I’m always envious of people who live within walking distance of a good French bakery, who can quickly nip up the street at 7am to grab fresh croissants or hot sausage rolls for breakfast, or newly baked bread that’s got the crackly crust you just can’t get from a supermarket loaf. In this neighbourhood, there’s […]
City Farm Cafe in East Perth has been under new management since late January. Keeping with the philosophy of City Farm, the cafe menu is still driven by organic ingredients and produce, used whenever possible. The meat and eggs are from free range and organic animals, the toast thickly sliced from wonderful crusty loaves baked […]
Quietly nestled among the cafes and shops along sun-dappled Crown Street is Mad Spuds, a cafe that specialises in potatoes. And not just any potatoes – they are organic potatoes grown in Robertson, in the Southern Highlands of NSW. The cafe serves Double Roasters fair trade locally roasted coffee, and prides itself on dishes that […]
We’re having brunch at Riley’s Wood Fired Cafe. It’s a cosy little cafe in a small shopping centre on Cranford Avenue in Brentwood, with a butcher and bottlo for neighbours. I wrote about dinner with friends at Riley’s in 2010. Jac orders the field mushroom and spinach stack (AU$14.50). Two grilled field mushrooms are layere…
Update: Sadly, Azuma is no longer in Regent Place. But you can order online from the Patisserie and pick up from Azuma Restaurant in Chifley Plaza. On the Night of the Tuna Jaw during which we seem to talk about nothing else but food, Helen also tells us about Azuma Patisserie, located in Regent Place […]
While chatting with chef Josh during lunch at Cafe Ish, he mentions a tiny cafe that makes and sells fantastic macarons, tucked in between office buildings on Alberta Street, a laneway in the city end of Surry Hills. It’s called Cafe Cre Asion, and Juji, Jay and I decide to check it out the next […]
Update, January 2013. Closed permanently. Has been replaced by a new restaurant called L’Enoteca. The Woody Pear in Victoria Park is a few months old, located where Deevine Cafe used to be, on the corner of Mackie Street and Albany Highway opposite Zucchero Espresso Bar. It’s not one of the busiest sections of the Vic […]
By popular demand, here’s more food from City Farm Cafe. It’s all been takeaway as I haven’t had the time to dine in. City Farm Cafe’s definitely become one of my favourite lunching places in East Perth. Between freshly baked muffins and organic coffee in the morning and takeaway at lunch time, staff are used […]
Breakfast at Leonardo’s Cafe at Carousel Shopping Centre on a Saturday morning. We started with drinks – a iced mocha frappe (AU$5.90) for Jac and a large apple juice (AU$3.80) for me. Jac’s mocha frappe was very sweet, but cold and refreshing. Jac ordered a “shark bait” sandwich on multi-grain bread (AU$11.95), which …
I had lunch with my sister CW at the new Cafe Ambrosia, the replacement for Kirribilli Cafe (where we’d had coq au vin for lunch recently) at Curtin University campus. CW ordered the linguine with roasted pumpkin, spinach and fetta. The pasta that arrived looked more like tagliatelli than linguine to me. CW found the […]
