I SWEAR the waitress at Fiorentina is psychic; she’s got a touch of the gypsy look about her and knew what I wanted before I did. With just a narrow window between appointments I needed prompt service if I was to fit in a reviewable meal, and I’d barely scrunched my butt into one of the…

IT wasn’t that long ago the area around Lake Street, Northbridge was a hangout for undesirables and street walkers, but these days people cruising the streets are looking for interesting cafes to have something to eat.

THE cyclist clad in yellow lycra rushed up to the counter, his cleats tapping out a rhythm Sammy Davis junior would have been proud of. “Now that’s a different sort of fast food,” I thought. “I always order the kway teow,” the cyclist tells the Voice during his short wait. “We’ve never eaten in, but…

SWITZERLAND was on at the State Theatre, but my friend and I were in “India”, or as close as you get while still making the first curtain call. Northbridge restaurant Sauma puts a modern twist on traditional Indian cuisine, serving up dishes like wagyu beef samosa with roast cumin and beetroot ketchup ($6) and Fremantle…

A GOOD kway teow is a wonderful thing, but probably not enough to warrant a write up of The Zenith, so it was back the following week to sample other dishes on the menu. At $12.80 the lunch specials are so well priced I’m thinking this little eatery on the fringe of Leederville’s cafe strip will…

I’M not a well-travelled man and I’ve never been anywhere near Spain. But friends who have been there tell me that Pinchos in Leederville is the closest I’ll get to an authentic tapas experience in Perth. I’m always excited to eat at Pinchos, as the food is of the highest quality and Leedy has a…
