Entertaining this weekend? Stock up at Perth's best European delis

Plus the best things to do over Easter and more.

April 16, 2025

In amongst a world spent doom scrolling and dissociating in baths, we’re forever on the hunt for little crumbs of joy. And one of the biggest little crumbs of joy that nourishes the Perth is OK! office is slowing down, and trying to spend a little bit of our precious time with the passionate people that make Perth a pretty bloody great place to live.

People like Pippa Canavan, who we got to know quite well in our second ever At The Table video, below. We’re beyond chuffed to share it with you today - a breezy 10 minute chance to turn off your notifications, close down your emails, and hang out with one of our hospitality scene’s most popular proprietors.

Because what’s the point of finding little crumbs of joy, if we don’t share them with the people around us?

Despite the associated stress of trying to wrap work up that comes ahead of a long weekend, we gotta say we are very excited for a few days off this Easter. If you’re looking forward to the same and wondering what to do, here’s a few hot cross tips:
