A few days ago I was sitting in a cafe on Rockeby Road, the main street in
Subiaco (affectionately known as Subi by the locals) enjoying an excellent skinny cappuccino. Directly across the road, nestled in the shade of the plane trees that line this very pretty street is
The Witch's Cauldron a restaurant well renowned for their 'sizzling garlic prawns'. I like to sizzle and I love garlic but I don't eat prawns so I can't verify this fact.....!
I had heard that the service and quality of the food was not as good as it used to be, and was thinking about this as I was drinking my coffee and wondering if they'd changed their menu, when I noticed a line of young school children being led into the 'witch's den'. I'd like to show you a picture of them coming out at the other side, but.....I can't! Only kidding, haha! Of course they came out, I just didn't take a picture of it.....!! I hope your new week begins well.....
my kinda place!

Yep, being a somewhat of a witch myself, this definitely looks like my kind of place! All of your captures these days are SO sunny and colorful and WARM looking! I love them! Hope you have a great week, Grace!

j'aurais pas confiance dans la cuisiniere ;o))
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the kikd of place I would like to have lunch. I am going to pretend that you said this is a favorite restaurant that lures diners from all around the area.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely head into that place - love prawns and especially with lots of garlic!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, garlic prawns, you don´t know what you´re missing Grace...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good place. A skinny Cap does sound good right now.
ReplyDeleteEye of newt and toe of frog? Just kidding! This sounds fabulous to me and I definitely would take your share of the prawns.
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
Sounds like a wonderful place Grace!
ReplyDeleteAnd BOY!!!! Do they sizzle!!! Haven't been for a few years, used to live nearby.
ReplyDeleteWe have something in common i like garlic and don't eat prawns just like you :-).
ReplyDeleteAs a big fan of Harry Potter and all things magical, how could I resist visiting the Witch's Cauldron? Thanks for the smile ;-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to tell a good story! Strange name for a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteOh lol, even sizzled in garlic they couldn't be mistaken for prawns. Ok, blame that on a bad night!
ReplyDeleteThe place looks interesting and inviting!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I would go to a restaurant called "the Witches Cauldron". Too many options for ingredients.
ReplyDeleteWith those trees,(plane trees?) the scene seems to be in Provence! But here, witches are called" Masca". And garlic prawns seem very attractive to me, but maybe I'm a kind of witch too?... :o)
ReplyDeleteI know a few old witches I can tell thee!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have been there Grace, but I do enjoy their 70s style. And the Sizzling Prawns were superb the last time I tasted them.
ReplyDeleteFunny name for a restaurant. I imagine it is meant to appeal to the kiddos?
ReplyDeleteWe had a bbq joint called "Fat Boys." Never did understand the thinking behind that name.
Love the shot of the kids walking in.
Old witches usually cook quite well...haha...
ReplyDeleteSchool in the summer? I am so confused by Australia's reversal of seasons. And inquiring minds aka nosey bloggers need to know: why dont you eat prawns?
ReplyDeleteIt looks hot. Too hot. I'm so happy to be experiencing winter
ReplyDeleteIntriguing name...and I love garlic AND prawns.
ReplyDeleteSomething really magic, I guess...
ReplyDeleteSubiaco is one of my favourite places in Perth and it's so cosmopolitan and busy and lively. Next time I am in PErth I must go and see what is really cooking in the cauldron!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots, Grace.
Like Genie, I'd be expecting "Eye of Newt" on the menu. :)
ReplyDeletea witchy post ;)
ReplyDeleteloved it!
Went there last night for garlic prawns, it has changed and not for the better! Garlic prawns were just okay, they are usually fabulous, soup cold, had to be sent back to kitchen, service was the worst! Inattentive, slow, forgetful. After 40 years as a customer i was very diappointed! Have the original owners sold?
