A SMASHING good time can be had at Piccolo’s Corner, with both smashed pumpkin and smashed avocado on the menu. This little eatery is tucked away in the leafy suburban streets of West Leederville, and is well worth the effort to find it. Just be respectful if you’re driving, as parking is causing a bit…

I WAS surprised to discover my retired chef mother-in-law had never heard of quinoa, but I guess a Devon village isn’t exactly the centre of the universe for a trendy goosefoot grain. Following lunch at Oxford Yard she’s a convert to the delicious native of the Andes—which on this occasion came in a fantastic salad…

PERTH’S dining scene may be catching up with the rest of the world, but our liquor laws are stuck in the 1950s. The heavy hand of the law will descend if you’re served a glass of champers, a wine or a beer at The Garden before 10am. But you can get a 1.5-litre jug of…

by JENNY D’ANGER KWAY TEOW was once cheap food for poor labourers, but these days the noodle dish is a national favourite across Malaysia and Singapore—and beyond. After the first mouthful at Ria Malay Kitchen, in Leederville, I felt like I’d just come to a metaphysical home. I’ve eaten many a kway teow over the…

THE atmosphere of Duende is exactly what we were looking for on a very cold night in Leederville. While rain drizzled outside, we were nice and toasty inside, surrounded by the warm glow of candles. Even warmer were the helpful staff who welcomed us into the Spanish tapas bar by taking our coats and hanging…

STAFF gently shooed off the pigeon wandering into this iconic Leederville eatery. “That’s Frank,” they cooed good-naturedly as the feathered visitor exited. Giardini was a welcome relief from the noise and crush of the uber-groovy cafe we’d been planning to visit. Ear drums reverberating, we’d fled that confining space to this spacious—and quiet—oasis with its…

I WAS on the horns of a dilemma—a painful place to be to be sure. Join the queue of people waiting to order and risk being late for my appointment, or grab something quick and run. Sayers in Leederville was pumping and it was only 10.30am so I figured the food was worth making someone wait.…

GIARDINI’S, Leederville: Hipster bars and restaurant are opening up left, right and centre. And hipster bars and restaurants are closing down left, right and centre. When fashions are changing quicker than you can say “in vogue” it is nice to know that some things stay the same. And staying true. Leederville’s iconic Giardini’s is one…

JB O’REILLY’S, West Leederville by DAVID BELL: Fake Irish bars litter the world. You can stop at just about any airport bar in Asia and come across names like “O’Flanagans”, be greeted by shamrocks decorating timbered walls and be served a pint of Guinness by bartenders as Irish as Jackie Chan. But JB O’Reilly’s in…

AMANI, Leederville: Upon arrival at Amani Wine Bar you’re met at the door by a charming hostess who shows you to your table. That’s right, full table service. Welcome to a whole new level of sophistication, right here in the heart of Leederville’s Oxford Street district (opposite the Luna). Of course, there’s also the black…
