Hog's Breath Cafe Kelmscott

We visit this restaurant every time we come to Perth as we really love the 18 hour steak it just melts in the mouth , probably one of the best steaks ever eaten.

Had dinner at HB Kelmscott and loved it, staff were friendly, meals were lovely, quick and brought out all together.

My boyfriend and I went there last night to celebrate an anniversary together before a movie. We chose to go to Hog's Breath Cafe because we had been there once before and quite enjoyed it.<br/ <br/ As we got in, the restaurant was jam packed which always seems to be the case for this restaurant. The decor is cluttered yet quirky; very enjoyable for families.<br/ We made a reservation and got a table just fine.<br/ <br/ Our waitress was absolutely lovely and checked up on us several times. My boyfriend ordered the Cheese Burger In Paradise $15.95) and I ordered the Garlic Mushroom Prime Rib $36.95)<br/ <br/ It didn't take long for our food to arrive which was nice, although the burger was apparently quite underwhelming. He described it as deceiving in its appearance for it actually tasted quite bland. The bun itself was slightly stale tasting so he was a little disappointed with his meal and was't the biggest fan of the signature hog tail fries.<br/ <br/ My steak dish arrived which smelt and looked great. Everything on my plate was hot and freshly cooked, however, when I tried the mushrooms they were surprisingly cold. My steak was cooked absolutely perfect medium rare) and tasted amazing. I too wasn't the biggest fan of the fries though.<br/ <br/ We then decided to share a dessert. We ordered the Rocky Road Sundae For One $9.95). The best way to describe the meal would probably be average but definitely pleasant. It was just regular ice cream with syrup and fudge. I loved the fudge a lot though.<br/ <br/ In summary, the food quantity was quite generous which I appreciate for the price and for the most part, tasted pretty nice. What really impressed me though was the high level of service. The waitresses were all lovely and very attentive. <br/ <br/ I would recommend this place to anybody that is willing to pay a little above average price for the steak because that is definitely the stand out dish of this restaurant. If money is an issue, maybe give this place a skip or opt for a cheaper meal. Also, keep in mind that the environment is very busy so there is a lot of noise and maybe not the best place to go on a formal occasion.<br/ <br/ Hog's Breath was a pleasant but not amazing experience.

First and foremost, I am reviewing Hog's Breath as a vegetarian. I really like the Spicy Cajun Mushroom salad I get it every time and am not disappointed. For dessert I had the creme brûlée and I enjoyed it.. the top layer could have been a bit more crunchier though. I had the strawberry and mint lemonade and a latte to drink was satisfied on both accounts. A bit disappointed to see that the vegetarian potato skins had been removed from the menu for entree we ordered the potato skins that were on the menu minus the bacon and they weren't amazing (like I remember the vegetarian ones being). Overall, I would rate between a 3.5 to 4/5.

Ordered the hickory steak, was a **** delight. Partner ordered the chicken parmi, was pretty average but a chicken parmi can never truely be bad.<br/ <br/ Drinks were good, jacks and coke was weak as **** though. <br/ <br/ I'd recommend going here if you're not fussed.
