I WAS on the horns of a dilemma—a painful place to be to be sure. Join the queue of people waiting to order and risk being late for my appointment, or grab something quick and run. Sayers in Leederville was pumping and it was only 10.30am so I figured the food was worth making someone wait.…

You don’t need to travel halfway across the globe to experience North African cuisine, as local diners are discovering at The Edge of Sahara. This new Northbridge eatery serves the most amazing food, from the regions that surround the great desert. Crispy, seasoned North African meat wrap served with mild harissa tahini sauce… At The…

MY mum is a huge fan of those feisty females you see in sit-coms, such as Bea in Golden Girls, but her favourite is Endora, Darrin’s mother-in-law from hell in Bewitched.

WEE BAR perfectly embodies what small bars were meant to be about—a classy place for a high-end nibble and a cautiously curated selection of drinks. The French bar was started up by Iain Lawless, who used to run the well-regarded Kitsch further down the road, and the food has his trademark playfulness and mixing of…

IT’S not often you get the chance to have an indulgent work-day breakfast and feel good about it. Which makes 1905 Coffee on Newcastle very special. Housed in a cute heritage building it’s part of not-for-profit organisation Workpower, which creates employment and training for people with a disability or mental illness. It’s a long way…

THE leather dyeing vats of Fez are famous for their antiquity—and their smell. The guano used in the process is so potent that guides hand out sprigs of mint to offset the pong. My lunch companion was in Morocco last year and reminiscences were triggered by a wall-sized mural of the pits on the wall…

OLIVER TWIST and the orphans sang Food Glorious Food in the musical version of Dickens’ classic novel. (Oliver Twist and the Orphans? Good name for a boy band). Veggie Mama, in Mt Lawley, is to vegetarians what steak and pudding must have been to the hungry mites in the London poor house: Heaven. Since turning…
