With a promising new talent in the kitchen, the future of this model Fremantle small bar looks promising (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A chunky mauve LED light snaked its way around the balcony of The EsplanadeHotel. Closer to the markets, dramatic uplighting transformed the new Garde Hotel into a giant Grimace. At Leighton Beach’s waterside cafe-slash-art gallery Palette, guests ordered drinks crowned with thick, paisley caps of foam flavoured with ube: an earthy yam found in drinks and desserts across the Philippines. Major sporting events look good on Fremantle. If you’re an especially good I Spy competitor, you might also h
Under new (yet old) management, Lady of Ro is a throwback to how restaurants used to be (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We need to talk about the soufra at Lady of Ro: the continental European restaurant in Subiaco that resurfaced in May after a short hiatus. We need to talk about those wispy ruffles of crisp phyllo pastry. We need to talk about the comforting, just-sweet-enough custard that gets poured into the cake and soaks into said ruffles like Brylcreem into hair. And we need to talk about how these two buds, ably assisted by the sweetness of crushed pistachio and cinnamon sugar, bring the best out of each
The timeless appeal and polish of Balthazar (opens the original)

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think there’s some kind of sorcery happening at Lawson Apartments: an art deco landmark on the corner of Sherwood Court and The Esplanade in the CBD. One moment you’re walking the pavement: just another doomscrolling suit waiting for the pedestrian crossing lights to turn green. But as soon as you push open the hefty wooden door of the apartments’ ground-floor restaurant and step inside, shazam! You instantly become the wittiest, best looking and most confiden

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But what do you do if your surplus isn’t citrus, but parsnips? If you’re Wayfinder head chef Brendan Pratt and you’re building a larder and developing dishes ahead of a (rapidly approaching) September opening, a glut of parsnips from the Wayfinder garden is a golden opportunity to explore the vegetable’s possibilities beyond soup or the roasting tray. You might ferment the decidedly unphotogenic pastinaca sativa and add it to a dough that bakes into
Hit this Fremantle cafe for ace brunching, then return after dark for modern bistro thrills (if you can get a seat) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Cool Room is one of Fremantle’s hottest, most interesting cafes. I write this with confidence, knowing full well that the standard of brunching across Freo is high; that hotness is at odds with the low-Celsius connotations of the cafe’s name; and that The Cool Room, having turned one in August, is way past its honeymoon period, so people aren’t seeking it out (just) because it’s new. Rather, many are drawn to this suburban cafe because it’s old. Or looks old, at least. They come to admire th
