TWO fat blokes came to my rescue on Easter Monday. The majority of restaurants in Mt Lawley were shut, including the new Mexican I had planned to visit, so with the wife and hungry kids in tow, the pressure was on. Thankfully 2 Fat Indians were open for business, although there was a 10 per…

BETTY and Dave’s sounds like a questionable UK sitcom from the 1970s, but it’s actually a cute cafe on the border of Mt Lawley and Inglewood. I’m a sucker for a good name, so I’ve always been intrigued by the cafe, which does breakfast and lunch and is situated on the corner of Beaufort Street…

THE humble kebab is a divisive fellow. You probably fall into one of two camps – only eat one when you’re blind drunk at 3am or know a place that does good ones and eat there regularly. I fall into the latter category, despite growing up in the UK where the open pita kebab was…

IT’S the summer that refuses to pack its bags. On Tuesday lunchtime it was a balmy 32 degrees celsius and Royal Street in East Perth was teeming with office workers and students grabbing something to eat. I don’t know if it was the sunny weather, but I’ve never seen the little stretch between Plain and…

IT’S almost like a meaty work of art when you walk into a good butcher’s shop. Colourful kebabs, dainty meatballs, exotic sausages and glossy cuts of meats all rub shoulders in a sort of pretty abattoir run by Picasso. Situated on Bulwer Street, just up from Hyde Park, Frank Torre Quality Butcher has to be…

NORTHBRIDGE on a Friday night. James Street had its trademark mix of chaotic energy, excitement and sleazy danger, all neon-lit and ready to go off like a cheap firework. For people of a certain vintage, like myself, it felt exhilarating and slightly disorientating, like a kamikaze pilot pushing forward on his stick and preparing for…

The inaugural William Street Long Table Lunch and block party next Saturday (March 11) will hopefully change negative perceptions about Northbridge, say event organisers. The plein air lunch is the brainchild of Kabir Ramasary, who is director of William Street venues The Bird, North Bird Wine Store and Ezra Pound. He wanted local businesses to…

I HAD high hopes for Farmology. After all, a cafe situated in Perth City Farm should be the very essence of paddock-to-plate with access to the freshest and best produce around. I had visions of The Good Life meets River Cottage with a Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall clone serving me some delicious omelette made from eggs freshly…

GIVEN the litany of superhero films in the cinemas right now, you would be forgiven for thinking “Fish Boss” is a giant, radioactive mackerel that terrorises New York City. It’s actually a homegrown fish and chip shop that has done very well for itself over the past few years and opened several outlets across Perth.…

SOMETIMES I start to roll my eyes when I read the pretentious and often embellished backstory to a new restaurant or food product. Like the beer that was brewed by celibate monks in a cave in Syria for 12 years using yeast extracted from the Turin shroud. Thankfully The Woodfired Baker in Maylands has a…
