An Erewhon-inspired smoothie bar opens in Perth today

Plus some of Australia's best golfers are in Perth this weekend.

I’ll dispense with the old-man-yells-at-cloudisms today and get straight into it: If you’re here to find out where to score one of 200 free donuts at the opening of Daniel’s Donuts today, you can do so in a stacked edition of food news this week. There you’ll also learn about Special Delivery’s mouthwatering next venture, Si Paradiso’s new wine club event, and a very cool art-meets-food dinner on Monday night (among many other things).

Elsewhere you’ll get the goss on Bicton’s bougie new smoothie bar, Turnstile’s return to Perth next year, Lifeline’s call out for volunteers this Christmas, and a preview of the WA Open, which tees off at Mount Lawley Golf Club today!
