by JENNY D’ANGER DINING out before the theatre is fraught: any delay and you run the risk of the torturous embarrassment of mumbled “sorries” as you stand on toes and stagger into laps while shuffling to your seat. But if you eat too early there’s the fight with peak-hour traffic and a lot of hanging…

ENTHUSIASM and efficiency is permeating Perth’s service industry, threatening the existence of our colony’s once infamously surly waiters. Sayers Sister aptly demonstrates this new breed, as cheery waiters rush to bring water, happily discuss the menu—are equally happy to check with the kitchen if they didn’t know the answer—and generally ensure customers are happy and…

THE smells and sounds of Korea rippled around the walls of the Cori Anna Restaurant and my lunch companion and I enjoyed the feeling of being in a world away from home. Kimchi is a staple of Korean cooking, and the fermented cabbage features in a number of dishes on this menu. We kicked off…

Welcome to Northbridge Food Co, where you’ll find a friendly ambience, quality dining and value and service that’s second-to-none. Fresh is how we cook: we endeavour to locally source all our food and create as…

WEREN’T we just the hippest—sitting in a packing crate “box” seat in an industrial chic courtyard in Northbridge, sipping aperol spritz and Spanish champers. Rough timbers, designer-rusted metal screens shielding punters from foot traffic on James Street, and colourful murals feature at Lot Twenty, just down from PICA. The heritage-listed building was police stables, and…

The Sukhothai period was relatively short-lived but considered to be a golden age of Thai culture and of immense cultural importance to the nation’s history. The opening of Bangkok on William heralds a new golden age…

by JENNY D’ANGER THE grizzled, grey-haired bloke in the high-vis working clobber looked incongruous, sitting alone in a sea of Asian diners–most wearing suits. But his enthusiastic farewell for the Hong Kong BBQ House staff proved he’s a regular. The Northbridge eatery has earned quite a reputation for its barbecue duck, and given the number…

by JENNY D’ANGER THE blackboard sign on William Street simply said “spaghetti”, but “where?” was the question. Francoforte Spaghetti Bar is tucked away down one of the increasingly hip lanes being opened up around Northbridge. The first time I’d tried to visit I failed to find it, as there were no tables in the laneway…

THERE’S no class division at “Harry’s” place where you’ll find suited business types, trendy young workers and middle-aged matrons rubbing shoulders with the down-at-heel, students and backpackers. It’s really Govindas, but was dubbed ‘arry’s by D’Angerous Dave some years ago because it’s a Hare Krishna restaurant and he could never remember the correct name. On…

I WAS cold and hungry and I needed a lot of meat, and Pleased to Meet You fit the bill. Down on Roe Street, the yank barbecue joint was set up by La Cholita and Who’s Your Mumma founder Clint Nolan. The place has a friendly communal eating hall feel, with strangers sitting at long…
