MESOPOTAMIA KABABS, Mount Lawley: In 2013 it is hard to find something that truly celebrates history. Wherever you go, there is a tendency towards modern, a fusion or a mix of this and that in the hope of discovering the latest, “cutting edge” culinary trend. For Mesopotamia, on 627 Beaufort Street, this is of no…

SAOWANEE’S PLACE, North Perth by DAVID BELL: Awards adorn the wall at Saowanee’s Place like medals on a dictator’s tunic. They’re well deserved. The North Perth Thai is a nice little gem on Fitzgerald Street. Managing to nab a table on a Friday night, we were looked after by staff who made sure the heaters…

GIARDINI’S, Leederville: Hipster bars and restaurant are opening up left, right and centre. And hipster bars and restaurants are closing down left, right and centre. When fashions are changing quicker than you can say “in vogue” it is nice to know that some things stay the same. And staying true. Leederville’s iconic Giardini’s is one…

CHARM, Perth by JENNY D’ANGER: Two blokes at the next table of this Murray Street, Perth eatery were lamenting over their teenage/early-20s kids. Messy, lazy, disrespectful, but happy for mum and dad to give them a handout. And how embarrassing when his oldest daughter turned up for a family restaurant meal in Banana in Pyjamas…

The philosophy behind the eatery is consciousness-raising about what we eat—making informed choices before imbibing, owner Karen Kotze says. When…

POSITANO, Northbridge: There’s an old saying that cooking begins in the market and this has never been more true than with the Italian cuisine which relies heavily on fresh produce. Tomatoes, garlic, onions, capsicum and eggplant along with seafood and poultry are some of the most common ingredients in the Italian kitchen, which is why,…

THE OLD CROW, Northbridge by DAVID BELL: It’s always good to “discover” a new eatery before the hordes. Further down Newcastle Street they were queuing out onto the pavement, and I’m happy to take bets the Old Crow will suffer the same fate when word gets out how good it is. It’s only been open…

THE BOHEME, Perth by STEPHEN POLLOCK: After watching the Seth Rogen comedy This Is the End, we decided to hit the CBD for a late Saturday night meal. By 9.30pm the streets were groaning with biceps, machismo and cheap aftershave. And that was just us. You’ll need to check with Margaret and David but I…

JB O’REILLY’S, West Leederville by DAVID BELL: Fake Irish bars litter the world. You can stop at just about any airport bar in Asia and come across names like “O’Flanagans”, be greeted by shamrocks decorating timbered walls and be served a pint of Guinness by bartenders as Irish as Jackie Chan. But JB O’Reilly’s in…
