HENRY VIII was a big king with a king-sized appetite, and Henry on Eighth in Maylands matches his style – in a grungy 21st century way. Massive ceilings and timber joists, jagged raw-brick walls and concrete floors give this eatery a very funky feel. “Art” in strange frames, a huge painting of Henry as a…

PALEO: The word was like a dagger through the heart. I’m positively Jurassic in my love for all things creamy and glutenous, so my wife’s thyroid-induced paleo diet makes our kitchen tension sizzle like a croque monsieur on the hob. After a relentless barrage of faux doughs and pallid pastries, food reviews have become my…

BIVOUAC has become a bit of a favourite for dinner before a show at the nearby State Theatre. Like the cute beagles at the airport, waiters can spot a theatre-goer the minute they walk in the door. Which means fast service — but never rushed — and so relaxed, friendly and down-right helpful you feel…

WE’D been heading elsewhere for lunch when the funky former stables/storage shed on Carr Place, Leederville caught our eye. There’s no hint of horse manure in the tiny brick building, which has been many things over it’s 100 years, but there is plenty of great retro-grunge ambience – and old record covers. It was a…

GLANCE down the laneway just up from Kakulas Brothers on William Street and chances are the tables outside Francoforte are full. Lucky for us we were early and there were a few inside tables available; laneways are wonderfully atmospheric but this is Perth’s coldest winter this century. Not that the weather put other diners off,…

MIST swirled from a bank of industrial mixing machines as our ice cream froze before our eyes. Welcome to the wonderful world of creamy liquid nitrogen gelato at Ibiza N2 in Mt Lawley. Warm, crisp and delicate churros, a melted chocolate dip ($8.90), and a mug of hot chocolate ($8.50) warmed us as we watched…

S AYERS doesn’t do table service, a polite waitress informed me, but after finding out I was just after a pre-lunch coffee, it turned out not to be a hard and fast rule. Soon a smooth and steaming brew arrived while I willed the heat from the alfresco heater towards my fingers so I could file…

Scale the heights of the Himalayas without leaving the country. Himalayan Nepalese Restaurant and Cafe introduces the unique tastes of this magnificent region in 3 handy locations – Inglewood, Vic Park and Mosman Park. Enjoy the finest Nepalese cuisine in a relaxed and friendly environment. The Nepalese people are descendants of major migrations from India,…

I’VE killed more bonsai than I’ve had hot dinners, so it’s probably just as well there were no mini-trees at The Bonsai Restaurant to get me thinking “maybe this time”. The restaurant’s name was chosen to reflect a common bond between creating a beautiful bonsai or an authentic Japanese dish; both need intricate knowledge and…

AHH, the power of good sushi; head over the bucket thanks to kid germs, my wife had barely the energy to lift a finger, but as I came through the door with a selection from Tsuke Ba a pallid face rose above the rim: “Can I have the tuna?” She had an admirable go —…
