Friday Feast - Blend

Blend is our local pizza joint.  It started as a little place in 2008, probably seated 40 in one go and provided great coffee a cracking wood fired pizza and tiramisu that the boys would dream about.  When the shop next door became vacant Blend expanded, this increased table numbers and menu but the food quality has not suffered one bit.  Later another shop became vacant and The Midnight Fox was born, a small wine bar that's well stocked and you can order pizza and other Blend delights. There is a great vibe here, though can be loud, it really caters for kids and its BYO.  I would highly recommend salt and pepper calamari.  The kids love the dancing queen and tiramisu.  For those keen on bike riding then pump up the tyres, don the lycra and ride with the Blenders. I would suggest booking, this place is very popular.

Friday Feast - fortysevenkirwan St ,Floreat

Mr A was the first in our family to venture here -he had  school breakfast and he raved and raved about this place- the home made baked beans were for him the winner.  So after much nagging we made the trek and I have to say I was not disappointed.  It was a pre school/ pre work brekky and already when we arrive just after 7am it was crowded. After the rave review from Mr A I and to try the home made bean and wow they were spot on  -the service was friendly and attentive.  It is great local neighbourhood joint - the fit out is not pretentious - as a treat Mr A took a larger than life muffin to school -I took a take away coffee to work. All I can say is get down to Kirwan St and be early.

Friday Feasts - Gordon St Garage, West Perth

Another Nick Trimboli venture  - the same grove, uber cool interiors  the coffee is right up there. Bread in Common bake bread, Gordon St roast the coffee. 

In its former life this was in fact a garage hence the name -clearly  an industrial feel and I love love the steel work and tiles.  The place is huge, large open spaces with exposed steel, concrete floor and industrial lights. So far I've had a coffee and smashed avocado, and I can say I was completely satisfied and would make the trip back for the exact same thing.
