Pinchos Bar De Tapas
112-124 Oxford StTasty small plate food
an artistic atmosphere with funky little shops, great cafes, bars, and a variety of restaurants. Allan loves Black Plastic on Carr Place for quirky cards and gifts, Urban Depot on Oxford St for books, music. Wendy loves Atlas Divine and Elroy for clothes, Remedy for gifts, Oxford Books – all on Oxford St – and Sayers Food on Carr Place for coffee/brunch. The Meatball Bar is not what you’d expect, offering “balls” of all description including vegetarian ones! Pinchos has a selection of great value tapas/small plate items. For a deli that delights, we both love The Re Store 231 Oxford St for amazing take home cheeses, continental produce and wines.

The Scarborough Beach Road strip is a smaller, more upmarket version of Leederville with a nice village-y feel. Diabolik is Allan’s favourite shop – great gifts, books, vinyl. Wendy likes a drink or a meal at the Paddo (very popular pub) with a vast number of beers on tap. The smaller, quieter The Oxford (corner of Oxford & Anzac) is also a great pub for food and drinks. Spritz Pasta has been getting great reviews and we love dinner at Neighborhood Pizza, Anvil Lane (evenings only).

Reabold Hill
An excellent spot for bush walks with marked trails
- turn left at the end of Hale Rd, signposted as ‘Sunset Coast’ from West Coast Drive - is 4km away and Wendy's favourite for a swim. It has a number of upmarket restaurants - such as Odyssea, The Hamptons plus the more laid back Clancy's and Rise burgers/pizza - but is also the perfect spot to enjoy the Perth lifestyle by cooking up your 'tucker' (food) on one of the free gas BBQs, or having a relaxed picnic while watching the sunset. Has 2 covered children's playgrounds. Beach is patrolled by Surf Lifesavers during summer and a short nature walkway at far right of carpark connects City and Floreat Beaches.

Arts & Culture
The Cultural Centre in Northbridge has the Art Gallery, Museum, theatres and is close to loads of small bars and eateries such as Mechanics Institute, Ezra Pound, The Bird, The Standard. Before or afterwards, take a stroll around the Urban Orchard - an oasis with city buildings as a backdrop. Although very late at night Northbridge not the best place to hang out, during the day and evenings we love it.
