It’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote this review, unaware at the time of Pincho’s looming expansion. They’ve just opened the new section, which takes over the corner of Oxford and Newcastle Streets and is a welcome addition more in keeping with Leedy atmosphere than the run-down Subway. The extra space means more…

A fun and funky fish cafe offering the freshest seafood at family friendly prices, A Fish Called Inglewood (AFCI) has been going strong for almost two years now. It has become a favourite place to drink and dine for locals and visitors alike, with many claiming that it does seafood better than anyone else in…

SLURPING noises from contented diners and a babble of Chinese conversation; my companion and I could have been in downtown Beijing or any number of Asian cities.

LET them eat cake,” Marie Antoinette is famously supposed to have said, not long before Monsieur Guillotine ended her privileged and tragically short life. So rocking up to Sugar & Nice in Mt Lawley I did — a raspberry, pistachio and white chocolate blondie (a fudge-like cake), a friand, a double choc brownie, and a…

THERE really was rice in my green tea (toasted), along with wild-flowers and lemon verbena leaves. And there was I thinking the blurb on the menu was a bit like the description on a bottle of wine; pretentious flavours you try vainly to detect. Secondeli in Mt Lawley is one of the first to serve…

RADIO NATIONAL announced South Korean author Han Kang had won the Man Booker prize for The Vegetarian just as I was looking for somewhere for lunch. It’s a dark novel about a marriage torn apart by a defiant act of vegetarianism, but that didn’t put me off as I headed to Veggie Mama on the…
