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 first visited Enrique’s not long after it popped up on the scene last Summer. I think the idea of pop up venues is great. Keeps things fresh and perhaps gives a place a chance to push their creative boundaries a little further, as they know they have that limited window to make their mark […]

It was a while back now but I had to give everyone a reminder that on one of the first Sundays of each month this year you should have totally have to get yourself to Lamonts Wine Store in Cottesloe. So on these first Sundays they put on a delicious tapas menu, available for either […]

I went to Juanita’s in Subi the other week. Up the end of Rokeby Road closer to Thomas than Hay I had actually not heard of it before. But I was catching up with a new friend, Lady B, to discuss all things WA Signature Dish and Juanita’s was chosen as our rendezvous spot. It’s a […]

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 […]

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 […]

I used to work in West Perth. That was nearly 2 years ago now but I still miss it. I definitely like my current job but location wise, West Perth was just a lovely place to work. It also had some excellent places to lunch. Several top Italian eateries (Peruginos, Ville d’Este, Julio’s) and also […]

.. This summer, Chef Michelle Forbes and the rest of The Beaufort Street  Merchant + Trustee Bar & Bistro team will be getting their Spanish on .. I do enjoy a newbie. We are entirely spoilt for choice in Perth these days. It is literally every other week that somewhere new is swinging open its doors. […]

Fremantle is one part of Perth that I haven’t spent nearly enough time exploring on the food front. I know there are plenty of delicious fresh food options there (like the Freo Markets!) and lots of great spots that I’ve heard many foodie folk talk up, but it has always felt a long way from […]
