WEREN’T we just the hippest—sitting in a packing crate “box” seat in an industrial chic courtyard in Northbridge, sipping aperol spritz and Spanish champers. Rough timbers, designer-rusted metal screens shielding punters from foot traffic on James Street, and colourful murals feature at Lot Twenty, just down from PICA. The heritage-listed building was police stables, and…

CAKES, cakes and more cakes. Just breathing in the air at Sweet Sherbet will give you a sugar rush as you take in the stunning display on show. Food and cooking is in the genes of owner Matt Perroni (pictured), whose great-grandmother started off the Re Store in Northbridge. He served his pastry chef apprenticeship…

ART STRATER COFFEE, Perth by JENNY D’ANGER: A THOUSAND dollars for breakfast makes a $6 coffee seem almost reasonable. That said, the high-spending punter at Harvison Gallery/Art Starter Cafe did get a great piece of artwork to go with his brekky. Owner Mark Walker was pretty stoked when the customer casually ordered at the counter. Handing…

The word Sukhothai means the Dawn of Happiness. It was the first truly independent Thai kingdom founded in 1238. The Sukhothai period was relatively short-lived but considered to be a golden age of Thai culture and of immense cultural importance to the nation’s history. The opening of Bangkok on William heralds a new golden age…

by JENNY D’ANGER THE grizzled, grey-haired bloke in the high-vis working clobber looked incongruous, sitting alone in a sea of Asian diners–most wearing suits. But his enthusiastic farewell for the Hong Kong BBQ House staff proved he’s a regular. The Northbridge eatery has earned quite a reputation for its barbecue duck, and given the number…

by JENNY D’ANGER KWAY TEOW was once cheap food for poor labourers, but these days the noodle dish is a national favourite across Malaysia and Singapore—and beyond. After the first mouthful at Ria Malay Kitchen, in Leederville, I felt like I’d just come to a metaphysical home. I’ve eaten many a kway teow over the…

“GALAKTOBOUREKO”. It’s Greek for custard pie—but could just as easily be Greek for delicious. Made with semolina, eggs, vanilla and cream it slid down my throat like silk, the taste delicate and the syrup-soaked filo pastry sweet. And at $3.50 for a generous slice it was great value. Pranzo, on Colin Street in West Perth…

Warm marinated olives…bread straight out of the wood fired oven…slow cooked lamb ragu…chicken cacciatora…For the Trequattrini family, food is a consuming passion. Originally from Umbria in central Italy, this foodie family of five moved to Perth with the plan to realise their dream of opening their own restaurant. The result is Three Coins, which is…

THE atmosphere of Duende is exactly what we were looking for on a very cold night in Leederville. While rain drizzled outside, we were nice and toasty inside, surrounded by the warm glow of candles. Even warmer were the helpful staff who welcomed us into the Spanish tapas bar by taking our coats and hanging…

by JENNY D’ANGER THE blackboard sign on William Street simply said “spaghetti”, but “where?” was the question. Francoforte Spaghetti Bar is tucked away down one of the increasingly hip lanes being opened up around Northbridge. The first time I’d tried to visit I failed to find it, as there were no tables in the laneway…
