Broadfield reviews Lotus at The BeaufortPremiumBig, bold, baller The Beaufort brings it in Highgate

As is the way with popcorn chicken, even ones this good, it was served with a chilli-infused mayo. Grab a bowl of these beauties, a beer and find a dark corner to get your rocks off.

Woo hoo! We’re travelling again. We never thought it’d be so good to get on a plane. The novelty of flying wore off decades ago. And yet last week, we were like excited children at the prospect.

Restaurant reviewPremiumReview: Rob Broadfield hangs out at Bar Loiter

As Woody Allen put it, “showing up is 80 per cent of life”. It’s an allegory that could easily be applied to the operators of Subiaco’s Dilly Dally restaurant, and its new cool-as-a-cuke back bar, Bar Loiter.

What a collab: Shōbōsho (‘firehouse’) channels the energy of Tokyo’s neon lit, charcoal-fuelled yakitori joints while Dandelion brings the heat with punchy South-East Asian street eats.

Naber+IIII. an accomplished bar with smart food.

Big question. Which breed of pooch goes into dog sauce? Labradoodle? Sausage dog? It was clear the waiter had heard this uproariously funny gag before. He forced a wan smile.

Restaurant reviewPremiumRob Broadfield reviews: Art of Seafood is, um, okay.

Surf shirt guy gave his E-Harmony date, what he hoped, was a casual, fleeting touch on the arm as they talked. Awks. He was talking louder now. He bowed down over his plate and shovelled some more.

Top place to curl up with a good wine & the food is OK too

‘For the sort of blokes who cut their teeth on Penfolds 389 and still hold a place in their heart for Grange, this is as near perfect a wine list as you could imagine. There are 400 titles on the epic list.’

Hills favourite serving solid pub fare with cheffy touches

The food was satisfying, not outstanding, just good and solid and mostly enjoyable. The menu has a slight German influence and there’s a fair bit of frying going on.

Roguish newcomer a Highgate stunner

It is dark, raw, moody, the sort of place that attracts fellow travellers: wine fans, food groupies, flaneurs, booze hounds, pleasure seekers, experienced diners with age on their side and, yes, rogues.

The stunning Cottesloe eatery with ‘rubbish’ food

Longview is a great spot for drinks with interesting wines, smart service from a switched on floor team, a lovely room and those epic, wonderful views. But the food is a bit of a disaster.
