I was staying at the Breakfree, which is next to this restaurant, and was really hungry so ordered room delivery from The Tandoori Hut. My meal was delivered prompty by a very polite man. The takeaway serving sizes were good, and the meal was excellent value at around $15 for a meat dish.

The garlic naan was a little dry but was still delicious. The raita was perfect and the Vindaloo had just the right amount of chilli. I'd eat here again!

Approximate cost: $16

I didn't know what to think when we first sat down in this restaurant after walking up and down the Pier at 5:30 pm looking for somewhere to grab a light meal. I found the decor tacky, however I quickly warmed to the place after I found out that it was happy hour with $6 pina coladas (cash only at the bar during happy hour, and you can't add it to your meal bill).

We ordered entree size meals as we were after something light, and were very impressed with the quality. My soft shell crab was particularly delicious at around $16.

Overall, good food and not badly priced considering the location - however, not my favourite place on Eagle Street Pier.

I had breakfast at The Groove Train on a Sunday morning. Seating was easy to find, the staff were pleasant, and the breakfast menu was extensive. When our meals came, the serving sizes were giant! I had an egg white omelette which was delicious. Great value for a fantastic location and good quality food.

Fantastic tapas, service and view over the river. We had tapas for dinner along with a glass of wine (good wine selection). This is the first time I've seen Buratta on a menu in Australia, and it was just as good as in Italy.

The tapas isn't cheap, but it's not expensive either - especially considering the location. The prices are certainly fair, and worth the spend for the high quality.

This review is for Tong 86, Northbridge WA

I love Tong 86 for what it is. It's a no-nonsense, no-frills Korean BBQ restaurant.

The quality is pretty good compared to most other, more expensive Korean restaurants in Perth. It's great for a casual meal with a few friends. The atmosphere is loud, there are K-pop videos playing on a big screen and whenever you want the waitress you just press a button on your table, which makes an annoying sound and displays your table number on a screen. It's packed with genuine Koreans, which is a point in favour for me.

The staff are overworked and will often forget to bring you things you've asked for, but if you ask me, it's all part of the frenzied experience!

This Korean BBQ is great for gluten intolerant people, as most of the meat is not marinated, meaning there are lots of options.

It's also ideal for the budget conscious, with some BBQ sets only $10, and free corkage on BYO wine (at least I think it was free, or it was very cheap).

This review is for Bravos Restaurant, Victoria Park WA

Good solid Italian restaurant with consistent food quality and nice staff. It's not my favourite restaurant, and it's a bit away from the main Victoria Park strip, but it's peaceful and the decor is a bit different, which makes it interesting. I had a prawn pasta which was delicious. We went with a group of 10 and everyone really liked their meals.

Approximate cost: $25

This review is for Public & Co, South Fremantle WA

We celebrated a friend's anniversary at Public & Co two weeks ago, and had drinks and tapas style food. I give the food 10/10 for quality, presentation and taste. The staff were very attentive and pleasant, accommodating our every need (which makes sense as they had lost our booking - but managed to compensate for this wonderfully). The atmosphere is funky yet romantic. Great for catching up with some friends. Not cheap, but worth what you pay.

I just love this restaurant. It's so popular however, and there is very limited seating, that if you want to sit down (at least on the weekend) you need to get there at 5:30 when it opens. There are always a lot of people getting takeaway from here though.

I highly recommend the entree crab claws - deep fried balls of shredded crab meat with chilli mayo - they are to die for! We had a number of other dishes to share from across the menu, all very fresh and of the highest quality (we particularly loved the red curry). I highly recommend this restaurant for good quality, cheap asian meals.

This review is for Italians, Dianella WA

My family and I love this restaurant and frequently come here to celebrate special occasions. It doesn't look much from the outside and the name is less than appealing, but the food is just genuine, home made Italian and it's absolutely delicious and excellent value. I've had a number of the pasta dishes, and couldn't fault any of them.

Approximate cost: $20-25

This review is for Cafe At Hyatt, Perth WA

Wow. The buffet breakfast here is the best I've ever had (and use your entertainment book voucher for 25% off!). Barista coffee is included in the buffet, and the chefs will happily make eggs any way you like, pancakes and waffles. The selection is fantastic - there's even smoked salmon, chocolate and berry coulis! The staff were pleasant and attentive. My only wish is for more types of bread (just white, wholemeal and English muffins were provided). I will be back!

Approximate cost: $36
