Cantina has always been a fave. Especially on byo nights.

hrm... when I went to Catina at the end of 2008 before I started reviewing it was fucking atrocious. We went for breakfast and the barista looked like he had been up for about 5 days, the pancakes with "fresh berry compote" was literally strawberry milkshake syrup poured on top. My frittata was reheated soggy shit.

Looking at their menu now though... it looks like they have changed it and with a new chef it might be worth a go again.

my girlf designed the interior of that place

Cant go wrong with Clarks in North Beach

[brooa]

[Sneeza]

Amazing! The appealing thing about this place is that it is BYO. Which is great if you have been aging a bottle of wine and you want to have it with a meal of "fine dining" standard. They will decante it for you as well.

[Jimmy D]

places i have been recently.

The Imp in vic park for breakfast. Been a couple of times. Highly recommend the hang over roll and the big breakfast with hash browns. Best hash browns ever!

I like a bit of mexican food every now and then. My favourite in perth has always been sante fe in subi. I don't rate the one in freo at all and i think that panchos is average. Went to one called "that little mexican place" in north perth and was suitably impressed. Every thing was tasty and fresh plus the service was exceptionally good. They have a second restaurant in vic park thatis apparantly byo spirits to add to their non alcoholic margaritas. I plan to do this this weekend.

[Mono Lisa]

got that the other day - I think it may need a bit of updating - still refers to the "Red Rock Hotel" (ahhhh memories).

but there are also new places on there so....

[basic]

I was thinking about a thread about this earlier as i dont cook.
A recent one i went to is
The Oxford hotel - $6 pints (anything except Asahi) and $7 Curry in a box Thursdays

[Ange]

Better go pick up those names you dropped....

[Sneaky Panda]

Had Wok and Roll takeaway Jap from Mosman Park. Was authentic and tasty and you can take it into the outdoor cinema next door.

Going to Red Cabbage soon, can't wait.

[j-mo]

I won't order any sous then.

[Slurm]

I won't order any sous then.

Yeah man, sous cheffing is dodgy hey.

[j-mo]

You know what I hate?

When you're at a gay restaurant and the drinks waiter comes over and gives you some drinks...

And yeah, can't be fucked typing the resy out on my phone but I'm sure you know the joke.

[David]

went to the naked fig for lunch today, lovely decor, food and service will deffinately be going back.

[j-mo]

Zafferano

[Erin]

Zafferano

That looks good! Thanks for the suggestions guys.

[Erin]

So turns out Zafferano was not a good pick. We had dinner there on Saturday night and I didn't think the food was that great. Considering we spent $180 for the two of us, I would expect to walk away from it being impressed. Plus I am pretty sure the vegetables we had were microwaved and not fresh at all.

Anyways, I can’t remember if I mentioned it in here or not but Prego in Wembley is awesome. We had the duck, pork belly pig and the fish and the food there was incredible.

[Curare]

Yeah, I was very non-plussed wtih Zefferano too.

I'd also like to point the bone at a popular (how the fuck can it be?!?!) Bunbury coffee establishment, Henry's, near the water. Modelled after Dome, it comes across after the fact as a ver cheap knock-off.


I asked for a big breakfast, eggs benedict, and two macchiatos. Not hard. Simple table fare I would have thought. Heh, just goes to show you never can tell.

30 minutes later, our meals arrive, and coffees, (why did I have to wait for the coffee?) My bacon was a blackened (black bacon!?!) cripy wafer, my suasages looked like an old man's dick, and my eggs were streaked with the same black mysterious ooze.

Now, macchiatos are a maker or a breaker, and after two sips I couldn't stand any more. I think the guy had pulled three shots out of the same beans, so they were a frizzled, burnt disgrace and the coffee was a chocolate coloured disaster.

Very irritated, I left vowing never to eat in bunno again. You've ruined me Henry!!!

[heist]

latasha's kitchen in leederville == total winner

heaps better vege thali than maya masala

decent onion baji too

[little dead gracey]

went to bonsai on roe st in northbridge on Friday night. Japanese tapas type thing. standouts were the salmon sashimi with asparagus, braised pork belly with radish, sliced cold smoked duck breast with chives and the octopus balls. 7 of us ate until not stuffed, but sated for around $130. It's only byo guys. Defeinite thumbs up, next time I am going to go back and order 3 serves of pork belly and eat until I feel sick

[HERETIK]

hmm, octopus balls - were they the small doughy things they prepare in what looks like small spherical muffin tins - with a dark brown sauce?

I went to La Lola in Nedlands last night, very awesome. Food was delish (pizzas there are very good), very busy little place. Only thing that sucked was that they dont take bookings and it took about 50mins to get a table.

[Kirky85]

going to hippo creek tomorrow night for a mates birthday.
I dont really like the food there, i hope there is some nice chicken.

Hippo Creek is fucking awesome, a carnivore's paradise.
Feast your eyes on this bad boy, The Hunter's Assaagi.
They drizzle garlic butter on the meat so it drips it's garlicky buttery meaty goodness onto the chips.
This is the definition of OMNOMNOMNOM.

Hunter's Assaagi is amazing. The one at Hillaries is such a better venue as well. It's nicer to look out onto the water.
