City Farm Cafe, East Perth

Organic chicken and salad roll from City Farm Cafe

The new City Farm Cafe in East Perth is a great place to get lunch. All the food is made fresh onsite from organic ingredients and produce. So far, I’ve enjoyed muffins, chicken and salad bread sandwiches, toasted focaccia and the most amazing chicken and ginger soup. It’s located at City Farm, an organic community permaculture farm on the edge of Perth city.

Pancakes at Carillon, Perth

Mini pancake stack with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup

Restaurant review. Service was friendly and fast, food was delicious. An all-day menu featuring more than just pancakes. A menu specially for the kids. My Pancakes Aussie Sunrise included two fluffy buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter, fried egg, grilled banana and pineapple and a choice of bacon or sausage. A drizzle of maple syrup and I was in breakfast heaven.

Mrs Mac's limited edition meat lovers pie innards

Product review. Mrs Mac’s Limited Edition Meat Lovers pie features a rich meaty, spicy gravy with chunky steak, bacon, cabanossi and pepperoni. It tastes great with tomato sauce or just on its own. It’s available from June to August in Australia and New Zealand. If you don’t like chilli though, be warned – it’s a little spicy.
