How great are Mums? Mine is especially lovely. And funny and kind, and was away on holidays this year for her birthday so I didn’t get to spoil her. I decided an early Mother’s Day treat was in order. I’d heard a rumour that C Restaurant (Perth’s only revolving restaurant) had recently gotten savvy with […] Read more…
Perth
Grill’d, Shafto Lane, CBD (and other locations)
Oh My Grill’d! There’s a new salad dealer in town and they mean business! Intrigued by the ‘We’ve Fixed Our Salads!’ sign I spotted on Hay Street, I just had to skip on down Shafto Lane to find out what was going on. And HELLO, there’s a new Grill’d on the block! I’ve been […] Read more…
Daily Planet, Mount Lawley
I’d read mixed reviews about the Daily Planet Cafe on Perth vegan forums and protested as Dom dragged me past Veggie Mama last Sunday morning (we still love you, Veggie Mama! We will be back!). I get so tired sometimes of paying $18 for a couple of mushrooms on toast at non-veg cafes where you have […] Read more…
V Burger Bar, East Victoria Park
The fact that it was almost 2pm on a Friday and the place was packed should have been the giveaway. As I jostled my way to the counter to peruse the menu and place my order, the wait staff were friendly and attentive. With enthusiasm they called the Chef in to consult on vegan […] Read more…
Thailicious, Northbridge
I love how Thai restaurants in Australia (or everywhere?) have such kooky names. Any restaurant that can get me giggling before I even enter their premises is a winner in my book. It doesn’t get much more zany than ‘Thailicious’, and the fact that they’re located in Northbridge was enough to get me giggling […] Read more…
Metrio & Co, North Perth
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…
Wagamama, Subiaco
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…
City Farm Cafe, East Perth
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…
CNR Cafe, Northbridge
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…
Annalakshmi on the Swan
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…
Aisuru Sushi, Northbridge
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…
Vegan P.I. and the Undercover Brunch
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…
Source Foods, Highgate
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…
Jus Burgers, Northbridge
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…
