Perth Food Review

T he service at Kailis Bros was so good I feel compelled to write this review. Friendly, unobtrusive yet our every need was anticipated. I was particularly impressed that a passing waitress noticed my frozen daiquiri had made a small puddle on the table which she promptly mopped. Our 3 year old was made to feel welcome with crayons and pictures provided and we were asked before she was offered a complimentary treat of rocky road. This was very thoughtful as often the last thing you want is your child to be given a sweet treat close to bedtime.

And the food? Just sensational. We shared a mezze plate of Al Greco octopus, whitebait, Morrocan cuttlefish and calamari with a sweet chilli dipping sauce ($33 ish). The octopus and calamari were the standouts and very reminiscent of Greek island village cooking. The sweet chilli sauce was a good choice with the cuttlefish but I felt wasn't subtle enough for the flavours of the other dishes. Perhaps a lemon aioli or simply extra lemon wedges would have been a more sympathetic accompaniment.

The Blue swimmer crab linguine ($20.50 entree)was a delight. Loaded with crabmeat and scented with garlic, evoo and just the right amount of chilli.

Singapore chilli crabs demanded considerable attention but the exquisite meat was worth the effort. The sauce was just spicy enough to satisfy a confirmed chilli-head.

Being a Saturday there was an upbeat buzz with several birthday groups. Pleasantly relaxed but with top-notch food. Recommended!
