Cicerello's Fish and Chips, Fremantle (2 stars)

Really Really ordinary to poor overall.

It is great sitting out side on a sunny day but otherwise $30 for Fish and Chips here is just poor.

These places really need to lift their game.

Go to Little Creatures.

Balti Indian Cuisine, CBD, 3 stars, (08) 9211 3306

Balti Indian Cuisine, 3/2 St Georges Tce, Perth 6000.

I remember Balti curries from my youth in Birmingham. It was probably impossible for this place to live up to my memories of these curries so it is difficult for me to be objective.

Food:
  • Nice enough, good sized portions, the lentil dish was excellent, the peneer dish less so.
  • We had starter sized portions that where plenty big enough.
Front:
  • Service was good enough, the food came quickly but the process of collecting our plates. $63 for 2 with a beer each is ok I guess.
Final Word: Cannot decide if I will return.

Broadway Fish & Chips,Nedlands

130 Broadway Nedlands, 6009

Great Fish and Chips, as simple as that. One of the best on Perth for sure based on my experience.

Big portions of chips also so be careful when you order.


Phone: (08) 9386 2341. Close at 8pm most days

Southern End Restaurant, Denmark (2 stars)

427 Mount Shadforth Road
Denmark
3 km west of Denmark

Face, Facilities and Function

The location is great sitting high up on the hill overlooking the valley and the sea below. The service was friendly and slow, or should I just be a bit more relaxed, this is a holiday...


Food

The beer is nice, really nice.

The Food really a disappointment. This is mostly fake posh food (FPF). They are trying to hard to be up market and have forgotten the basics.

The Stout beef pie was a bland stew with a little patch of pastry on the top. If you are going to call it a Pie it needs a certain amount of pastry, this one does not cut it. ($20)

The field mushrooms with the "drizzle of Cabernet jus" was swimming in something akin to balsamic vinegar. Really not good. ($23)

The seafood "Frenzi" was very ordinary and expensive for what it was ($42)

Final Word

The poor food is remembered more than the view for me here. If I go back I will order something simple, perhaps fish and chips, that has to be better.

The Paddo (2 stars)

The Paddington Ale House, 141 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn, 6016

Big and noisy with little character and smells of beer and cigarettes. If you group is less than 10 with any females, don't go.

The range of beers is of course excellent and the TV's everywhere makes it ok to watch a game.

Ohnamiya Japanese, Applecross, 3.5 stars, Not open late

34 Kearns Crs, Applecross 6153

Always busy, basic bento box food. Great service.

A quick and tasty mid week meal.

The Burger Bistro, CBD, Shafto Lane, 3 stars

After Hero Burger in North American. What to say.. humm what to say.

Nice enough I think. After Hero Burger it is expensive and the chips are ordinary. Close to $20.

A good dinner on your way home perhaps.

The organic chicken is great - perhaps some organic beef perhaps or lamb would be nice.

ECQ Bar at Quay Grand Suites Sydney, Circular Quay

Quiet, relaxed, right on circular quay what could be better.  They do some great wine and well prepared, if unimaginative food.

We alway think about having a drink here at some point in the day.
