BIVOUAC in Northbridge has great food and excellent service, along with funky decor and a very trendy and modern menu. It’s so named because the eatery is designed for rest and recuperation with “a menu you’ll feel comfortable ordering a mix of plate to share”, the webpage says. To me, to bivouac is to camp…

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…

BELGIAN BEER CAFE, Perth by STEPHEN POLLOCK: AHH, Belgium. That indiscriminate little country that throbs at the end of Tintin’s foot, like Captain Haddock’s piles. Time for walkies, Snowy! Cliches aside, the Belgian beer cafe, like the country itself, has been the butt of some bad jokes and middling reviews, so it was time for…

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…

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…

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…

PEPPER LUNCH, Perth: If you’ve traveled throughout Japan and South-East Asia you know how insanely popular the Pepper Lunch franchise is. There are 200 across Japan, 80 through SE Asia, two in Sydney, one in Melbourne and, in Perth…there’s Pepper Lunch at 95 Barrack Street. Pepper Lunch is popular for a reason: Fantastic Japanese steak…
