Oh, Myattsfield, how do we love thee? Let us count the ways. 1. You’re pretty as a picture, nestled in the rolling hills of the Bickley, which (soz, Swan Valley) has become our new foodie destination of choice. 2. Your wine sorbets are satisfying our red wine cravings in hot weather, and have us totally […]
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 […]
Is it wrong to have a crush on a bar? Right or wrong, Great about Perth + The Classroom = L.O.V.E. Admittedly, we’re not the only ones smitten by The Classroom. Since opening in January, the North Perth small bar has enjoyed wild success: 50-person queues on weekends, a finalist spot in the Small Bar […]
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 […]
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.

Ever since laying eyes – and taste buds – on the gorgeous cheese trolley at 1907 last autumn, we’ve been a little cheese crazed. Some people have “dessert stomachs”, but we save space for cheese alone. Actually, that’s a lie. We save room for both! Nevertheless, when Great about Perth was invited to last Friday’s […]
Since opening back in February, the Wine Store in East Freo has been winning over hearts thanks to its chic décor, relaxed ambiance and great food. Oh, right, its exhaustive wine list is a pretty big drawcard, too. The Wine Store’s next project? A monthly long table dinner. The Chefs Cellar Feast kicks off today […]
Venture deep under the Heritage Brasserie, Bar & Boardroom, past a scarlet velvet curtain and you’ll enter Perth’s newest watering hole, Bobèche. Modelled after a 1920′s prohibition speakeasy, this is a bar to visit when you’re in the mood for deep leather armchairs, flickering candles and – thanks to the dim lighting, perhaps – handsome bartenders […]
No longer content being considered Australia’s epicurean backwater, Perth has been ratcheting up its fine dining scene. The latest gourmet addition is The Heritage Brasserie, Bar & Boardroom, a multi-faceted venue encompassing a café, restaurant, late night bar, takeaway provedore and private dining room. Like its neighbour The Trustee Bar and Bistro, the Heritage Brasserie […]
Beyond heightening Perth’s skyline, the new BHP Tower has done the city an even greater service – it’s breathed new life into the beautiful yet neglected buildings neighbouring the tower’s base. One such transformation is the historical WA Trustees Building on St Georges Terrace – now the new Trustee Bar and Bistro, opening this week. […]
