Heading in to see the West Coast Fever how to make a day of it

The Palace Arcade

A restaurant, bar and arcade venue that caters to the young and the young at heart. Featuring a monster of a menu of New York style pizzas and wall-to-wall arcade games that would make the kids of Stranger Things envious, Palace Arcade is a day in itself. Make your way over to this hangout of retro arcade games for lunch and afterwards settle for once and for all who is the ultimate champion of NBA Jam. 

Exquisite Bodies | Bruno Booth

Get hands-on with art at The Art Gallery of WA which is hosting an interactive, all-ages exhibit called Exquisite Bodies. Disabled artist Bruno Booth created the art to challenge preconceived perceptions of disability through visitor interaction. With free entry, this installation encourages participants to give deeper consideration on beauty, mobility and ability. 

Food

You’ll likely have an appetite after cheering on the Fever so kick on the afternoon with some lunch. Sushi is a popular choice and the sushi train at Jaws Sushi Town Hall is always a pleaser. Plus Kpop store Morning Glory Perth is next door for hard-to-find Kpop merch.

For burgers, you have the American-style Hoodburger or chow down on a classic Short Order burger before heading next door to Krispy Kreme. 

For lovers of dumplings try Munchy Monk’s unique Thai chicken dumplings or the crispy pan-fried Shanghai Jian Bao dumplings

Sweet Treats

Perth has upped its dessert game in the last few years, and sampling some of the delectable dessert bars on offer is a must. For the fluffiest pancakes on this side of Japan, Kumo Desserts down Washing Lane is for you. Try the puffy pandan or sunny honey soufflé pancakes, along with their selection of colourful teas.

Or if ice cream is more your fancy, there is the iconic taiyaki filled with gelato at Whisk Creamery or sample the refined flavours at the ever-popular Chico Gelato. If you prefer to grab something on the go before heading home, try the viral Pistachio Chonk croissants from Zont’s Bakehouse, or the rainbow-hued ice desserts from Dessert Garden Australia.
