I HAD never eaten steak tartare before my visit to The Meat & Wine Co in Perth. I’ve never been put off by raw red meat, but I’ve found it difficult to trust an establishment’s ability to put together such a quality dish. To me, the beef should be high-grade and it’s imperative that it’s fresh…

GODZILLA’S open mouth was perilously close to my head as I waited for my lunch at Mr Munchies in Mt Lawley. Unlike Astro Boy, depicted in the same mural, I didn’t have jet-power boots to escape, but I didn’t care because lunch was about to arrive at my table. I discovered the Japanese eatery, tucked…

GADO BRAZIL is a meat lover’s dream. The night after my visit to the Brazilian steakhouse I had a strange but enjoyable dream about my head turning into a giant meatball. There was no feeling of panic, only excitement as I picked protein off my face and ate it with perverse pleasure. Gado is an…

HERE’S a combo that would have given Frida Kahlo and Mahatma Gandhi heartburn – butter chicken nachos. It may sound strange, but it’s one of the best fusion dishes I’ve had in ages, although my cardiologist just booked me in for a triple bypass. It’s got all the usual suspects like sour cream, beans, a…

LET’S get the obvious out of the way – Bunn Mee in Leederville is tiny. When it’s busy, punters are packed in tighter than Clive Palmer’s belt, but don’t worry the meals are huge. The Vietnamese restaurant is run by 2018 MasterChef contestant Jenny Lam and her family, and their food is so irresistible I…

BACK in 1895 pharmacist Charles Braddock dispensed free advice on “all ailments and diseases” charging only for medicines he sold. These days Braddock’s Dispensary sells good coffee and specialises in fine teas, including the Whistle Blower range. Kitchen-less cafes are in vogue and Braddock’s fills a niche at the western end of Aberdeen Street, catering…

IT was only 11.30am but lunch-goers were already starting to file into the Chu Bakery in Highgate. Clutching one of their tuna baguettes ($7.50) I made the most of a gloriously sunny autumn day and headed across the road to Hyde Park. The in-house bread was wonderfully crunchy and the tuna and mayonnaise had a…

OKAY Vietnamese” is a bit of a misnomer as there’s nothing “just okay” about its food. The restaurant reminded me how good Vietnamese cuisine can be, after my local closed down some years ago. My friend and I shared vegetarian spring rolls ($5) and Thai fish cakes ($7.50). Spring rolls may have become the Chiko…

AFTER a gruelling long-haul flight from the UK, D’Angerous Dave’s dad was delighted to chillax in the City Farm Cafe garden. Surrounded by soothing greenery and with autumn sunshine caressing our backs, we perused the menu. The cafe boasts a paddock-to-plate experience, and with acres of edible greens and free-range eggs close at hand, everything…

I have fond memories of the Rosemount Hotel. In the early 2000s I caught one of Sunk Loto’s final shows there, before the band became a casualty of the ephemeral nu metal scene and disappeared into obscurity. At that show, Sunk Loto were supported by local act Karnivool, who would go on to become one…
