Gourmet Take Home Food … Walked into 2nd Ave IGA and was blown away by the presentation of the fresh food stacked in neat rows by the front door. All the fruit and vegetables looked kind of perfect, not many blemishes to be seen amongst this lot.
Evropa Continental Deli, Shop 5, North Perth Plaza, Fitzgerald Street, North Perth WA 6006, Phone 9328 2784.
Time tested … North Perth shopping area isn’t very large but there are a number of shops that I visit there frequently. Like Istanbul Kitchen for their freshly made Turkish Bread and Hummus. And Evropa Continental Deli for their home style food.

Food and Wine … In 1936, during the Great Depression, John and Maria Re took a risk. They pawned Maria’s engagement ring to buy a property in Northbridge. Here they opened The Re Store. Which was one of Perth’s first retailers of continental foods. John and Maria imported their stock from Europe.

Food Glorious Food … There are a few reasons I stop by the David Jones Foodhall when I’m in the City. Mostly it’s because of the food but sometimes it’s just to check out what’s new. I have some favourites that are always a draw.
