I LIKE a boozer with a bit of history. Built in 1886, The Grosvenor Hotel is one of Perth’s oldest operating pubs and is awash with Victorian touches and historic photos. It’s situated in the Perth Mint precinct; a stylish, little pocket of Hay Street. Grosvenor’s menu isn’t the biggest or the most adventurous, but…

THE Seasonal Brewing Company is one of the more recent additions to the Maylands hospitality scene. Situated on Guildford Road, the microbrewery fits the tried-and-tested formula established by Little Creatures in Fremantle all those years ago – shiny steel vats loom over an informal dining area, there’s a rustic beer-friendly menu, and indie rock is…

IF you’re like me, you’ve walked past the entrance to McLean Lane – the alleyway linking Murray and King Streets – many times without venturing in. You know the one – Santorini-blue paint, colourful hanging lamps. For me, it has always held the promise of magic. Perhaps I have avoided it for fear it would…

BEING a supporter of Scotland’s soccer team is an exercise in sadomasochism. In the early hours of Wednesday morning we were dumped out the European Championships by Croatia, who beat us 3-1. Once again we had failed to get past the group stage at a major championships. By lunchtime I desperately needed some comfort food…

HOODBURGER is obviously doing something right. They have outlets in Northbridge and Inglewood, and recently opened their first store south of the river in Ardross. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so I bungled my kids into the car and headed to their Beaufort Street outlet. Not all schools were off…

As I drove into Maylands, the sun burst through the dark clouds, turning raindrops on car bonnets into gleaming works of art. It was a pretty introduction to a pretty suburb, and as I parked on the corner of Eighth Avenue and Whatley Crescent, I marvelled at the art deco buildings, leafy trees and sunlit…

AS an experiment in psychogeography, I decided to wander around Northbridge on Tuesday afternoon and see what eatery tickled my fancy. It’s been a while since I’ve visited the notorious inner-city suburb, and to be honest things haven’t improved much. I ambled up William Street, going away from the city, and saw a few cafes…

FINDING a good dim sum bar outside of Northbridge and East Vic Park has always been a challenge. There’s the odd place that’s got them on the menu, but not many specialise. Thankfully I was walking through Leederville on Tuesday and spotted My House Dumpling, a fairly large eatery which sounded like it had been…

WHAT’S the world coming to? First covid-19 and now Bill Gates has done a Ctrl-Alt-Del on his marriage. As I drove to Pixel Coffee Brewers for lunch, I wondered if Bill would sign up for Tinder Mature, or maybe he’ll just get an old 486 computer and put some lipstick on the floppy drive. Thankfully…

A CLEVER labour-saving device or a glimpse into a soulless future with automatons? That is the question philosophers might ponder after eating lunch at Spice Market in Fremantle. In the Thai restaurant you order and pay on your phone, and the meal is delivered to your table by a robot waitress that says hello and…
