Photography by Ross Wallace Don’t tell my husband this, but I fall in love really easily. And all the time. Not with charming Italian men (one was enough, thank you very much), but with bars. Each new watering hole that pops up around town – and lately there have been plenty – becomes my new […]

Did someone say Applecross needed a wine bar? The owners of Bad Apples ask this rhetorical question on their Facebook page. With crowds of customers streaming through its doors each night, it would seem the answer is an emphatic yes. Although Bad Apples has only been open for a month, you wouldn’t know it from the slick […]
We’ve stopped going to Subway – not because of the mystery meat slices, the tacky faux brick walls or sickly “fresh bread” scent they blast into the street. It’s because of the customer ahead of us. You know him. The guy who orders the most disgusting, never-meant-to-be-combined concoction of sandwich fillers like crab meat, cheese, […]

The Hola Mexico Film Festival has made Perth its fourth and final stop on its Australian tour. From 15-21 November, Cinema Paradiso in Northbridge will be showing […]
It takes a lot to convince a Freo local to head out to Vic Park. Ok, not as hard as convincing a Vic Park local to visit Fremantle, but still hard. So when the locals started whispering about a swish new wine bar in Vic Park, we took it as a sign from the wine gods. FYI: the […]
Imagine a Wednesday night where you get dressed to the nines, indulge in a multi-course dinner at one of Perth’s top restaurants, sip local wine and then attend a lavish after-party. And the kicker? The whole night is in the name of charity. Decadent do-gooding, let’s call it. Dine for Life is encouraging the people of Perth to […]
“Real food for real people” is how Lina and Tony Armenti describe Pimlott and Strand, their brand new deli/cafe in North Perth. We’d change that to “real food for real people with real empty fridges”. Yep, that about covers it. Inspired by a spritely 85-year-old Englishman and fellow Italophile while on a recent trip to […]
With what seems like a new bar or restaurant popping up Perth on a weekly basis, Perth’s dining and drinking scene has gotten a lot more interesting of late.
