RED CRAY, Mt Lawley: If there is one thing the Singh brothers know how to deliver, it is exceptional seafood. For 10 years their fabulously popular Red Cray restaurant in Belmont has been a finalist or a winner of multiple awards. In April this year the boys expanded their seafood empire, bringing their award-winning talents…

S & T THAI, Northbridge by STEPHEN POLLOCK: With the wives missing in action, “Banner” and I rekindled our bromance with dinner at the Thai Gourmet Cafe. Nestled in the sweaty bosom of Chinatown, this modest restaurant is small and unassuming—like Bert Newton on a sun lounger. Thai Gourmet has received some rave reviews in…

LINCOLN’S 102, Highgate: Just one street back from the hustle and bustle of Beaufort Street, perched on the corner of Lincoln and Stirling, you’ll find a cosy little neighbourhood retreat. Lincoln’s 102 is a place where the coffee is great, the food is fresh and service comes with a smile. Whether you’re chasing your daily…

COODE STREET CAFE, Mt Lawley by JENNY D’ANGER: The Coode Street Cafe is tucked away in the back bits of Bayswater’s slice of Mt Lawley but the secret has been well and truly out for years now. On a rainy Thursday lunchtime the place was heaving with customers. And little wonder, with the cafe groaning…

AMANI, Leederville: Upon arrival at Amani Wine Bar you’re met at the door by a charming hostess who shows you to your table. That’s right, full table service. Welcome to a whole new level of sophistication, right here in the heart of Leederville’s Oxford Street district (opposite the Luna). Of course, there’s also the black…

POPPO, Perth by STEPHEN POLLOCK: Going for a pre-gig meal is always a bit of quandary. Eat something light and end up getting a Maccas on the way home, or over-indulge and accompany the band with your anal rumbles. We banked on a quick Korean meal before watching Steve Vai fondle his guitar at the…

LAVA STONE, Mt Lawley: Just when you think you’ve seen it all, experienced it all and done it all; and when you think the local dining scene has become somewhat complacent, perhaps even arrogant, then along comes a new concept in dining – one that makes you wonder about the Stone Age town of Bedrock,…

TARTINE, Perth by JENNY D’ANGER: It was the giant pink flamingo that caught my eye as I drove along Wellington Street—then I noticed an elephant-sized budgie as I turned into William Street. “Even Tony Abbott couldn’t smuggle that bugger,” I thought. The colourful, cartoon-like paintings covering Tartine Cafe’s windows do as much to attract customers…

BARRE, Perth by JENNY D’ANGER: The Barre Lounge Cafe, in His Majesty’s Theatre, is “showbiz central” so you never know if you’ll spot a famous face, the eatery brags. And blow me down if photographer Roger Garwood, and son Ben, weren’t having lunch there when Voice snapper Jeremy Dixon and I strolled in. Okay so…

MONTE FIORE, Mt Lawley by JENNY D’ANGER: MONTE FIORE in Mt Lawley deserves “mountains of flowers” for its delicious Italian cuisine. It was the quirky flower and bird motif (no mountains though) of the restaurant’s sign that caught my eye as a potential spot for lunch. Once seated my lunch companion and I debated whether…
