Many new bars have opened up in Perth over the last year or so and one that I’ve ventured to that has its own distinct jazz inspired flair is The Laneway Lounge. I went there for dinner a while back and fell in love with their fatty chips with truffle aioli (just simply divine) and more recently went to […]

I love a steak sandwich. Such a solid lunch option. And I’m generally happy with a fairly simple affair. Nice thickly sliced toasted bread or a roll, a decent piece of steak, maybe some grilled onions, a few greens and something tomato-ish, whether that be fresh slices or a dollop of tomato sauce or perhaps even […]

I’d never been to Joondalup Resort before but I was invited along a cheese dinner they were holding at their Bistro 38 Restaurant in partnership with Yarra Valley Dairy. And I was pretty excited because I am a long time appreciator of cheese 🙂 Set amongst lush emerald fairways and natural bushland at Joondalup Resort, Bistro 38 […]

Woooooh ooooo ooooo oooo, for the longest time 🙂 Ok so I was singing the catchy Billy Joel tune For The Longest Time as we drove towards Brika, because for the longest time, well at least since it opened, I had put Brika at the top of the list of places I desperately wanted to […]

Many millions of dollars have been spent to give the Subiaco Hotel its long awaited and highly anticipated facelift. It’s been close to 18 months in the making and owners, Judy and Michael Monaghan, who have had the venue since 1971 are understandably excited! The doors to their flashed up venue swung open on Friday so […]

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it before but next year GG and I are holidaying in Europe. To say I’m a little excited about the six weeks of annual leave I have booked would be a massive understatement. To help with the planning process and for a little further inspiration, we may have also […]

As soon as I heard of its impending opening, I got it in my head that I wanted to visit Darlings Supper Club. Maybe it was the catchy name, maybe it was that Andy Freeman has previously opened some stellar venues (such as Luxe and Varnish on King) but I think it’s was the whole […]

When GG and I went to New York in 2012, one of my favourite memories is waking up on our first morning after the epic 24 hours of flying and making our way to Tom’s Restaurant for a proper American diner breakfast. For Seinfeld fans you’ll know that the Tom’s façade was Monks in the […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

And so continued the breakfast bruschetta battle last week when I made a highly anticipated return to Sayers Sisters in Northbridge. Highly anticipated because Sayers are a consistent performer in the breakfast stakes, whether at this sister venue or their originals Sayers Food in Leederville. I think the fit out of Sayers Sisters is just […]
