Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[XXRL]

Have eaten there 3 times. First was awesome. Second was okay. Third was shit.

I don't think I've ever eaten there. Had drinks there once, but the WC Eagles players quotient was way too high.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Could always go the Aviary and be very prepared to part with limbs.

I have still never been to the Aviary and it's something I'm very proud of. Almost as proud as not being to the Casino since the night of the 2014 World Cup.

 

[Beerfish]

Didn't realise the place had a rep. We only went there the first time to use the Entertainment Book voucher. Last time we went I had shorts and sandals on and the bouncer from the associated nightclub or whatever it is pounced on me at the door 'NO SANDALS! NO SHORTS!'. Yeah we're going to the restaurant dickhead so get back in your box.

Does it still have that astroturf for floor covering that will go out of fashion harder than shoulderpads and mullets?

Er no it's had carpet every time I've been there.

 

[Beerfish]

If you want a good feed that won't break the bank and some beer/wine go to Alfred's Pizzeria.

That place looks pretty interesting and alcohol and pizza are two of my favourite things but it looks freaking tiny and they don't take reservations.

It's great, but yeah it is small and gets busy pretty quickly. Good spot for an early dinner and a couple of drinks. Two pizzas (one proper one with a bunch of toppings, one garlic & parmesan type one) and 4 glasses of red only set us back about $40.

I don't get the Belgian Beer Cafe love. Their food is alright at best and the only thing I'll drink there is Hoegaarden.

Best glasses to take home

 

[JackOutback]

I think the Grosvenor is pretty reasonable.

$24 for a steak sanger. $28 for a parmi.

Must be my age showing, but I don't think that's reasonable.

For CBD? What would you call reasonable then?

 

[JackOutback]

For CBD? What would you call reasonable then?

I accept it's probably standard, CBD or otherwise, but I don't think you should be paying more than $20 for a steak sanga.

 

[ioppolo]

I'm with JackOutBack on this. $20 for a sandwich is more than enough

 

[WCErevival]

When you can get Parmi and pint deals for $15, I wouldnt pay over $20 for one normally no matter where it is.

 

[Beerfish]

Hmm.. Maybe I'm just used to being bent over for food in Perth. /shrug

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

You rate a pub on its parmi. Therefore the Inglewood Hotel is awful. SPeaking on the Inglewood they've renamed their back bar and called it 'The Wood' advertising it as a new sports bar in Mt Lawley. Seeing as it's at the Inglewood do they think they're fooling anyone saying it's down the road? campaigners.

 

[JackOutback]

Absolutely. But I've seen suburban pubs do $15 steak sanga and parmis. Let's hope it's a realisation that prices are way too high. I don't think you should pay more than $20 for pasta either; it's pretty straightforward. But so many pubs pile on more than you can eat and charge almost $30.

 

[WCErevival]

I think pricing has slowly come down over the last couple of years to match the economy. For a while there I wouldnt have been surprised to see a steak sandwich or parmi for $40.

I rate a pub on its beer and prices. But I don't eat parmis, overrated as they are.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Will have to have another bash at the Redcliffe one day.

 

[ioppolo]

Beer prices are a good indicator, although up until recently everywhere was suddenly expensive and at least $10 for a pint, no matter what. I paid $11.20 for a pint of Swan Draught at Nicholsons not long ago

 

[XXRL]

Grinds my gears how most places now you'll go to the bar and ask for a PINT, get charged $10 and get handed a SCHOONER!

Yep its bs

 

[Scotland]

If you order a pint and are handed a schooner with no prior 'we only serve schooners' warning you should be permitted to launch the schooner at the bartender/wall.

 

[Reynolds Number]

Will be happy to buy a schooner in NSW.

Not under any circumstances in WA.
