- Subiaco
Subiaco Continental is a vote of confidence in a once-languishing precinct
The latest addition to the suburb’s dining scene is a breezy, bright, enjoyable space at the heart of downtown Subi, with all the hallmarks of a destination venue.

Stop the culinary cringe, it’s time we redefined what is ‘Australian food’
We are more than meat pies, Chiko rolls and pavlovas, but we are those things as well. And right now, our cultural identity has never been stronger.

Cooee! A taste of Australiana with a picturesque panorama of Perth
If you’ve ever stared in wonder at a Tom Roberts painting, trimmed a fleece on a classing table, or done circle work at a B&S ball like an idiot … well, Cooee is that kind of “Australian”.

Serious about wine? A trip through the South West reveals a surprise hidden in the woods
Tall Timbers in Manjimup looks like your standard fare tavern from the outside. Inside, however, you’ll find a very impressive showcase of local drops.

Ritz-Carlton’s sky-high Atria restaurant has the hype, glitz and views, but how’s the food?
This hotel restaurant is posh but modern, and dramatic in all the right ways (plus you can order steak and salad if that’s what you fancy).

Dessert first at Perth’s latest hangout for hungry artists and those who are just hungry

- Katoomba
Tempus Katoomba keeps things simple and cosy in the Blue Mountains
This no-funny-business bistro-style restaurant offers just about everything you could want after a day scaling Govetts Leap. All that’s missing is a fireplace.
