WA's fave winter fest, Cabin Fever, is back in all its cosy glory. Running from Friday 18 to Sunday 27 July, the 10-day festival will see a string of mouth-watering events pop up down south, from Busselton to Margaret River—providing loads of opportunities to devour all the food, wine and beer your body can handle while getting nice 'n toasty with your fellow foodies.

With so much Perth food news going down it's easy to miss a thing or two, but luckily we've got you covered. Here's all the Perth food news you missed this week.

Long gone are the days of Perth’s winter hibernation, where the city streets were quiet and it was blissfully easy to score a premium table at your favourite foodie hotspot.
