Couples

We love a fancy wine list as much as the next person, but you know what we’re loving more at the moment? Saving our hard-earned cash (special thanks to the cozzie livs). Going out can be a major indulgence these days—and we obvi love getting out and about—but sometimes we need to put our budgeting hats on.

There are some seriously romantic finds in here and no matter what your style; we have you covered.

There’s nothing like a long and luxurious lunch to make you feel like you’re living your best life. No other meal has quite the same feel to it; there’s something about lingering through the middle of the day, over a meal that’s usually pretty utilitarian, to give you a sense of time and life slowing down for a bit. While the Perth dining scene boasts a pretty laid-back vibe all round, there are some places more conducive of all-afternoon-lunch-affairs than others. So grab your friends, park up for a bite and wind up accidentally-on-purpose staying all day at one of these best spots for a long lunch in Perth!

What’s not to love about getting dolled up in a fancy outfit, eating tiny cakes and sandwiches, sipping tea and pretending for two hours that you’re actually really sophisticated. For some of us, high tea in Perth is the perfect opportunity to enjoy free-flowing drinks and finger-licking pastries all afternoon. For others, it’s a weekly occurrence to drink tea that’s unmissable. Either way, it’s an extremely popular way to bring people together.

Perth CBD restaurants have been doing it tough the last few years, but with COVID in the rearview and people discovering the joys of actually getting dressed and going to the office again, things are looking up.

From saucy salsa lessons to divine degustations, here are the best things to do this Valentine's Day in Perth if you're really keen to impress someone.

There are plenty of adventures to be had—from hunting down serial killers to stopping a viral outbreak.

What can we say? Some things just get better with age. Like a good pinot, sharp cheddar or the gift that is Hugh Jackman, we can safely say that ten-pin bowling has levelled up over the years.

It's no secret that we are a bit obsessed with the Perth Hills and all they have to offer, so we're just a teensy bit excited by the return of this cracking bonfire and mulled cider festival.

Fire up the group chat and start planning your next picnic. These are the best picnic spots in Perth.

Kumokumo is about to hit Australia and while our waistlines might be terrified, our mouths are already drooling.

Make the most of the rest of the year with the best things to do in Perth in October.

We don’t care what you say, looks do matter when it comes to finding a Perth bar you want to hang out in for hours on end. A good drinks list is important, yes. Food is also important. But once those two factors are taken care of (and really, they should be a given at any good bar), all anyone wants is to sit somewhere pretty and drink themselves silly—but not too silly, these are Perth’s most beautiful bars after all.

When you’re in need of a vaycay but you just can't get away, you might want to consider a staycation at The Ritz-Carlton Perth instead.

Fact: dogs are the best. While Perth is quite a dog loving city with some killer pooch-friendly bars, cafes and beaches, we love any excuse to bring our fluff monsters out with us.

There’s not much we love more than breakfast in bed, but cooking it yourself can be a real drag. Luckily there’s no need any more thanks to the guys at The Aviary who are introducing breakfast in bed on their rooftop thanks to their Poppin’ Pancake Brunch.

Watch a movie in a leather armchair? No thanks, why would we when we could be lounging back in the plush luxury of a daybed?

If summer wasn’t already looking bloody gorgeous, it will be after reading this.

It’s no secret that us Perth people love a good road trip, but it seems we don’t head north that often, instead favouring our beloved south-western wine region when the mood strikes. We had to wonder why, given the vastness of our beautiful state, and so recently we decided to go against popular opinion and head north-east for an overnighter in Northam.

An immersive cocktail bar that promises theatrics and is housed in the Fremantle Prison? The Magic Squirrel Chapter 2 is a no-brainer, for obvious reasons.

Spring is in the air and love should be too, but Christmas is also on the horizon which likely means most of us are feeling a little strapped for cash. Sound like you? We’ve got your back.

Forget cheese platters, we're all about entire tables covered in cheese, meat, fruit, lollies and everything in between! Grazing tables are where it’s at for basically any event from a garden picnic to a wedding dinner table. More is more when it comes to nailing this style, but we’re happy to leave it to the pros! 

Who says lawn bowls is a game for the oldies? We've decided adulthood is all about organised activities that involve a little bit of competition, a lot of banter and reasonably priced drinks. So gather your friends and get organised.
