Samson’s Paddock has been on my endless wishlist of places to visit for as long as I’ve been following them on social media, which has been quite a while now. I’ve longingly looked at photos of their food and in my head kept saying I really have to get there one day! Sometimes you just […]
Latest Foodie Adventures
The Globe Perth
“We’re going to have a ball tonight – let’s have a ball! Down at the Globe!” I sung this Big Audio Dynamite classic in my head on the way to dinner recently at one of the CBD’s newer additions, The Globe. Situated in the vibrant 140 Perth complex on William Street, The Globe is a […]
Budburst Small Bar
For ages I have wanted to visit Budburst Small Bar in Mount Hawthorn. I’d heard and read some really great things about their food and wine offering and had even driven past a few times and thrown some longing glances its way. From the front it looks fairly pint sized, but as we found out when we […]
3Sheets Portside
The sun has really dialled up the temperature of late so venturing out is something of a challenge, but it what summer in Perth is all about, so best to just embrace it. And that we did recently when we decided to venture out to Hillarys for a bite of lunch on a particularly warm […]
NeNe Chicken
I clearly had not realised that Perth has been crying out for more fried chicken options. Lately though, several Asian chains have recognised the need and opened debut outlets in our fare city. The most recent of these arrivals is Nene Chicken in Vic Park. On our drive there one Saturday I found myself singing […]
Hayashi Japanese Restaurant
Back in the day, and by ‘the day’ I mean 2011 to 2014, I used to work on Ogilvie Road in Applecross. A scenic office near the river, it was a nice part of the world to work from. One fond memory of this time is Friday lunches because this was the only day of […]
Pretty Summer Salad – Chickeny
Summer is the perfect time for salads and they are even better when they are pretty like this one. I initially read the recipe here, though I made a few small tweaks when I gave it a whirl at home. It was actually pretty filling for the two of us! Enough for lunch the next […]
The Shorehouse
It was pretty much a love at first sight situation when GG and I lunched at The Shorehouse recently. Granted Mother Nature really turned it on with sunshine galore and blue skies as far as the eye could see, but it was when we were shown to our table and I had a glass of […]
Layup Cafe
There are so many cutie patootie cafes that have opened around town this year and with social media inundated with pics of their beautiful breakfast offerings, I suspected that a weekday early morning attack was my best bet to visit one. I just don’t love crowds or lining up, I’m a little set in my […]
Pappagallo
I had heard many a positive review about Leederville new kid on the block Pappagallo. Their popularity was growing so quickly that when we first tried to get a table on a whim, the reserved signs were situated on all inside tables and the weather hadn’t quite warmed up enough for me to be thinking […]
