Dinner
Neighborhood Pizza
I have a confession to make. Even though I’m a parent of a 3 year old child, I’ve never really enjoyed eating at ‘family restaurants’. You know the ones I mean, with a playground/kids zone inside, kids running around, plastic tables and chairs, screaming, noise and mayhem! I know it seems kind of ironic as […]

Cafe Denada
I’d hit that mid afternoon slump so decided to take my son and I to the park via a ‘slight’ detour past a local cafe to get a fix of caffeine to perk me up. Upon arrival, I noticed several tables were busy with mature ladies deep in gossipy conversation over coffee and young children […]
Daisies of Cottesloe
Daisies of Cottesloe has been a stalwart institution for as long as I can remember, bustling with locals and their beloved four-legged friends. But today it’s a sea of police officers and construction workers from nearby building sites. Not to be deterred we stumble inside the cluttered, worn looking deli and place our order for […]
The Hardware Societe 2
My second visit to The Hardware Societe has not left me disappointed. Arriving late morning for breakfast, we joined the expected queue and after a short wait we were seated inside at a large round table which we shared with other diners. There’s a lot to take in; from the barista station with teacups lining […]
Little Cupcakes
After a morning of retail therapy, I can’t think of anything better than a chance to indulge in a sugar fix before heading out for round 2 of the shops in the afternoon. My friend Mara and I are on a girls weekend in Melbourne and we make our obligatory visit to Degraves St. We […]
Elmar’s in the Valley
Having spent the morning at nearby Caversham Wildlife Park with some visitors from London, we decided to head to Elmar’s in the Valley for some lunch based on some good recommendations from friends. I hadn’t really thought it through as one of our visitors was German! Now Elmar’s had a lot of expectation to live […]
JACS Applecross
My mum has been asking me for a while to have breakfast with her at JACS at Applecross Village. It’s walking distance from mums home but we’re feeling lazy and decide to drive today. Staff greeted us and we ask to sit outside under the shade of the Jacaranda trees. We are given water and […]
Atrium
The Atrium Restaurant at Crown Perth has been frequented by my family since I was little. I recall many birthdays and special occasions celebrated there and it has undergone many facelifts over this time. Today we’ve come for breakfast as we’re staying at Crown and my sister has come to join us. It’s not too […]
Gordon St Garage
I was very keen to dine at the Gordon St Garage for lunch on a weekday after a sneak peek at their menu but my first visit was for an early weekend breakfast. Being early meant we were lucky to park on the street and we had a choice of tables to sit at. Upon […]
The Midnight Fox
I’m having dinner with a friend at Blend Cafe and we decide to meet at The Midnight Fox next door for a pre dinner drink first. Such a great addition to the area and popular with local residents. It’s my first visit and I’m a little early so I have time to relax and take […]
Bad Apples Bar
Bad Apples Bar has been long-awaited in the area by local residents and after watching it being transformed we visited one night in the first week after being at the movies. There was a mix of ages but predominantly a younger crowd which you’d expect on a Friday night. I really liked the layout and […]
