MY roommate and I are bachelors and we’re feeling a bit down, so we decided to do a Bridget Jones and stuff our faces at Mack Daddy’s New York Slice. It turned out to be one of the most over-indulgent and yummiest meals we’ve ever had, and the Mt Lawley pizzeria definitely cheered us up.…

THERE are two things Perth’s restaurant scene lacks—authentic Moroccan cuisine and affordable BYO joints. That’s why Mashawi in Mt Lawley is such a Godsend, because it ticks both boxes. Situated on bustling Beaufort Street, the restaurant serves up the best Moroccan food I’ve ever had in Perth. Their meal transformed a routine Monday-night dinner with…

MY burgeoning love affair with Beaufort Street grew stronger over the weekend thanks to the friendly service, great cocktails and phenomenal food at Dainty Dowager in Mount Lawley. Dainty is Perth’s first Asian roasting house, according to the restaurant’s website, and while it’s not fine dining, the food is fresh, smart, well-presented and packed with…

I LIKE steaks and Led Zeppelin. And in 2018 that makes me a cultural footnote. At the age of 43 I should really be having a mid-life crisis, wearing hot pants with “smashed avocado” on the front and “non-binary” on the back. But I like to wallow in cholesterol and listen to Kashmir. That’s where The…

IF you’ve ever cried into your porridge or crawled back under the doona because Mt Lawley’s Three Coins restaurant isn’t open for breakfast or lunch during the week, then perk up – it’s finally here! You’ll have to head up Beaufort Street to the corner of Second Ave, but there you’ll find the Trequattrini family…

Fez Cafe is a Mount Lawley institution, where you’re guaranteed innovative, super fresh food and friendly service that makes you feel right at home. An ever changing all-day breakfast/brunch menu offers a good balance of light meals through to substantial belly fillers. Whether you’re vegan, virtuous or ravenous, you’ll find something to tickle your fancy.…

WITH only a giant packet of spinach in the fridge, the prospect of a hot pizza on a cold Monday night was too good to resist. Ischia’s a newcomer to Beaufort Street, occupying what had been Siena’s for as long as I can remember. The restaurant’s layout is undergoing a few changes, but the food…

Don’t think for one second that fish’d is your average ‘chippy’. Beaufort Street’s newest eatery is bringing Fish n Chips into the twenty-first century with its fresh, clean, modern seafood restaurant right in the heart of one of Perth’s most popular strips. With full view of an open kitchen, diners can watch fully qualified chefs prepare gourmet meals with fresh produce, most of which is…

THE empty plate looked as forlorn as I felt and like Oliver Twist I was thinking, “I want more please”. It wasn’t that I was hungry, but rather that the roast marinated field mushrooms ($21) were magnificent. The chunky slice of toast was laden with mushrooms, rocket, capsicum, cucumber and hazelnuts. There was an almost…

WHEN it comes to food in Perth, there is nothing more on-trend right now than Instagram-ready meals. Case in point being Mack Daddy’s New York Slice, offering massive NYC-style pies that are no doubt the type of food social media paparazzo dreams are made of. Thankfully, visiting the Beaufort Street pizza parlour is a positive…
