This new retro-style chicken shop from the founder of Short Order is serving up the juiciest hot chicken tenders, beautiful burgs and a covetable chicken skin sandwich that is so time intensive to make, there's only a few available each day (but boy is it brilliant). 

This WA-themed bar is the perfect place to stop for a drink after work. They’ve got a ridiculous amount of tap beer, which rotates regularly, and a real focus on local brews and top notch cocktails.

If you live or work around Osborne Park you're likely well aware that when it comes time to grab an after work drink, your options are incredibly slim.

Hyde Perth Kitchen + Cocktails is the perfect warm-weather hangout, thanks largely to the immaculate rooftop vibes and banging pool. So we're pretty stoked to see it finally reopen its doors just as the weather is heating up.

Perth cafe May Street Larder has become a mainstay in the East Fremantle brunch scene, and it's not just for their famous fried chicken waffles (which understandably is a major drawcard). Offering an epic breakfast menu—think: smoked beef brisket hash, apple pie french toast and breakfast burritos, May Street Larder's philosophy centres around seasonal foods and the best produce WA has to offer.

Meet Goods Bakery, a new bakery slash cafe that has just thrown open its doors in West Leedy down near Bad Love Burgers and Nowhereman Brewing.
