WEEK two of the school holidays. Skies as grey as porridge and biblical rain. My two kids needed a break from the screens and I needed a break from them squabbling over the screens, so we decided to jump in the Voice jalopy and head to the Inglewood Hotel for lunch. Over the years,…

HAVE you ever been to Naut? Have you ever heard of Naut? If not, that’s because Naut is one of the best kept secrets in the world! And no, I never exaggerate! Naut is a small bar, hidden in the depths of Bibra Lake. Yes! Bibra Lake has depth! No, not the actual lake, the…

AT times it’s been called the ugly little sister of Beaufort Street with no Art Deco panache or culinary glamour. Fitzgerald Street has copped a bit of criticism over the years, but recently it’s upped its game with a number of good restaurants including Acqua E Sale, La Mortazza and KCH. Okay, the parking and…

PAINSTAKINGLY arranged in neat, colourful rows like some boutique food army. The exotic jars, tins and boxes on the shelves at the Boatshed Market were perfectly dressed and would have pleased even the sadistic drill instructor in Full Metal Jacket. Having worked as a shelf filler during my uni years, I appreciated the attention to…

IT probably took a few months off my life, but it was worth it. The Highlander Loaded Fries ($16) at Blasta were a glorious ode to heart disease with layers of molten cheese, deep-fried chips and haggis. But boy did they taste good, and I was stone-cold sober. Having grown up in Glasgow, I can…

I HAD to make an evasive manoeuvre when I entered Tagine Tapas and Grill. A pigeon that managed to get inside was making a hasty bid for freedom and nearly flew straight into my face. It was like a scene from Stop The Pigeon, with me as a middle-aged Muttley, and I shared a wry…

IF you have a sweet tooth and attend TAFE in Leederville, you might want to upgrade your dental cover. That’s because it’s situated directly across from the Gather Bakehouse, a new eatery on Oxford Street that specialises in delicious cakes and bite-sized treats. I went there for lunch on Tuesday and my internal GPS must…

IT was one of the hottest lunch dates I’ve had in a long while. I’m not talking about some Tinder Mature hook-up with a middle-aged, chain-smoking divorcee from Butler, but the curries at The Chatter Boxx. They were nuclear hot and it felt like an atomic bomb had gone off in my mouth – and…

IN recent years, food stalls and food trucks have been the incubator for many successful restaurants. Chimek started out life in the Fremantle markets, where four mates combined their love of Korean and southern fried chicken to create something familiar yet slightly unique. Their finger-lickin’ wings, tacos and burgers went down a treat with locals…

THE EXCHANGE BAR is a bit of a West Leederville oddity. Surrounded by office blocks and trade outlets on Harrogate St, it’s a fully licensed bar that does lunch, breakfast and dinner (it’s open from 6am on weekdays). Nowhereman Brewing Co is nearby, but it’s only open from 4pm later in the week. There are…
