Dan's Monthly Update: November

With the weather warming up, so are WA’s new venues and developments.

Driving East across the Swan River there are some awesome construction projects which are taking shape -  particularly the new Perth Stadium and Crown Towers.  These forthcoming entertainment precincts will host many new taverns, bar and restaurants, and on many local operators will be looking to stamp their mark on this new district.

Another significant development for Perth is Elizabeth Quay - a $440 Million dollar project which is ripe and ready for investment. The Reveley is the name of the new Tavern and is set to open in March 2016 and boasts 3 levels of dining . On the ground floor will be Bar/café with Alfresco dining onto the deck, overlooking the new waterways. The first floor will be an eatery overlooking the Quay, and the top floor will be an open air roof top bar with 270 degree views of the Quay and the City.

There is also excitement in the South-West with Marco Pierre White headed to our shores and cooking at Wise Winery at the recent Taste Margaret River, owner Heath Townsend has been polishing the kitchen and cutlery which proved to be yet another great foodie festival.

Make sure you check out Margaret River Brewhouse, which is a new comer to the region.  After many years developing the concept, Aaron and the team is ready for the busy festive trade. Our team is also installing PixelPoint this month at the $3 million dollar newly rebuilt Equinox Café.

While you're travelling the South-West, be shore to visit Busselton and the recently refurbished foreshore. In Bunbury, Aristos on the Waterfront has upgraded his seafood offering,  adding Pizzas to their repertoire and designing a brand new Menu .

back up in Perth, movers and shakers Paul Aron and Michael Forde have opened the highly successful Mary Street Bakery no.2 in West Leederville - those with a sweet tooth will love their Salted Caramel Donuts. Even sweeter still, rumours continue that the boys have a few more developments planned in 2016!

As for 21st, we've been busy providing solutions for heaps of WA local businesses. If you’re looking for somewhere new to dine check out our new ImPOS and Pixel Point clients- Hola on the Beach in Cottosloe, Little Angel Coffee at Exchange Plaza, Waterford Tavern in Karawara, Meatball Bar in Mt Lawley, General Sherman at Fiona Stanley and The Dough Room in Attadale.

Until next time!
