The Checkout, IGA Leederville, 313 Vincent Street, Leederville WA 6007, Phone 9444 8431.
Gourmet Treats … The Checkout is a section of IGA in Leederville. It is a place to go for take home meals. Loads of quality meals ready to eat after a few minutes in the microwave. Think fresh Penne with a Tomato and Pesto Sauce with a few Kalamata Olives scattered around.
Take Home Meals
Scutti Markets, Shop 5, 67 Angelo Street, South Perth Wa 6151, Phone 9367 7688.
The Ultimate Delicatessen … Wow, Scutti Markets is a treasure trove of food. I used to come here years ago when it was called The Wingnut. It was the place to go for Cheese and Coffee. Oh, and Chocolate. I remember buying Lindt Chocolate and wondering what it would be like. But I digress. Back to Scutti Markets.

The Re Store Northbridge, 72 Lake Street, Northbridge Wa 6003, Phone 9328 1877.
Italian Chocolates … Unlike it’s sister store in Leederville, the Re Store Northbridge does not sell wine or spirits. But it has a very attractive outdoor dining area, right on Lake Street. Where they fit right in with the other cafes on the strip.

Charlies Fresh Food Market, 497 Walter Road East, Morley WA 6062, Phone 9279 1470.
Spinach and Ricotta Lasagne … Charlies Fresh Food Market in Morley has been around since 1964. It has undergone a couple of name changes and one building change since then. But, at heart, it’s still that same corner deli.
2nd Ave IGA, 2nd Avenue and Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley Wa 6050, Phone 9272 2900.
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.

Mondo Di Carne, 824 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley WA 6050, Phone 9371 6350.
Mondo Pies … Mondo Di Carne is primarily a Butcher Shop. They sell a large variety of Meats. Think Veal, Turkey, Wagyu Beef, Hams etc. It’s the place that most people head to around the Festive Season. To stock up on their Stuffed Turkey, Turkey Rolls and Glazed Hams.
Chez Jean Claude Patisserie, 333 Rokeby Road, Subiaco WA 6008, Phone 9381 7968.
Chicken Flute … Chez Jean Claude Patisserie Subiaco is located on Rokeby Road, at the Nicholson Road end. It is a Swiss Patisserie, not French, as you would expect. But as Swiss cuisine is influenced by cuisines from neighbouring Italy, Germany and France, there are traces of French cuisine in their products.

The Re Store, 231 Oxford Street, Leederville WA 6007, Phone 9444 9644.
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.
