Long Chim Tuck Shop, State Building, Corner St Georges Terrace and Barrack Street, Perth WA 6000, Phone 6168 7775.
Tuck Shop Lunch … Long Chim and Chef David Thompson burst onto the scene late last year. And, the awards started rolling in shortly afterwards. The focus of the Restaurant is Thai Street Food. Long Chim means “to come sample and taste”. And, after finding out that they had opened a Tuck Shop offering lunch specials, I made my way to the City.

Pinchos Tapas Bar Restaurant, Revisit, 749 Newcastle Street, Leederville WA 6007, Phone 9228 3008.
Down on the Corner … Out in the Street. Pinchos has expanded into the building next door and the venue now has a presence on Oxford Street. Some of that has to do with the large Pan of Paella cooking on the pavement. But mostly it’s because the space is now right on the Corner.
Galangal Thai Cuisine, 180 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn Wa 6016, Phone 9444 6005.
Cacophony Central … It’s alarming when you first step through the door of Galangal Thai Cuisine in Mount Hawthorn. The acoustics, or lack of, means the place is high maintenance on the ear drums. But, like everything, after a while you stop noticing and just start enjoying the food, the service and the company you are keeping.
Angel Falls Grill, Shop 16, Shafto Lane, 872 Hay Street, Perth Wa 6000, Phone 9481 6222.
3,212 feet … The lofty heights of Angel Falls, the world’s tallest waterfall. But the falls aren’t the only fascinating thing to come out of Venezuela. Food like Arepas, Cachapas and Empanadas spring to mind immediately. When we heard that Angel Falls Grill had opened in Shafto Lane, off we went.
Hangout On 20 Preston, 20 Preston Street, Como WA 6152, Phone 9474 1914.
Is Preston St the New Orange? … Pretty sure the last time I was in Como there wasn’t really a Strip. But on my way from the car to Hangout on 20 Preston I counted a good 7 or 8 Cafes. Also, there are a couple of High Rise Apartment Buildings going up nearby, so I imagine that will attract even more Cafes.
Henry On Eighth, 49 Eighth Avenue, Maylands WA 6051,
It’s all in the execution … Henry on Eighth Café and Bar had me at hello. The coffee aromas assured me I was going to enjoy my cappuccino. The subtle décor with its nod to Tudor life was pretty awesome as well.
Red Chilli Burger Bar, Unit 4 / 7 Scarborough Beach Road, North Perth WA 6006, Phone 9444 7754.
Black Bean Burger … Been waiting for a long time to find a Burger Bar that sells BBB’s. Red Chilli Burger Bar has been around since 2014 and how did I not know that !! The venue is located near The Classroom Bar and opposite McDonalds (that fine Scottish Restaurant) in North Perth.
Side Door BBQ, 497 Beaufort Street, Highgate WA 6003, Phone 6162 3610.
We’re All In This Together … Woke up this morning determined that Friday was BBQ day for me. Decided to try Side Door BBQ, which has been open since February. Little bit of a shaky start and then I was shown to a table.
The Goose Beach Bar and Kitchen, 1 Geographe Bay Road, Busselton WA 6280, Phone 9754 7700.
Fringe Dwellers … For just a day or so we were dwelling on the edge of WA’s wine country. In Busselton to peruse some wineries we set off to try lunch on the Jetty. The Goose Beach Bar and Kitchen sounded perfect.
Five Bar, 560 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley WA 6050, Phone 9227 5200.
Laid Back … These two little words would be a good way to describe Five Bar in Mount Lawley. It is a comfortable environment and the welcome on entering the bar is five star. From the crew who brought us 399 Bar in Northbridge.
