A CROSS between urban grunge and nanna’s house, with menus pegged inside the Little Golden Books that grandmas read to kids—Mrs S cafe is an eclectic mix. There’s lots of kitsch, along with delightful cups, jugs, cute tea towels, cookbooks and other tempting things to purchase, and a very distracting selection of cakes in a…

TOAST, Fremantle by JENNY D’ANGER: STREETBAND’S 1970s one hit wonder Toast is a humorous ode to the humble slice of bread. [And] cafes couldn’t cater for the finer things in life: The upper crust was not for me, I could tell that. So I’d go back home, switch the kitchen light on, put the grill…

When you mention Italy, everyone has a different thought. Some may think about the magnificent piazzas in Rome, the great shopping in Milan, or the wonderful and warm Italian people.

YOU wouldn’t be surprised to see the cosy Spanish Flavours in the back blocks of Madrid, where owner Rosa hails from. Thankfully for us she moved some time ago to Mt Hawthorn. The decor is Spanish kitsch with plenty of terracotta, wrought iron and pots of red (but artificial) geraniums. The feeling is one of…

THAT men and women have very different ways of seeing the world was highlighted over lunch at this sleek, utilitarian West Perth restaurant. The only woman in a sea of suited men, I was thinking “glass ceiling”, and imagining female minions eating sandwiches at desks. My lunch companion on the other hand was thinking “privileged…
