I love going to Metrio & Co for breakfast. The warm energy, fast service and large portions are a guaranteed winner to kick off any weekend day. In the past they didn’t have a lot of vegan options to write about – it was more a case of asking for alterations to dishes on […] Read more…
I’ve been to the Wagamama restaurants in London and Sydney many times in the past and always loved them, even though the food hall concept of communal tables can mean that your food doesn’t arrive at the same time as your friends. The food was usually worth the risk and there were usually only a […] Read more…
Once upon a time there was a hungry vegan who caught the train through Claisebrook Station every morning and wondered about the ‘Perth City Farm‘ rumoured and signposted to exist behind the large stone wall. An organic oasis and shining beacon of sustainability in the middle of the city?? She was curious, but not curious enough […] Read more…
I first spied photos of CNR Cafe’s vegan offerings when I joined the Perth Social Vegans Meetup Group and I’ve dreamed about visiting them ever since. Last weekend I finally got my wish… It was a Sunday afternoon… People lounged on bean bags in the Northbridge Piazza, soaking up the winter sunshine and the free […] Read more…
How good is Facebook? Oh I know it can be a black hole sometimes (time suckage, anyone?) but for finding information, events and long-lost friends, it’s pretty hard to beat. I had only been to Annalakshmi once before when my long-lost school friend Vish contacted me via Facebook to let me know that she would […] Read more…
Do you dream of a restaurant opening in Perth with a dedicated vegan menu? Well dream no more, my friend. It’s here and it’s enough to tempt this sparkly vegan right out of her food comfort zone. I’ve never been a Japanese food fan. I’ve only ever known sushi as cold, clammy rice rolls sold […] Read more…
I never have been the athletic type. Oh I did dance classes and stuff as a kid, but I classify that more as art than sport. When all the other ten-year old girls were out playing netball or hockey, I was curled up somewhere with a book. Or a series of books, to be exact. […] Read more…
I’ve been meaning to go back to Source Foods ever since they laid this incredible Tempeh Burger on me a few months ago. Check that baby out! I was on my own at the time. Do you know how hard it is to eat a massive burger like this on your own? Oh don’t worry, […] Read more…
When planning a recent trip to Sydney to visit friends and rock out at a Roxette concert in my best 80’s sparkles, I knew there was one stop we had to make… Funky Pies. Eco-funky, vegan deliciousness. When in Perth, I get my fix from PAWS, but what could be better than visiting the Funky […] Read more…
mmmmm, burgers… A great burger is pretty hard to beat, but for some reason it’s pretty hard to find an awesome burger these days, right? Well fear not, because I have discovered that Jus Burgers serve up the best vegan burgers on the planet! I know, I know, that’s a huge call, but I’ve […] Read more…
Unless you’ve been living under a cactus, you’ll know that the recent arrival of La Cholita had all of Northbridge buzzing. Mexican tapas-style food and 67 types of Tequila??! Ole!! Word on the street was that they had some pretty smokin’ vegan options on their menu. So in the name of Mexican adventure I donned my best Senorita outfit, rounded […] Read more…
PAWS finally re-opened this week after an extended break over the summer holidays! WHOOHOO!! (Not that I’d been counting down or getting edgy wondering when I was going to get my next Funky Pies fix or anything…) The PAWS crew have been busy over the break – the re-organisation of the store looks […] Read more…
Hidden at the back of the Country Road store on Murray Street is a gorgeous little café, just perfect for a weekday laaaadies lunch. Located conveniently close to work and a firm favourite with my girlfriends and I, we’ve held many girly birthday celebration lunches there over the years. Sometimes we even let our […] Read more…
Ohhh vegan cupcakes, how I love thee… ♥ Now, I may not have enough experience yet to call myself a vegan cupcake expert, but I know what I like. And I know what completely rocks my world. I tried my first vegan cupcake from Kustom Cupcakes this afternoon and oh my holy hot fudge, was […] Read more…
