After seeing yummy looking instagram shots of Cafe 2 Twentyfour in Perth, Western Australia, I put this down as a list of places I should visit while I was there. My mum, sister and I headed there for brunch one morning. Even on a weekday morning, the cafe was nearly packed with only 2 spare […] Read more…

Walt and Burley recently introduced its weekend breakfast menu. There was talk about it opening for breakfast after it had settled in to the Kingston Foreshore so I was super excited to try it out. Love the idea of brunch by the lakeside in Spring. The one page menu has enough to satisfy most people […] Read more…
