“THEY do the best bagels in Perth,” my friend said. I thought he was talking about some hipster cafe in Leederville, where bearded men in flatcaps sipped caramel macchiatos and talked about the novel they never wrote, but instead he was banging on about The Kosher Providore in Menora. I’d heard about the place in…

LEELEE Lucky’s in Mt Lawley has a catchy name, but was the food at the Asian cafe any good? Owner LeeLee certainly had a heart-warming backstory with her parents being some of the first Vietnamese boat people to arrive in Australia in 1977, after spending two years in a refugee camp in Malaysia. On arrival her…

IS one of the best delis in Perth hiding in plain sight in Morley? It may not be in the trendiest location, but for nearly 60 years Charlie’s Fresh Food Market has been a firm favourite with locals. It all started back in 1967 when Charlie and Rose Tricoli bought a no-frills 65sqm store surrounded…

IF you have a variable rate mortgage, you are no doubt feeling the financial strain with some monthly payments doubling since the successive hikes in interest rates began this year. With this in mind, the Voice is keeping it simple and low-cost this week with a food review of The Oxford 225. A small, cute…

I VENTURED outside of Voiceland to try the exotic cuisine of a country I have never visited before – the Philippines. Inspired by the carinderias (casual eating stalls) in the Philippines, Lola’s Diner in East Victoria Park opened mid-2021 and has enjoyed good reviews from food critics and Filipino ex-pats. I was initially worried when I…

I HALF expected to see David Attenborough sinking a pint while watching pandas mate, when I walked through the main bar at The Beaufort. That’s because the jungle theme has been taken to the nth degree with lush foliage and verdure at every corner, trees sprouting towards the atrium’s glass ceiling, and green tiles and lights…

SOME of the Perth CBD is still like a ghost town on the weekend. The stretch of Hay Street near His Majesty’s Theatre on Sunday night was a prime example. Countless eateries and cafes, which clearly rely on trade from workers during office hours on weekdays were shut, making the place eerily quiet and feel…

IMAGINE a fifth dimension, between Nandos and KFC, as tasty as the Milky Way and timeless as roast chicken – you’ve just entered the Oporto Zone. Yes, Oporto does seem to exist in the twilight zone between other fast food joints with its flame grilled Portuguese-style chicken, but for me its vastly superior to the…

WITH interest rates higher than Cheech & Chong and the astronomical cost of living smashing pay cheques, the Voice was on the hunt for a quality budget lunch. The Claisebrook Cove-end of East Perth might not seem like the most likely candidate, but up on Royal Street, away from the inlet, there are some cheap…

IT WAS one of those days when you crave soup for lunch. Bright and sunny, but at the fag-end of winter, the wind cut you in two and folk on the Leederville cafe strip were still wearing heavy jackets. There was only one place on my mind – My House Dumpling on Oxford Street. I…
