Markets On Rokeby, Corner Rokeby and Bagot Roads, Subiaco WA 6008.
Elephant in the Room … Markets on Rokeby could definitely use some Novocaine for the Soul. This is not so much a review as a lament for lost opportunities.

Siena’s Sister – CLOSED
StandardSiena’s Sister, 500 Beaufort Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 9227 7762.
Siena’s Sister Roars Back to Beaufort … It was an institution really, the former Sienas that sat in this very same building. But the Restaurant we all knew and loved is back with a bounce in it’s step and a clean, bright makeover. So, the new name reflects its tie-in with Siena’s Leederville.
Nash and Co – Coffee – CLOSED 2016
StandardNash and Co, 200 Whatley Crescent, Maylands WA 6051.
Shakshuka and Surprises … Headed off to Nash and Co for brunch this morning. This is a surprising venue, housed as it is in an old building on the Maylands Café Strip. It’s full of nostalgic bric-a-brac and is laid out like someone’s home.
ACE Pizza – CLOSED MAY 2016 – Woodfired Pizza
StandardACE Pizza, 448 Beaufort Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 0499 448 000.
Dining in the Dark … Lit by Candlelight, a Woodfired Pizza Oven and a Neon Sign. Throw in a few regular electric lights as well and the result is charming. Ace Pizza is housed in a lovely old stand alone building at the tail end of the Beaufort Street Café Strip.
Tan Po Po Japanese Tea House – CLOSED SEPT 2016
StandardTan Po Po Japanese Tea House, 623 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley, Phone 9328 8313.
No Frills, Simple Home Cooked Fare … Was pointed at this little Tea House on Beaufort Street and pushed in their direction. A friend said if you want tasty Japanese at a good price then try Tan Po Po. So I did.
On Beaufort Street

Bellissimo Cappuccino … Today saw me visiting the EnEx100 Mall in the City again. It was early, I was tired and the need for coffee won me over. There are quite a few coffee shops in this Mall, so who to choose?
Cappuccino
Gooseberries – CLOSED 2017
StandardGooseberries, Unit 41 / 33 Blythe Avenue, Yokine WA 6060, Phone 9201 2073.

Wet Towelettes – just add water
Burger Edge Watertown – CLOSED 2017
StandardBurger Edge Watertown, Shop H9, Watertown Shopping Centre, 840 Wellington Street, West Perth WA 6005, Phone 9481 0338.
Peri Peri Chicken Burger … Shopping for a cheap doona cover at Watertown (formerly Harbour Town) the other day when Xena decided she needed to eat a Burger. There is only one burger place in the Centre so off we went to Burger Edge Watertown.
Food For Me – Cafe – Coffee Shop – CLOSED 2017
StandardFood For Me, 877 Albany Highway, East Victoria Park WA 6101, Phone 9472 0333.
Foodie haven … Having walked past Food For Me quite a few times I decided it was time to try their wares. There was a bit of an ulterior motive because we were hunting caramel slices. Having already lucked out at two other cafes this was our last attempt.
Metrio and Co Cafe / Coffee Bar – CLOSED MAY 2016
StandardMetrio and Co, 36-38 Angove Street, North Perth WA 6006, Phone 9227 0077.
Revisit … Heard rumours that Metrio and Co had been sold, so decided to make a return visit and see how things were looking. The café looks the same, the food in the display case looks the same, the service was as friendly as ever. So far, so good.
