Stunning food, great view ... but take the mozzie spray

I didn’t apply the industrial strength insect repellent offered free in the Mangrove Hotel’s outdoor areas early enough. But The Bay Club is a stunning place to sit when one is appropriately covered.

Perth’s best cafe for hearty breakfast or sweet treat

Few of us were at our best during peak COVID pandemic, but that was the last time I ate at this cafe. Even eaten out of a container at the local park I thought its crumpets were special. Are they still?

The near-perfect dish you can find at a Perth brewery

Growing up, the most gastro a microbrewery got for me was bung fritz and tomato sauce sandwiches, and Barbecue Shapes in my home-brewing grandfather Geoff’s shed. Times have changed.

The latest iteration of a ‘definitely not cursed’ venue

It’s one of the most magnificent dining rooms in the city, but has had a high turnover even for the fickle business of pleasing people. Lo’ is the latest iteration at 448 Beaufort and it’s one of the best.

George Kailis’ luxurious seaside brasserie raises the bar with classic dishes, killer cocktails, a brilliant wine list, seamless service and a sumptuous dining room. The view isn’t bad either.
