When you step inside a restaurant that is the winner of the World Champion Pizza Maker, there is no question of a doubt, one would feel almost intimidated, consuming food that are meant for demigods, or at least fit for the greatest emperor Caesar. So we were a bit surprised to say the least at how humble and cosy this place is, which is good news for us mere mortals, and travelers at that.

  Winning the award of being the best burger for Western Australia in 2012, is certainly no small feat. Being a big fan of burgers, we made it a point to visit one of their many little outlets, one of which is here at Leederville.

  If you’re looking for a fast, flavoursome fix of delicious Japanese cuisine, Taka in Barrack Street is unbeatable value for money. This cafe-restaurant is a student's favourite place to eat in Perth.

It's rare to get a meal for under AUD5 in the city of Perth these days. But at Chilliz, a Malaysian cafe, you can find meals ranging from AUD3.20 to AUD4.80. And what’s even better, the meals taste great.

The Re Store is located on Lake Street in Northbridge. The coffee here is simply excellent while the freshly made continental rolls are something you shouldn't miss if you ever visit the store.

Tony Roma's...ah Ribs, Seafood and Steak. All else just fades away into the background in an almost psychedelic artwork manner. Where all senses and locomotion are sync to achieve just one: shamelessly enjoying a nice foot-long full slab of ribs. Fair warning for those who are on a strict regiment or have had one too many and are paying the price in your sunset years (no disrespect whatsoever to food veterans), the following contents will make you cry. Read on at your own risk.

  This famous nougat maker has the humble beginnings of an Italian immigrants setting up their family recipe cake shop. It is must stop over during your swan valley visit. It has long been tradition for people bringing mini packs of nougat for friends and family back home after touring Australia, and Mondo Nougat makes one of the best soft nougats.

The Margaret River Chocolate Company makes and sells a mouth-watering range of chocolate bars, chocolate coated delights, hand made truffles, novelty chocolates, chocolate sauces and much more.

It is open from 9am-5pm every day of the year except Christmas Day.

Tucked by a gentle stream behind Royal Street, The Partisan mixes high end urban chic, with a little hint of rustic flair, and we haven't even begin describing their food yet. But by the end of your meal, don't kick yourself for being slightly partisan to this fine eatery.

Known for their dedication to producing the best tasting coffee. Yahava Koffee Works is a must visit. Just 25 minutes from Perth CBD, and located in scenic Swan Valley, make a scheduled stop here as you go about your food and beverage tour.

Station Street Market started form a humble beginnings in the mid 1980's as an open carpark market selling mainly fruit and vegetables. The character and atmosphere is reminiscent of the European style market places with about 45 stalls including a huge fruit and vegetable area.

After a sumptuous dinner, we decided to wash down all those delicious savory dishes with a night cap, but our night cap takes on a more mellow but sweet approach that can only be found at a chocolate boutique. So it was off to Koko Black at Claremont quarter.

Be it a cold and wet day or a hot bright sunny day, there's plenty of reason to visit Little Creatures. The warm rustic bar provides warmth for the cold traveler, and its straight from brewery to tap cold beers and ciders can quench the driest of throat.

Italian is the fifth most identified ancestry in Australia according to wikipedia, and their influence is perhaps most evident in their food, with many Italian restaurants lining the streets of Australia, not to mention the vast winery dotting the country side. We are thankful that proud Australians though they may be, still retain that wonderful culinary skills that are comparable to their comrades back in Italy. One such restaurant that we were lucky to dine in was Sandrino.
