Chefz Table - 27 Mar 2013

Chefz Table - Dessert

While open for breakfast and lunch, I think Chefz Table’s real strength and appeal lies in it’s name, the Chefz Table – degustation. For it’s location in East Perth away from the main CBD, I don’t think it will appeal to executive lunches. The al a carte menu is a bit too pricey for lunch and dinner, but the degustation is where the true potential lies. The variety and freedom afforded to the chefs in allowing them to create what is more than just a 4 course setting (or more courses depending on your preferences and budget) allows the restaurant to deliver a standout experience. I’m not sure if patrons may find the concept of being able to specify your likes and dislikes in designing a menu to your taste daunting or confusing, but they are definitely not limiting themselves to a set menu. I think the freedom and creativity shows in the meals which are well thought out, present numerous flavours and elements without being too confusing but complementary. The beef entree needed a little work but the fish entree, pork mains, and dessert were absolute standouts. A little more refinement and the experience can easily rise a few more notches to a very high standard of dining. Hopefully they can gain more exposure as this is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. . . . → Read More: Chefz Table – 27 Mar 2013

Nagoya Japanese Restaurant - 28 Feb 2012

If you’re in the mood for Japanese and you’re in East Perth, head down to Nagoya for dine in or takeaway. They have a range of dishes to choose from and the place seems popular as there was a steady stream of people coming and going and taking tables to enjoy their lunch. I enjoyed my chicken karaage bento and was filling. A cheap eat that is still tasty. . . . → Read More: Nagoya Japanese Restaurant – 28 Feb 2012

The Royal

While a nice selection on the menu and a great venue with excellent views, the meals are quite disappointing for pub food. Comparable places offer more and are far tastier and delivered much quicker. The positives were the selection of cakes and cheesecakes which were very nice. . . . → Read More: The Royal

Lamonts

Enjoyable night. I haven’t eaten at a fine dining establishment so one must appreciate the processes that go into the end product. One only has to watch a series of MasterChef to appreciate what goes into making one dish. A complex array of flavours melded together in one dish to be slowly savoured and appreciated. For a restaurant with big wraps I wasn’t blown away with what I ate but the the risotto was excellent. . . . → Read More: Lamonts
