Jus Burgers recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as foundation restaurant members of Buy West, Eat Best.  The Voice caught up with owner Bert Giancristofaro to get the lowdown on what goes into making a Jus burger and how they’ve gained such a cult following. It all starts with the beef patty, sourced from the pristine…

A BOWL of Sicilian olives satisfied a craving for something salty and savoury while we waited for lunch at Pappagallo in Leederville. Rich-green and wonderfully firm, we polished off the bowl of olives ($8) in record time. I’d ordered the mushroom gnocchi ($24), which on first inspection looked a bit unappealing with a gelatinous sheen.…

SWEET REMEDY is the cupcake equivalent of the shop in Chocolat.  The Leederville cafe sells every type of cupcake imaginable and they’re all made fresh in-store. When I visited during lunchtime on the school holidays there was a fun atmosphere and kids were decorating their own creations.  For $6.50 parents can buy a vanilla dream…

THE D’Angers will definitely revisit Theo and Co in Leederville. Not just because the pizzas were the best we’ve ever eaten, but because we didn’t get to try the dessert one. We sat in awe as a chocolate pizza base – crowned with vanilla ice cream and lavishly drizzled with chocolate sauce and nuts ($20)…

LET’S get the obvious out of the way – Bunn Mee in Leederville is tiny. When it’s busy, punters are packed in tighter than Clive Palmer’s belt, but don’t worry the meals are huge. The Vietnamese restaurant is run by 2018 MasterChef contestant Jenny Lam and her family, and their food is so irresistible I…

A PERTH VOICE PROMOTIONAL FEATURE: Legendary Leederville eatery Tsuke Ba serves up some of the freshest sushi you’re ever likely to try this side of Tokyo. Tucked-away in Oxford Street’s Tip Top arcade, this hidden gem is definitely worth seeking out, for super tasty food at a fantastic price. Ideal for a quick bite before…

THERE’S cafes as far as the eye can see on the Leederville strip, but we struggled to find one for brunch. At 10.15am the more interesting cafes weren’t opening for a good hour, had already been reviewed by the Voice, or had little to offer beyond a muffin and coffee. As our tummies began to…

I WAS texting my friends about Amani just five minutes after my first visit. The list of superlatives included the friendly and attentive Samantha behind the bar, who was quick to help out with a schooner of Gage Roads Single Fin ($5 during happy hour). I knew my mates would appreciate the simple, share-style food at…

IN Perth, you’re never far away from a Malaysian restaurant. There are lots of dodgy ones and the good ones can be a little out of the way, but they’re usually worth seeking out. Ria Malay Kitchen in Leederville is definitely a good one; in fact it’s one of the best I’ve been to. The…

NOTHING is more breakfast to me than a plate stacked high with pancakes. Well, almost nothing; Sayers Cafe’s buckwheat and buttermilk pancakes with blueberries, honeycomb, lemon mascarpone and hazelnut maple syrup are like pancakes on steroids. This little hidden cafe has an eclectic feel, with a gorgeous outside eating area that was bustling with early…
