FORGET the kebab stop or pizza delivery – Perth eateries are offering a classy alternative to late- night dining.
Today, STM profiles the city’s top-10 spots for sup- per after 10pm, including a look at the punters who love to frequent them.
Liquor-store manager Wynn Smith is a fan of the late-night feed and calls Fremantle’s Little Crea- tures home after she closes her shop.
“I’m at work until late and you just tend to go out wanting a drink and some- thing decent to eat, so it’s nice to go to a venue that is actually still serving food,” she said.
“It’s nice that Little Crea- tures will give you a pizza at 11 at night.”
Little Creatures manager Leala Burton says the brewery takes pride in serving food into the wee hours of the morning because it believes in an “any place, any time, anywhere” policy.
“At Little Creatures, we don’t restrict what we do to certain times, so if people want to come in at any time of the day or night, it’s our job to provide for that,” she said.
“You can’t really predict at what time you’ll fancy something, so they can have what they want when they want it. We like to cater for everybody, because everybody’s different.”
Ms Smith, who is originally from Canada, says Little Creatures always guarantees a good experience.
“I’ve always had a really good time when I’m there,” she said.
“The staff are really friendly and the food always tastes the same even if they’re exceptionally busy – and that’s a lot to say for a venue.
“The menu works really well because it promotes sharing food, and with those long tables you end up sitting next to strangers and chit-chatting with them.
“Little Creatures is the pinnacle of Fremantle – it is the first place anyone should take someone from out of town and you can go any time of the day.”
