Born from a love of coffee, Perth cafe Felix & Co in Nedlands sources the best beans from roasters around Australia, focusing on seasonal fresh crop blends and single origins.

Loved by locals for their super smooth coffee (they're brewing Blacklist Coffee Roasters), Sprolo is a little South Perth cafe with a big heart. The 'Traditional Singaporean' breakfast - comprising of half boiled eggs, sourdough toast and kaya (coconut and egg jam) is definitely one of the more interesting Perth brekkies we've tried. The cafe's name is a mash-up of ‘Spro’ (baristas term for espresso) and ‘yolo’. Get your booty down there stat!

We have always loved Wassup Dog so we were pretty ecstatic when they opened a permanent shop in East Perth. But don't worry, they are still rolling around in their food truck at various night markets in Perth. With organic beef, free range chicken and a vegetarian option (yep, vegetarian hotdogs, you read that right!) and some freakin' awesome homemade garlic mayo, it's no wonder we dream about these dawgs all week long.

Ramen fans know to head to Perth Japanese eatery Dosukoi at the Fremantle markets for bowls of liquid gold.

While some of you might remember Connections Nightclub as the dark and dingy gay club of your youth, those in the know are heading there pretty regularly to play a bit of Bingay and watch a drag show or two.

Perth’s pizza king, Theo Kalogeracos, is back in business in Leederville with his new business venture, Theo & Co. You can expect the same quality of pizzas as the original Little Caesars Pizzeria and a whole lot of amazing new creations. We are lusting so hard over the amazeballs Nonna’s Special—in-house Italian meatballs with a rich tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan and parsley—and the Los Pollos Hermanos—a roasted red capsicum sauce with mozzarella, crunchy battered chicken, avocado, red onion, mayo and specialty blue salt (which we think is actually crack, it’s super addictive). If you're dining in you can't pass up one of the skillet pizzas, deep dish and filled with cheese these bad boys will give you cheese dreams for days. As for dessert, you can't go wrong whatever your choice!

With good service, good atmosphere and great food, East Victoria Park restaurant The Prophet might just become your new fave eatery.

If you really want to try those extra things on the menu you might just have to go back, or get ready to unbutton your pants.

Waffles from Northbridge cafe Superstar Waffles are not your standard breakfast waffle. Flavour combos like banoffee, warm apple pie and the tried and true peanut butter mousse with Oreo crumble escalate these superstars way in to the dessert category. Having said that, we certainly wouldn't judge you for having one for breakfast...just sayin.

We love hot dogs and we love Perth food trucks... so it makes sense that we double love Wassup Dog. Hanging out in North Fremantle at Mojo's most weekends to satisfy your late night hot dog cravings, you can also find them at various night markets about town. With organic beef, free range chicken and a vegetarian option (yep, vegetarian hot dogs, you read that right!) and some freakin' awesome homemade garlic mayo, it's not wonder we dream about these dawgs all week long. Check out their website or Facebook page for locations and opening hours.

Finally we can get pho in Subiaco! That's right, gone are the days of having to drive the torturous 11 minutes to Northbridge for a decent Vietnamese feed! The decor at Fee Fi Pho Fum is cheap and cheerful, and so is the food. With the pho coming in under the $10 mark and a banh mi for less than $8, we would very happily come back here again and again.

Look no further than Perth restaurant Sparrow for cheap and tasty Indonesian take away (some dine in available, if you’re lucky) with cheery local hospitality. It’s by no means fine dining, but the locals pack in every evening to get their hands on favourites like the Beef Rendang. Delicious!

While we used to think of Lost Society as a place for hip young things to bump and grind (are the kids saying 'bump and grind' these days?), their new fusion menu proves it's also the perfect spot to head after work for some bar snacks or a more substantial dinner. But don't worry, in the late hours of the weekend, the bar still transforms into your favourite dance spot, playing hip hop and r&b while the bar pumps out espresso martinis by the dozen.
