There is a plethora of cafes and coffees shops around these days so it can be tricky business to decide where to head for a decent cuppa. I would never profess to be kind of coffee aficionado, but it’s noticeable when you are served a nice coffee.  I recently headed to West Perth for breakfast. […]

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 […]

I’ve enjoyed previous visits to Duende, so when I heard the crew behind Duende had launched a new venue in West Perth I was keen to visit. There seemed to be quite a buzz about the place and I’ll admit that when I saw a few pics of Gordon St Garage pop up on Instagram […]

I’ve been to The Brown Fox in West Perth once or twice before and while it had been a while since my last visit I continue to marvel at the stellar job they have done on the fit out of the place. It does look wonderful, I particularly love the pressed tin ceiling, adorned with ornate chandeliers. […]

Many years ago I was introduced to the wonder of the Turkish Gözleme. A Gözleme is a savoury traditional Turkish hand made and hand rolled pastry. Fresh pastry is rolled out, filled and sealed, then cooked over a griddle. The name derives from the Turkish word göz meaning eye. One of my favourite places in […]

Honestly it was like eating in an oven…… It was Friday night and it been one of those days when as the sun went down the heat did just not seem to abate – you’d think living in Perth my whole life I would be used to this summer stretching into autumn caper…. But alas […]

The past month does feel like it’s been a delicious farewell tour of West Perth. My stomping ground on the work front for just over 6 years now. It honestly amazes me how fast that 6 years has gone by, but when I reflect more do much has happened in that time. Ahh listen to […]

Another day, another excuse to use a voucher and with this one the time was slightly more pertinent given my imminent departure from West Perth. It’s been my stomping ground for the last 6 years and it will be hard to go. So a while back I bought a jumponit voucher for a local eatering. For the bargain […]

I was asked along to a work lunch the other week, which let’s face it, i’ve always considered to be a massive perk of my job. This time the location was decided to be Villa D’Este. A bit of an institution in West Perth. It’s been there as long as I have… 6 years now […]

My co-worker has been on leave touring sunny Europe with his lovely lady for 5 weeks. So it has meant that there hasn’t been that many opportunities for me to leave my desk for lunch during the week. And ok that has been tough because one big perk of my job is the occasion ‘work […]
