanted to let folks know about a wonderful event that Lamonts Wine Store in Cottesloe is holding…. and I’d almost expect that at this late stage that the April one could be sold out. On the first Sunday of each month Lamonts hold their […]

There’s something a little bit la-di-dah about a launch. So I was feeling a little fancy when I headed into town last Thursday for the swish soiree that The Butterworth Bar and Kitchen was putting on. It all felt a bit special to be on the guest list. In its former life The Butterworth was […]

March is ‘Eat Drink Perth’ month in Perth. A wonderful 31 days of special events at a variety of restaurants and bars, along with some big family events like the Twilight Hawkers Market, Perth Home Grown and Yum Cha in the Park. It’s brilliant and provides a great excuse to try out some of the […]

In early March it was a long weekend in Perth. I so love long weekends! The divine loveliness of that extra day off – like a special bonus, where sleep ins are the order of the day 🙂 Now on the Sunday of the long weekend GG and I had headed along to Lamonts in […]

I am a big fan of the Brookfield Place complex. They have done such a wonderful job of putting together an amazing collection of restaurants and bars. I’ve been fortunate enough to visit a few but Bar Lafayette was one I had yet to visit. A friend of mine was across from the East and we […]

My first visit to Cantina 663 was back in July last year for my ‘I’m-not-having-a-Hens-but-I’ll-go-out-for-dinner’ soiree. It was when they had a special truffle menu and it was a seriously delicious evening. Ever since that visit I had been keen to return. So when the BFF, Mrs M,  proposed a dinner catch up I suggested […]

So exciting when a new place opens up within a short drive from the office!! And such was the case last week when I heard that Bad Apples Bar had opened up on Riesley Street in Ardross 🙂 And I just couldn’t wait to visit when I saw their first facebook pics pop up and […]

Apple Daily Eating House and Bar is a place I’ve wanted to visit since Print Hall first swung open its doors. Its menu looked so enticing! Thankfully the opportunity to visit presented when a bank I deal with asked if I would be keen to catch up there for lunch one day. It wasn’t a […]

Duende. It was one of those places that I’d been to a few times and on the first two visits I had been really impressed with the food, then on the third visit, it didn’t quite live up to the high expectations I had had and I had just never gotten around to heading back. So this […]
