The Merivale Winter Feasts menus offer a fair bit of variety, if you’re in the mood for Sushi, Teppanyaki or Tapas? You’re covered for it all! But when my co-workers asked for a recommendation on where to go for lunch my only response was, ‘Meat!’ and off to Mad Cow we headed. The Mad Cow restaurant sits on the base floor of the Merivale’s Ivy complex and bills itself as a ‘Fabulously flamboyant New York-style grill’, and yes they serve up a lot of meat.

Onde is situated just off the busy main artery that is Victoria Road – a drab grey little building incongruously sitting next to a bright blue retail store. If I was a bit put off with its exterior, it did its best to welcome me with a cosy and warm interior, with a touch of modern funkiness.

A few friends and I decided to spend a weekend in the Margaret River region, which is located in Western Australia – about 6 hours from Perth (yes, it was a massively long drive, but so so so worth it). We spent long hours in the car, stopped by places to be all touristy, and [...]

We used to frequent Oscars so often last year that we had to call for a stop to holding our birthday dinners there. The 2 biggest draws to the bar restaurant for us were: the ribs and the cocktails. The meat’s also wonderfully drenched in hickory sauce and the wide-range of cocktails are usually very [...]
