I recently had a chat with chef Justin Bell about his fantastic new sausage shop in Leederville, Snags and Sons. Just a couple of shops away and still going strong is his original burger bar, Jus Burgers. Whenever interstate or overseas visitors ask for Perth food recommendations, I don’t hesitate to include Jus Burgers on […]
In a converted big old airy tin boat shed in Freo that was once a crocodile farm, you’ll find Little Creatures Brewery, established over a decade ago by a group of mates with a passion for great beer. Since then, the range of beers has expanded, Pipsqueak Cider was born and many of us Perth […]
It’s a crisp sunny Sunday morning when Jac and I arrive at Fraser’s in Kings Park to attend an exclusive sensory analysis workshop in the restaurant’s private dining room.

Kanta Japanese Kitchen and Sushi Bar is a cosy izakaya-style restaurant located next to Pharmacy 777 on Langford Avenue. It’s the kind of place that would be easy to overlook and drive right past; you wouldn’t expect to find an amazing restaurant here in this no-name shopping centre in a suburb not particularly known for […]

It’s around 12.30pm when we arrive, and it’s busy. Luckily, there are a few tables still available. In choosing a starter, A declares a […]
Merry Christmas! I hope you enjoyed good food and the company of friends and family. My father is ill and unable to join us for Christmas lunch, held this year at my brother’s home. I hope he is feeling better today. My nieces, four-year-old Ruby and two-almost-three-year-old Zoe, are really excited about Christmas and tell […]
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 […]
