DESPITE having lived in the bustling inner city suburb of West Perth for little over a year now, I have never fallen victim to the incessant social media hype surrounding the quaint café located just minutes from my home. The West End Deli has sent local millennials into overdrive by crafting Instagram-worthy culinary delights. Early…

WITH Fringe World kicking off in Cathedral Square, the swish eateries at the revamped Treasury looked appealing, but unfortunately nearly all the prices dwarfed a journo’s pay. There was one exception, but that didn’t open in time to make the show, so we ventured east and ended up at City Heart on Pier Street. The…

ARTWORK dominates an entire wall at Locale, the newest eatery on the increasingly diverse Angove Street in North Perth. When my lunch companion and I ventured inside a series of Robert Simeon photos — a pictorial wander into the heart of America — greeted us. The soft-focus, almost watercolour tone rendered them poignantly beautiful. “The…

CHATTY Indian gent sitting next to me at Annalakshmi’s on the Esplanade once claimed Govindas in Northbridge makes the best Indian food in Perth. It was a bold claim, especially since we were both enjoying a meal at Annalakshmi’s, which had survived the lengthy construction of Elizabeth Quay and was pay what you like; but…

CHEAP retsina wine with a hint of pine resin and turps, sparkling green/blue ocean, white beaches – and eating lamb’s testicles. That was my first visit to Greece.

WHEN it comes to food in Perth, there is nothing more on-trend right now than Instagram-ready meals. Case in point being Mack Daddy’s New York Slice, offering massive NYC-style pies that are no doubt the type of food social media paparazzo dreams are made of. Thankfully, visiting the Beaufort Street pizza parlour is a positive…

AHH … The Wiggles. Garish maniacs that obliterate parents first thing in the morning. I’ve lost track of the times I’ve trudged into the living room at 6am — like Napoleon marching on Moscow — only to be forced back by a blizzard of skivvies. Somehow I got roped into going to the Wiggles live…

THE pop music’s throbbingly loud and there’s no let-up from the thick fug of cigarette smoke as the bus chugs along somewhere in Java . Still I shouldn’t complain; the driver hadn’t had a break in 10 hours and the music was probably the only thing keeping him awake – and us from imminent death. It…

MY friend and ex-journo colleague fancies herself a masterchef, whipping up impressively intricate meals. She reels off words like sommelier (a glorified wine waiter) in everyday conversation and watches every cooking show going. So when she was blown away by Duende I knew it had to be good. “Balance is what they do really well…

MASSIVE chandeliers sparkled like Christmas overhead in the sleek, modern Paddy Field Restaurant on Newcastle Street. A quick look around showed it’s a favourite with Perth’s Chinese community. Adding to the party atmosphere, dim sum trays of delicate pastries and baskets of savoury steamed dumplings were being whisked between tables where diners were tucking in…
