Menu Magazine #35

From the publisher

Since we started on-line on October 23rd 2000, we have never travelled so far and wide as we have in this 35th issue of Menu Magazine.

We have gone to Albany to visit the most beautiful Monty’s Leap, Cervantes Bar & Bistro where the lobster is plentiful, De Bernales in Kalgoorlie where everyone raves about the fantastic service, a very under rated place called Shamrock Hotel in Greenbushes and The Wharf Restaurant in Broome where Paul and I consumed record amounts of seafood over three consecutive days.

We also visited Gold Plate winners Rambla on Swan in South Perth, Bailey Brewing Co. in Henley Brook and the Sentinel Bar & Grill in Perth.

Koba in Subiaco is featured on the cover, Il Pasto Italian Trattoria in Inglewood has new owners and we visited C.Y. O'Connor Village Pub in Piara Waters for the first time since the fire.

To say I am exhausted is an understatement after all that travel and eating out at least once every day for over 9 weeks straight. I have never done this before.

We have featured the winners from both the Gold Plate Awards and Restaurant & Catering Awards.

Apart from eating out at all these places, I also wrote about the rise and benefits of black coffee. I was also lucky enough to talk to celebrity chef Adrian Richardson from Good Chef Bad Chef.

Jeremy discovers a brewery boom in the Peel region of WA and takes us on a journey through Pilsner / Pilseners. You’ll get that after you read the piece.

Sarah looks at some of the more interesting cellars in WA, what athletes diets look like and looks at the boom in concept venues.

Carmen travelled to Sri Lanka to learn about their food culture.

And with the way the world is today, we decided to look at waste management and how the hospitality industry is tackling the problem.

Finally, please support our advertisers when you can as without them we wouldn’t have this lovely magazine.

Enjoy.
