Modern interior decoration - very pleasant. A bit on the pricey side, so it's not always full at lunch time. been there twice and both times, it's been rather quiet. Their smoke salmon salad is fantabulous. I ordered that both times and both times, it's kept up to its high standard.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Shilla Korean BBQ, East Perth WA

It's a very weird place to get to: If you want to park in the basement, you need to press the button like as if you're going to someone's apartment. A staff member will answer, let you in and then you park in designated spots. After parking, it's some maze to get there. Alternatively, park and walk around the building. I'm not sure how this place survives but maybe because the way to get there is almost like trekking that makes it unique!

Very family oriented restaurant. During school holidays and weekends, the place is prams galore! the staff who served us was very nice - though packed and while we were in the Q, he said we could park our pram away from our table but later, a table freed up with pram space, so he reserved it for us.

You can watch footy on their TVs dotted around the place. Good food with large portions. Self service for drinks but the food is brought out to you.

This review is for Fibber McGee's, Leederville WA

It's a darkly lit old-styled Irish pub that servers good food. Servings are quite large - fit for big sized blokes - making it good value for money if you are a big eater. Friendly staff.

Approximate cost: $18

This review is for Wino's, Margaret River WA

Quite a typical pub restaurant. Menu has limited items. Food tastes just a little above average. Ambience: lighting is dim but cosy. Lots of space for a big crowd. Spatchcock = chicken. I asked and then later the next table too. They must need to answer this question quite a bit!

This review is for Jo-Joe's Dial-A-Pizza, Alfred Cove WA

they've got a decent range of pizzas. their basic pizzas are equivalent to the Pizza Hut "extra chicken", "extra this and that" type. the ingredients are quite generous.

Approximate cost: $10

This review is for Grand Palace Chinese Restaurant, Perth WA

Lovely food. Great wines. Ambience is modern, cosy, east meets west styling and rather stylish. Waiters are smartly dressed and friendly. not your quick chop-chop busy bee typical type of chinese restaurant. It's a place for office clients/ special night out. Like the upstairs pergola

Approximate cost: $22

This review is for Hog's Breath Cafe, Joondalup WA

Hog's Breath makes good steak. Their interior decoration is rather American which suits their theme. It's a great place to take the family there. I'd take international visitors who are after some typical western food there.

Approximate cost: $26

This review is for Divido, Mount Hawthorn WA

Their website reveals a menu pricing like any other fine dining restaurants'. Little did we know that on Saturdays, only the set menu is available and you're cornered into ordering a 3 or 5 course meal (min cost $80/person). (It just states that a minimum of 3 courses must be ordered.) The menu with individual pricing for the entree, mains and desserts is not available. Still not realising we had "ordered" the 3 course meal, we were confused as to why the food items had no prices. Much later, from the bill, we found out that we had paid for the 3 course meal and not 3 courses per person -- suddenly the whole menu system made sense - so sneaky!! We're happy to pay for a fine dining experience, however, we dislike restaurants that provide misleading information or "casually" slip things into your bill. Also, for the ambience, food and style of service (not fine dining service style), it's very expensive when compared to a real fine dining restaurant. If you still want to dine here, the duck is the best. I wont return only because I feel they are rather sly about the menu system.

Approximate cost: $50
