CHEFS can be tetchy creatures so it’s a testament to Olivier Collas and Franck Gire that they are not only life partners of 33 years, but work together in the pressure cooker of their patisserie Scents of Taste in Mt Lawley six days a week. The couple still have the enthusiasm to share a joke…

MY PHILISTINIC love for instant ramen would make connoisseurs of the Japanese noodle broth cringe, so I worried the experimental flavours of Ramen Lab in Mount Lawley might be wasted on my MSG-reliant palate. I perused the menu keenly but was discouraged to see there were only two choices of broth; rich pork or creamy…

Did you hear what The Urban List said about Perth’s Best Seafood Platters? “The seafood platter at A Fish Called Inglewood may just be one of Perth’s best.” Did you hear what Sunday Times Magazine said about Perth’s Top 100? “Fan favourites include, crispy whitebait, barramundi & voluptuous seafood plate” Sample menu. AFCI recommendation tonight…

A BLOODY great rusty engine takes pride of place in the alfresco area of the Old Laundry on Angove Street, North Perth. Apparently it was too difficult to remove so it stayed. This trendy cafe/bar really was an old laundry, as recently as the 1990s. But the boiler engine is the only nod to the…

I LIKE a cafe where you can choose a table according to your mood. Steam Haus is a kind-of newish addition to the Maylands town centre; a renovated old home where each room is an artistic statement in its own right. For the slightly nostalgic the front parlour’s the place to go, with its olde-worldey shelves…

WHEN a bloke with a substantial and obvious pot belly gets warned about the size of the steak sanger on the menu, you can be pretty certain it’s going to get you through until dinner. The waitress at Mary Street Bakery showed admirable motherly concern as I ordered an entree of fruit toast ($6.50) to…

Divido opened its doors in 2005, offering Perth diners a casual Italian eating and drinking experience within a stylish and intimate venue. Divido’s menu represents a love of good, honest food, made with passion and skill. It draws influences from Italian regional peasant style cooking, including old family recipes. It’s comfort food – wholesome, rustic…

IT’S a long way to go for fish and chips,” my lovely sister-in-law said as we left Fremantle for Inglewood. She’s probably right, but it seems we’re not the only ones prepared to make preposterous journeys in search of the perfect chippy, chef/owner Paul Zammit tells me. “People drive here regularly from all over the…

MY companion and I had been heading elsewhere for lunch when the quaint Outram Cafe caught our eye. It is an oasis of a genteel yesteryear amid the sharp edges and bustle of West Perth’s business hub. Located in an old house, the eatery is a tad Elizabethan with its white, stucco walls and black…

THE vowel challenged tbsp. Cafe in Bayswater had us intrigued from the start. Add a bustling mix of diners, interesting décor and the enticing mix of sweet and savoury aromas and the deal was sealed for my lunch partner and me. The staff were quick to seat us and my mouth watered as I read…
