Gino’s Spaghetti Bar has been one of those places that I have driven past about a zillion times and always meant to visit. It’s so close to home and despite hearing some really positive things about it I’d never managed to get there. Recently though a friend asked for a few ideas for local Italian […]

My GG has a massive appreciation for all things steak. We’ve been to a few steak places around town – Hippo Creek, Squires Loft…. Not Rockpool as yet though. Well GG has for one of their high acclaimed waygu burgers but I digress. There was a new addition to the Beaufort St strip called Bos […]

We are being spoilt with some incredibly lovely weather in Perth in the last week or so and often when I sit at my desk at work, I look out the window and I wish I could go out to lunch somewhere fabulous. Well I got my wish on Thursday, as there was a fellow […]

What can I say….. I like to visit different restaurants and when my sister offered me the chance to use a voucher she’d bought on deals and wasn’t going to be able to use before it expired, well I wasn’t going to say no. Perhaps if I’d visited urbanspoon before I’d accepted this voucher and […]

When I drive straight to the gym from work I generally drive down Fitzgerald Street and have been watching over the past few months as they give the Hyde Park Hotel a much needed facelift. I’d only been there once, years and years ago and had memories of it being a bit of a drive. […]

I was very lucky the other week and with thanks to http://www.tweetperth.com.au won a seat for myself and GG at the @tweetperth table at the re-opening night of Outback Jacks in Northbridge. I’d enjoy my last (and first) visit to OBJs in Rockingham recently (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/07/31/outback-jacks-rockingham/). Good steaks, friendly service and perfect for families. So it […]

I’ve been to Hippo Creek twice already, both times to the Subiaco restaurant, so when I saw a Scoopon voucher for Hippo Creek in Hillarys I was most pleased because it meant I’d have a chance to take GG along and he loves his steak! So I bought the voucher ages ago and we finally […]

GG had been given a Freedom voucher for Christmas and was taking his sweet time using it so we finally found a Saturday when there was spare time to peruse their wares and we did need a new cupboard so at least we had a target in mind. We’d been at the gym in the […]

A last minute  invitation and GG and I found ourselves out to dinner last Sunday night at Outback Jacks in Rockingham instead of at home eating leftovers. We had driven down to Serpentine earlier in the day to visit GG’s parents and it was also his sisters birthday that day who also lived down that […]

Having enjoyed my first visit so much I was pleased when I found out that my work’s End of Financial Year function was to be held at Hippo Creek in Subi. We were a group of 16 and on the night of our function it was us and then the rest of the restaurant was […]
