Perth’s first ever empanada bakery opens in Subi this week

Plus our fave Thai Restaurants and more.

Is 2025 the year of the pie? Between Angelwood Pies opening in Leederville last month, the delightful Piehouse in Margs that we featured last week, and now some South American especialidades being served up in Subi, perhaps the humble meat and pastry combo is to 2025 what deli sandwiches were to 2024.

From someone who grew up on Four’N Twenties straight out of the freezer dunked in a - quite frankly unsafe - amount of tomato sauce, I’m here for it.

Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!

EAT & DRINK

If you’re a card carrying member of the meat-in-dough fan club, you’ll be delighted to hear that the South American take on the delicacy is making its way to Subiaco, with the arrival of Pino’s Empanadas to Rokeby Road on March 15.
