Merrywell, Crown Casino

Feb 06

A turned to me on a Monday after I got home from work and said to me “How about I pick you up after work take you out for a surprise dinner on Wednesday night?” I love supposes and thought that this was a fantastic idea!

So I was picked up by A and we headed to this mystery location. I was making guesses along the way depending on what street we were on at the time. When I saw A get off the freeway at the Belmont park on ramp to head towards crown casino I knew exactly where we were headed to. The Merrywell would be an interesting place to try as its part of massive redevelopment and re branding that the Burswood has recently gone under. Read more →

Cheeky Monkey, Margaret River

Nov 22

A and I had a weekend away together in Busselton. When we were planning the trip I didn’t realise that Margaret River was so close to Busselton. We planned out a day in Margaret River eating good food and drinking good wine. The last time that i went to Margaret River was when i first finished school so it was quite a surprise to me that there are copious amounts of great food and wine there. It completely surprised me. When it was getting close to lunch time we remembered hearing a tip on a place called cheeky monkey to go that does a pretty respectable lunch. We would see if this was a good tip or not.

Inglewood hotel, Inglewood

Mar 21

For a belated birthday catch up I had decided to catch up with my good friends Sarah and Caleb. When it came time to decide where to go we knew that Caleb enjoyed a good pub meal so I started looking through urbanspoon for places to go to. I ended up deciding on the Inglewood hotel because it was in quite a handy location for us and also that their steak sandwich is meant to be quite highly revered. Read more →

Captain Stirling, Nedlands

Feb 22

I was arranging catching up with my friend S for dinner. It had been a while since we caught up and she let me choose where we were going to go to eat. I actually had quite a hard time choosing where to go for dinner, I knew that S wanted to go somewhere that has the familiarity of suburbs pub dining but at a inner city location. After thinking for a few hours about this i finally decided on the Captain Stirling! Read more →

The Royal on the Waterfront, East Perth

The other day at work I received a phone call from a friend inviting me out to lunch. The aforementioned friend asked me where I would like to go to for lunch. I felt like a surprise so I let him choose. He chose the royal bar and brassiere in east Perth. I have been here for a drink before but never had the food here. I have to admit having some reservations before I went here, because the royal is set in a fantastic location I wondered if they were bringing customers based entirely on the location or if the chefs actually were interested in cooking.
