WIND may have rattled the cafe blinds at Tarts in Northbridge but we were snug as proverbial bugs in a rug, enjoying the wild weather over a lovely lunch. We’d already checked out the tempting array of gifts and jewelry on sale inside, but it was the cakes that had us salivating — row upon…

Estia Restaurant gave life to the dream of a father and son. Vassi Loucaides and his son Paul opened Estia in April 2010, fulfilling their dream of running a restaurant together. Vassi has been part Perth’s food industry for more than 40 years, working in various restaurants following his immigration from Cyprus. His impressive culinary…

YELLOW neon lights, cosy wooden walls, a two-storey dining area and an open cooking bar all under the same roof—the latter open for outdoor dining on weekends. The Flour Factory isn’t only a trendy, fancy-looking restaurant, but also the home of good, fine cooking. Our waitress, Verity, welcomes us with a glass of homemade vermut,…

THERE’S a nice synergy between West Perth’s Gordon Street Garage and Fremantle’s Bread in Common. The coffee-roasting West Perth eatery provides beans to its sister joint, which in turn provides the fantastic bread we were happily dunking in olive oil and balsamic ($2.50). Gordon Street takes its coffee very seriously, and jars of beans sit…

HEADING for a pre-theatre Chinese meal, I thought “hello, hello, a new eatery” as Pleased to Meet You greeted me. This is Clint Nolan’s (La Cholita and Who’s Your Mumma?) latest venture, a self-styled “mess hall” offering small plates of things to share and an awesome selection of things to drink. The food provides a…

IAN CHIN may own Noodle Forum but readily bows to the experience of Erich Wong, who is teaching his younger boss the ancient art of noodle-making. As the Voice looks on, 57-year-old Wong bounces his body weight on a thick bamboo pole, compressing a wad of dough. It’s a process repeated many, many times before…

PHOTOGRAPHER Matthew Dwyer reckons he’s too unsophisticated to appreciate the subtlety of his lunch, but he’s quick to see the artistic beauty of its presentation, snapping pics from every angle. His smoked tuna ($18) really was perfection on a plate, delicate slices topped with noodle-like strands of radish and sesame seed. But what really gave…

THE sweet smell of barbecue sauce hangs heavy in the air at Old Faithful, an American BBQ joint on King Street that’s been open a bit over a year now. It follows a philosophy of “low and slow” smoked meats, and there’s always huge hunks of animal slowly cooking away in the kitchen. You order…

“I CAN’T tell you how good this is,” my companion mumbled. Which wasn’t very helpful given this was a review of Mt Lawley restaurant Three Coins. As she took another bite of her pistachio-crusted lamb cutlet ($36) she paused to opine: “It is absolutely melt in the mouth.” Earlier, taking the edge off our appetite,…
