I NEED to apologise to God. My family and I were so full after dinner at Shesh Besh on Shrove Tuesday, we had no room left for pancakes. My young kids weren’t happy and said the big man would strike us down with lightning. See you in purgatory, folks. Situated just up from the Leederville cafe…

THE last time I wore a mask in public, I was dressed as a werewolf and scaring old grannies. It wasn’t a psychotic episode – I was a young child going door-to-door on Halloween. Thankfully when the family and I went to The Modern Eatery in Mt Lawley this week, I opted for the standard…

WE are really blessed here in WA. My good friend Bondy (not related to Alan but James was her dad!) visited from Darwin recently. Wow, a visitor. First stop was David Thompson’s renowned Long Chim, situated in the State Building on the corner of St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street. Bondy lived on Phuket for…

MY family and I were en route to a pizzeria in Mount Lawley when my wife spotted a funky cafe with bright murals and South American music playing. We couldn’t resist Medellín’s lively charm and decided to abandon our plans and give the Colombian cafe a go. Open from 9am-9pm, Medellín does everything from traditional…

THIS week I made a rare venture outside Voiceland to check out the refurbished Como Hotel. In recent years the old art deco building has started to looked a bit tatty, but thanks to a multi-million dollar facelift it now takes pride of place on the Canning Highway. The new hotel interior is incredibly bright…

SOMETIMES it’s good to revisit old favourites to see if they’re still holding their own. Siena’s of Leederville has been an Italian institution for donkey’s years, and when we went there for dinner on Tuesday night the place was pumping and still as popular as ever. With a huge play area visible from the dining area,…

GREEN, white and red speedos at the ready – summer is here! The mercury was nudging 36 when we went to Zuccaro Trattoria in North Perth on Tuesday night. Thankfully the owners had opened the bi-fold doors, which spanned the entire front of the restaurant and let in a pleasant evening breeze. The trattoria is…

“THE roof looks like a giant evaporative air-conditioner!” That was my initial reaction as I walked towards the new WA Museum Boola Bardip at the Perth Cultural Centre. I was probably being a bit harsh, and the architecture began to grow on me as we walked up the huge limestone concourse towards the entrance. My…

TRATTORIA Ilaria is literally overflowing with red and white checkered tablecloths. It’s not a sign of a restaurant in the throes of senility, but a knowing wink to the good old days of Italian cuisine and hospitality. Situated on the corner of Angove and Fitzgerald Streets, Ilaria has massive bay windows, creating an entertaining…
