Really cool store with sooooo much to choose from. They have everything for the home and really cute funky designs too. A little pricey but its all really good quality and some items are quite unique that would find hard to find elsewhere. I find it hard to leave without purchasing something! Friendly staff too.

A really cool little cafe and bookshop in one! Absolutely love the concept and love browsing through the books and trinkets whilst waiting for my coffee. Lattes are made well and muffins are fresh and tasty. Very reasonably priced. Great if you are looking for religious books or christening gifts as they sell all this type of things. Definitely worth stopping in for a coffee and browse.

I stumbled across this hip and trendy little coffee shop in southern river whilst waiting for an appt next door. I stopped in for a latte and it was lovely and very well made. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. The food looked fresh and plenty to choose from. Prices were very reasonable. Will come here again for sure.

Really good for take away pasta. Not easy to find fresh and affordable take away pasta but this place certainly does! Pasta is made in front of you which is great yo watch whilst waiting for your order. Staff are friendly and wait is long at all, only took about 15 minutes. I loved the chicken and mishroom rqvioli or the pumpkin ravioli is also yummy! Huge selection it is difficult to choose just one! Highly recommend!

I enjoy coming to the mullalloo but have only been on weekdays for dinner andhhaven't experienced the busyness of a friday or Saturday night here...I've heard it hets very busy and service can be slow. The experiences I've had here have all been positive and I will continue to dine here. I can recommend the oysters Kilpatrick, very fresh and delicious as well as the steak has always been cookes to perfection. Beautiful views if you choose to sit outside and lovely modern decor throughout. A very trendy and fresh place. Can be considered a little overpriced for food and drinks so be mindful of that.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Fraser's Restaurant, West Perth WA

Extravagant restaurant situated within the beautiful Kings Park. The views would have been lovely if you were seated near the windows however we were seated near the front door and toilets which wasn't so nice. Service was what you would expect foe a fine dining restaurant, very polite and attentitive although I wouldn't say it was anything extraordinary. I thought the menu was a little limited and I struggled to find something I wanted. I settled with a xhicken dish and thoroughly enjoyed it but should have ordered a side dish of vegetables or salad as the chicken came on its own, just a piece of chicken withsome fancy sauce drizzled over it and around the plate. We were actually still hungry after we left and thats unusual for me as I usually get full fairly quickly. The ambiance is lovely and if you wanted to impress someone or had money to burn you should come here, however if you're hungry and like a good hearty meal then I wouldn't recommend it.

Approximate cost: $35-50

Great pub with lots of outdoor seating with heating outside in the winter. Can get very busy tho and have found it hard to get tables at times. The service could be better as we've had to wait awhile for food and drinks at times. Perhaps could hire more staff on busy times? Food has always been lovely, burgers, pizzas and steaks have all been good. A little pricey for drinks but then again most pubs are all pricey these days.

Approximate cost: $20-30

Good spot for a beer and some lunch. Nice to sit ousside or up top on the deck and watch the crowd go by and enjoy a glass of wine or cold beer. Food is ok, lots of daily specials. I've tried the pizzas and they're delicious and reasonably priced too. Curries are also mive here. Band plays on the weekends and crowd is a good age range from 20's-50's, 60's+

Used to dine here a lot but have not returned since finding a dead bug in my salad (it was attached to a lettuce leaf which obviously hadnt been washed properly). I showed the waitor only to be accused of putting it there myself....why would I as I hadn't even eaten more than 3 mouthfuls of my food so it served me no purpose to do so. I said exactly this to the waiter who came back with the manager who accused me of the same thing. I was horrified as was my mother and brother (we were there to celebrate my mothers birthday). They reluctantly offered to replace it and I had to wait 20 minutes by which time my mother and brother had finishes their dinner and I was no longer hungry as my mother shared half her pasta with me. They didn't even offer to give me my meal for free and when I mentioned this to them they offered to charge me half price for my meal...I was insulted by that as I didn't think I should of had to pay anything considering the horrendous service that was shown to me. I paid half for my meal and have never returned. It completely ruined our night. The bug in my food was not the issue as I wasn't overly bothered by it, but it was the horrendous customer service and the way they treated me (like a liar and a cheapskate who didn't want to pay $25 for her meal!!) Very very disappointing.

Bennys is a vibrant and hip restaurant which not only functions as a restaurant but also opens up to a bar complete with a band/DJ on the weekends! Very cool and the place to be. This place goes off! Food is also good and reasonably priced. Have had the Benny burger and chips and it was delicious.

Approximate cost: $20-25
