Now tell me, if this gorgeous mess was staring you in the face wouldn't you want to buy two? The very thought of having to share even a morsel of my Peanut butter and jelly cronut was making me sad. Marnee is the vivacious babe behind Sugar & Nice and she is my go to for anything baked, sweet and delicious in this town.
A Fish Called Inglewood is fast becoming a favourite for local eats. Damn good fish and chips!
One of my faves at Inglewood Night Markets is Satay on Charcoal. Satay chicken or beef served with peanut satay sauce, cucumber and coconut rice.
Sicilian olives and chorizo polenta
Amuse bouche - a delicate gazpacho
Every now and then I stumble upon a stream of food photos that I forgot to blog about. One glimpse and they transport me back those plates and places rich with flavour. Cecchi's has long been a favourite. A welcoming family restaurant serving modern renditions of Italian classics. Whilst the menu has turned over, refreshed as the months roll on, you will still find yourself with the plate just as pretty.
You can tell that each ribbon of the papperdelle is made with love.
Burnt sage and pea ravioli
Pour over silky chocolate ganache and then bite into the oozey middle of these ricotta doughnuts.
Threecoins is the literal translation of the family name Trequattrini and a new little joint that has opened on Beaufort Street down Inglewood way. A family affair founded on a common dream to bring home cooking, Trequattrini style, to the table.
Nothing delights me more than being heartily welcomed into la familia, with loud smiling voices and big bold gestures, and this is the vibe that echoes at Threecoins. Complete with red and white checkered tables and the fine flavours of regional Italian cuisine, I am chuffed to call this little trattoria my local.

Being greeted like old friends is something that is lost of our age of dining. As you walk through the door Dino Cecchi welcomes you, shows you to your seat and whisks away with your bottle of wine. A moment later you are sipping on your vino already learning what chef has in store for the hours ahead.
It really is a family affair with son, Mark Cecchi, only 21 years young heading up the kitchen. Spending years in the family Italian restaurant, then exploring traditional cooking at its roots in Italy, he then went on to refine his skills under Scott O'Sullivan at Red Cabbage. It is these influences that shine in your experience at Cecchi's.
Hidden down the quieter end of Beaufort Street this warm and welcoming restaurant was the perfect spot for a long table dinner with a bunch of friends. With Mark creating our feast upon request, we just had to bring the wine, enjoy the seasonal offerings and leave smiling.

I love dining with a bunch of girls who don't mind tucking in like hungry cowboys. The vibrant atmosphere of new local haunt Miss Kitty's Saloon was the perfect place to order mountains of comfort food. We celebrated Naomi's birthday over wine, laughter, suckling pig and ribs. Ye haaaw!

If you are craving a dash of Canadian charm with your bottomless jar of iced tea, then head to Inglewood’s latest eatery for a comfort food fix. This little piece of the US is the brainchild of Perth’s favourite Scotsman, Iain Lawless, and Liam Atkinson who spent a few years in the Rocky Mountains polishing up his Western ways in the kitchen. Miss Kitty’s Saloon is full of all those things that make you smile and want to bootscoot. Doughnuts, ribs for breakfast, poutine and fried chicken on waffles, what more could you ask for.
Miss Kitty's Saloon
882 Beaufort Street
Inglewood WA
Miss Kitty's Saloon draws inspiration from the wild wild west serving up delights such as sticky tamarind ribs, frickles (yes .. fried pickles), devilled eggs and crunchy delicious fried chicken bits on a waffle bed. And that is just for breakfast!
The saloon is swiftly drawing enough cowboys to keep it rammed all week long so be sure to book. The perfect place for well priced, tasty food with a Canadian twang or a drink after work.
Some nights there is nothing better than ordering pub grub.
