TUCKED away on Chelmsford Road in Mt Lawley, TME Bento & Rolls is a blink and you’ll miss it kind of place. A tiny joint with an open kitchen, minimalist tables and chairs, and incongruous fake grass covering one wall. The grass wall reminded me of the end of Interstellar, when gravity is warped, but…

I KNEW Compton Burgers was going to be good when I heard Coolio had popped in for a cook-off before his Perth gig in 2019. For our veteran readers, Coolio is a famous rapper who scored massive hits with songs like Gangsta’s Paradise in the mid 90s (granddads, ask your kids about him once the…

THE CAMFIELD is situated beside the Optus Stadium and I went there for drinks after the A-League Grand Final in 2019. I intended to revisit, but every time I went to an AFL game the queue for The Camfield was longer than Bailey Smith’s mullet. So I decided to take the family there for lunch…

ONE of the latest Japanese restaurants to grace Perth’s CBD is a real pearler. Opened in October, Nippon Izakaya Bar and Kitchen is a large 120-seater on the corner of Hay and Milligan. It’s towering floor-to-ceiling windows make it hard to miss from the street, with animated diners and perpetually-moving staff creating an entertaining…

MY quest for the best ramen in Perth continues. This week I decided to check out NAO Japanese Ramen on Hay Street, which in restaurant terms is a wily veteran, operating in the city for the past 18 years. NAO claims to have the most authentic ramen in Perth with the core of its dish…

THE subconscious is a strange beast. Last week I binge-watched the latest season of Narcos: Mexico, then completely forgot about it and went on with my day-to-day life. But this Tuesday I woke up with a weird, insatiable urge to eat tacos. I wasn’t pregnant (although my gut is getting bigger every year) and…

IT WAS time to revisit a Maylands institution and see if it was still keeping up its game. Rifo’s Cafe has been around for a couple of decades, presiding over the Guilford Road and Eighth Avenue intersection like Emperor Nero in a pair of thongs. Their lunch/dinner menu was classic Italian – woodfired pizzas, pasta…

TO say The Re Store in Perth has a rich family history is a massive understatement. The roots of the delicatessen stretch back to 1885 when Giuseppe Re immigrated from Italy to Sydney. In 1894 he was lured to WA by the Kalgoorlie gold rush, but saw another business opportunity and opened a deli in…

IT’S worth taking the three hour drive to Shelter just to see the humungous ceiling fans. They are bigger than the blades on a chinook helicopter and when they are going full tilt they would generate enough wind to blow-dry Ted Danson’s hair in the 1980s. Situated beside the jetty in Busselton, Shelter is one…

I LOVE a good whinge as much as the next American, and I have to thank the dearth of quality Mexican food in Perth for ensuring material is never in short supply. Then, on September 29, who should roll into Mildland but el caballero de mis sueños, who from his steed extends a white-gloved hand which,…
