AFTER reading rave reviews about Greek taverna Bikra and my mate moving in across the road, we decided to go all Nana Mouskouri and flutter on over. We opted for a late dinner and the ambience was fantastic—think small-bar buzz with restaurant-quality service and that classic Greek vibe. First out of the kitchen was the…

MY Voice colleague David Bell has been raving about Uncle Billy’s in China Town for years, so I finally acquiesced and went there for a pre-theatre dinner. Like many of the neighbouring restaurants, Uncle Billy’s is not salubrious, the decor is haphazard and the service efficient but perfunctory. When I mentioned to the waitress we…

AUTUMN sunshine, golden koi swimming amongst water lilies and the splash of a baroque water feature made for a wonderfully relaxed lunch at Casa Bianchi. The restaurant’s stunning garden ambience was just what I needed after a frantic morning of running around. The only thing that could have made things better was perhaps a glass…

IT’S spritza time!” shouts Mario Tolardo as he glides around tables, squirting soda into huge glasses of bright orange aperol. The theatrical service from the co-owner of Spritz Spizzicheria and the occasional honking of horns on the busy Scarborough Beach Road, lent an air of Rome to our recent lunch. And the food lived up…

THE hip young architect whose home I was reviewing was quick to recommend Satchmo Cafe in North Perth for lunch. It dawned on me that I had enjoyed a great meal there, shortly after it opened, about three years ago. Satchmo is run by mother and son team Benedikte and Nathan Karnovsky, “With a seasonal…

MY roommate and I are bachelors and we’re feeling a bit down, so we decided to do a Bridget Jones and stuff our faces at Mack Daddy’s New York Slice. It turned out to be one of the most over-indulgent and yummiest meals we’ve ever had, and the Mt Lawley pizzeria definitely cheered us up.…

ACCORDING to the Chinese horoscope my beloved and I are rabbits. But even we are getting sick of munching on limp salad after limp salad in Perth cafes. So I let out a sigh of relief when I found Little Shop of Plenty in Maylands, a vegetarian gaff that offers a diverse range of hearty…

THERE are two things Perth’s restaurant scene lacks—authentic Moroccan cuisine and affordable BYO joints. That’s why Mashawi in Mt Lawley is such a Godsend, because it ticks both boxes. Situated on bustling Beaufort Street, the restaurant serves up the best Moroccan food I’ve ever had in Perth. Their meal transformed a routine Monday-night dinner with…

A HORDE of drummers in garish outfits were looking for somewhere to satisfy their taste buds after a gig at the WA Deaf Society. No it’s not a scene from a new Zucker brothers’ comedy, but another episode from my wacky life, and we ended up at Hawker’s Cuisine in Northbridge. The food is great, the…

MY burgeoning love affair with Beaufort Street grew stronger over the weekend thanks to the friendly service, great cocktails and phenomenal food at Dainty Dowager in Mount Lawley. Dainty is Perth’s first Asian roasting house, according to the restaurant’s website, and while it’s not fine dining, the food is fresh, smart, well-presented and packed with…
