PAULINE HANSON’S latest thought bubble of shunting autistic kids into “special” classes earned a dunce’s hat, but I still feel bad for the Paddo after its shin-kicking from supposed friends for hosting a meet-and-greet with the controversial Queensland senator in March. Talk about shooting the messenger. There’s a disturbing trend in modern ‘debate’ of shouting…

TUCKED away out the back of the Mezz, Academy seems to have struggled to nail down the experience you get at it’s Claremont counterpart. But I’m happy to say that at a recent outing, the cafe seems to have lifted its game and is now a worthy replacement for the much-loved Peasant’s Table. The staff…

HOT and flustered after a frantically busy morning, the peaceful ambience of Casa Bianchi, on Scarborough Beach Road, Mt Hawthorn, worked its magic on Voice snapper Matthew Dwyer.

NEW NORCIA BAKERY, Mount Hawthorn by JENNY D’ANGER: IT was hard to picture austere, dark-robed Benedictine monks sitting down to dainty pastries and gurgy cakes as I gazed in awe at the sweet selection at the New Norcia Bakery. But apparently the sourdough bread, with its wonderfully chewy crust, is something the religious pioneers at…

AFTER 15 years burying and cremating people, Mareena Purslowe-Sear now loves feeding them. Two years ago the woman behind Perth’s ground-breaking all-woman funeral service traded in her trademark white Akubra for a chef’s cap, setting up The Ladder in Mt Hawthorn with long-time friend Rucky Griffiths. The pair and their hard-working team are enjoying their…

YOU wouldn’t be surprised to see the cosy Spanish Flavours in the back blocks of Madrid, where owner Rosa hails from. Thankfully for us she moved some time ago to Mt Hawthorn. The decor is Spanish kitsch with plenty of terracotta, wrought iron and pots of red (but artificial) geraniums. The feeling is one of…

WITH lunchtime crowds surging in and out, smiles were a little strained at the Leaf and Bean Emporium as staff battled a misbehaving dishwasher. It wasn’t long however before the recalcitrant machine was brought to heel—perhaps with a well-aimed kick—and the smiles soon returned at this popular Mt Hawthorn cafe. L&B’s decor is modern and…
