KAILIS or Cicerello’s? It’s up there with – Coke or Pepsi, Beatles or The Stones, Trump or Biden, Missionary or… Sorry, I took that too far, but it seems that people visiting Fremantle for fish and chips have a favourite eatery and then stick with that place until they’re six feet under. The argument often…

AS most of us get ready to stuff the turkey, the Voice reminisces about some of the best eateries we’ve visited in 2024. A hidden gem in North Perth is BLAKE HILL restaurant. Just up from Walcott Street, on a random suburban hill, it’s one of those places you could easily miss if you don’t…

TWO weeks out from Christmas, God cranked up the heating with temperatures hitting 39 degrees celsius this week. The old Voice jalopy was on the verge of a meltdown by the time I found a parking spot on the swanky and very busy Mends Street in South Perth. Wealthy old men in Gucci loafers were…

DEJAXO Artisan Bakery is a bit of an anomaly. Surrounded by houses as far as the eye can see, it’s plonked in the middle of the Mt Hawthorn burbs and there’s no other businesses close-by. A bit of digging revealed the building used to be the milk bar for the neighbourhood, and suddenly it all…

IT went from majesty to travesty in the space of a few metres. On one hand you had the imperious Macedonian Orthodox Church of St Nikola, its gold-leafed cupola glinting in the midday sun, and a few doors down the abandoned and rather forlorn Wesco petrol station, a tired postcard from yesteryear. Angove Street is…

THIS cafe’s humble surroundings don’t do it justice. It’s situated on a chaotic laneway that connects Newcastle Street to a sprawling car park. There’s vehicles parked everywhere, drivers struggling to squeeze-by, and people in garish lycra streaming out a gym. Nestled amongst the chaos is Nourish Kitchen and Cafe, a scrupulously clean and well-presented eatery.…

I had never tried Cambodian cuisine before, so I was keen to check out Royal Cambodia in East Perth. Situated on Eastbrook Terrace in Claisebrook Cove, the restaurant has a lovely waterfront alfresco overlooking the picturesque inlet and swanky condos. On a sunny summer’s day, it looked gorgeous with the light reflecting off the gently…

IT was like going in a time warp to a different era. Before placing your order at the deli in The Re Store, you have to manually pull a paper ticket, with a number on it, from a machine that looks like it has been around since the days of JFK. My number was “24”,…

On a Tuesday lunchtime, some suburbs resemble a scene from The Living Dead, but the Albany Highway in East Vic Park is always teeming with life. I’m not saying it’s Beverly Hills, but sometimes the unhinged energy of a place can make it exciting, unpredictable and lots of fun. Many moons ago I used to…

IT’S always a dilemma – where do you go to eat with a group of folk on a birthday night out? You don’t want something too heavy (try doing the macarena after a lamb bhuna) or too expensive (some folk are miserable) or too fancy (it can kill the momentum), so choosing a venue can…
