Best Places To Eat In Perth

For the state of Western Australia, Perth serves as both the capital and largest city. When in town, don't miss out on eating at one of these recommended establishments. One of our favourite places to eat is The Fishmonger, a seafood restaurant that also features a variety of seasonal, locally sourced vegetables and fruits. If you're looking for a great place to eat lunch or brunch, go no farther than the Public Kitchen & Bar. Stop by Ozone Coffee Roasters, where the beans are roasted in-house and the assortment of coffees is second to none.

The previous year has taught us to appreciate Perth's restaurants more than ever, whether we're hopping down the road for an unplanned visit to our neighbourhood favourite or travelling somewhere schmick for a special event. For your convenience, we have compiled the highlights (in our opinion) of our city's world-class eating in alphabetical order.

Picking just one restaurant to eat at in Perth might be challenging. The state capital of Washington, however, is home to a wide variety of restaurants, from laid-back cafes to upscale dining experiences to homey spots providing comfort food that will warm the cockles of your heart. We've compiled a list of the top restaurants in Perth to visit for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. White linen gourmet dining and cosy neighbourhood eateries are only two of the numerous categories that compete for the title of finest restaurant and red rice in Perth.

Your whims can be accommodated at any of these establishments. The top restaurants in Perth, listed in no particular order because it's impossible to choose (because that would just create too many arguments).

The greatest restaurants in Perth feature a range of styles, from classic to cutting-edge. Wheat, wool, gold, iron ore, and natural gas are just a few of the commodities for which Western Australia has been a global leader. Check out these eateries if you want to eat at a place that has both fantastic food and a unique atmosphere.

Brunch

Billie H.

Billie H., a restaurant in Claremont located on Avenue of Saint Quentins, will be hosting a Billie Holiday tribute night on Saturday, October 20. The venue's wall paintings and chalk art evoke the same sense of inspiration as her music, which features soul-hitting, melodious, and smooth sounds that will have you slipping into your seat before you can say jazz.

The soy chicken Maryland, served with poached brussels potatoes and sprouts, or the market fish served with a fennel salad and a green pea puree, followed by candied orange peel and a mixed berry sorbet, would be a tantalising main course.

Mary Street Bakery

Do you think doughnuts are a good breakfast choice? In our opinion, it does. Mary Street Bakery serves light fare, but if you're looking for something heartier to fuel you through the morning, they have that, too. This local favourite has five locations throughout the city, and it's not just because of the delicious all-day brunch options.

There's a little something for everyone on the menu at Mary Street Bakery, from traditional breakfast items like 'Old English' egg and bacon sandwiches and boiled egg soldiers to more unique selections like the signature buttermilk fried chicken pancakes. But don't even think about doughnuts.

Flora & Fauna

The food at Flora & Fauna is vegetarian, healthy, and exceedingly photogenic, to the point where it's hard to eat it. But try them, since they're delicious as well as aesthetically beautiful.

Hidden in a CBD alley, everything on the menu is prepared fresh daily in the tiny kitchen. This includes a variety of vegan and vegetarian alternatives, such as tropical waffles, a zucchini stack, and a breakfast burrito, as well as pressed coffee and juices. It's a great source of healthy carbohydrates to start the day.

Bread In Common

Bread in Common is housed in a Fremantle building that dates back to 1898 and features two hand-built ovens called Gretel and Hansel. Hence, it should come as no surprise that wood-fired bread, straight from the oven, is a simple treat here, especially when paired with salted butter that has been churned that morning and preserves produced in-house.

Bread in Common is not merely a bakery, despite the popularity of its pastries (Glazed scroll, portuguese tart, and similar items). The restaurant also serves a variety of robust breakfast options, from classic scrambled eggs and smoked brisket to poached eggs and luscious waffles.

La Cabaña

La Cabaña in South Fremantle brings authentic Mexican flavours to life by blending their knowledge of Mexican cooking with our beautiful WA ingredients. They are from the same team behind the popular food truck Eat No Evil.

Imagine tacos, ceviche, and the corn tentacles that are a Mexican staple. If you've ever had spit-roasted pork in Mexico, you know that La Cabaa is one of the few places that makes truly outstanding tacos al pastor. Get a table in the shade of the courtyard and have a drink from one of the featured wineries or breweries that our state has to offer.

Bib & Tucker

What could be more Australian than a brekkie at a surf club? This casual cafe and restaurant is located on the second floor of the Fremantle SLSC and is named after two dashing bushrangers who once roamed the length of WA.

Breakfast items range from the healthful (a egg-white and green bowl omelette) to the hearty (wood-fired baked eggs), and there's even a breakfast martini for those who like to get their day started in style.

No Mafia

Perth wine bar No Mafia updates classic Italian dishes with a focus on regional ingredients. The dishes, which are inspired by the cuisine of Southern Italy, are tasty yet uncomplicated, and the extensive wine list, which includes bottles from Italy and Australia, is complemented by a few carefully chosen cocktails (my old buddy, hello, spritzes) and regional and foreign brews.

The staff is really helpful and pleasant, creating an environment that is both classy and comfortable. Be comfortable at a booth or out on the balcony to people-watch as you order meals like fresh gnocchi, burrata, with pappardelle, tomato sugo, with duck, and triple-cooked potatoes with aioli, garlic, and chilli.

Lunch

Nobu

The previous decade has seen a rise in the popularity of Nobu as a special occasion restaurant. The Perth branch of this internationally renowned, Robert De Niro-owned company lives up to the reputation the brand has earned around the world. Crown's luxurious dining room is ideal for special occasions, and the restaurant's innovative take on Japanese and South American cuisine is a perfect match for the festive atmosphere.

If you just want to relax and enjoy their hallmark dishes, the omakase menus are a safe pick, but seafood aficionados should definitely check out the restaurant's specials for the day or season.

Island Market Trigg

No amount of pastel pink decor, neon lights, or breathtaking ocean vistas will do: Seafood and wood-fired roasting take centre stage at Island Market Trigg, which was awarded one hat in the 2020 Australian Good Food Guide for its tantalising menu that blends Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours. Oysters, octopus on the grill, and wood-roasted chicken are just a few of the sharing plates that can be ordered at this trendy coastal eatery.

Shy John Brewery And Yum Cha

We'd like to introduce you to Shy John if you have a taste for Asian cuisine and beer. Shy John, named after Australia's earliest Chinese settler, is a chic Cantonese eatery with a microbrewery that produces specialty brews to pair with the cuisine.

You can pair traditional yum cha created to order with a selection of original drinks served on a Beer Dragon Paddle, including tea and red rice. Local WA products like truffle, lobster, and lamb are featured alongside traditional meals like crispy Peking duck and more modern takes like activated charcoal prawn dumplings with a gold dusting.

Toastface Grillah

Who doesn't enjoy a good toasted sandwich? Yes, they do in Perth. The founders of Toastface Grillah, a sandwich and coffee shop named after American rapper Ghostface Killah, have constructed a larger site on Wolf Lane to accommodate the demands of their expanding customer base. Although the new quarters are larger, the laid-back atmosphere, hip-hop music, and delectable grilled cheese sandwiches are all the same as before.

The Wolf Lane location now serves chips and soups in addition to the sweet and savoury selections already available, such as the Ol' Faithful (pickle relish, ham, and cheese) and the Notorious B.A.G. (gouda (onion), bacon, and apple).

Coogee Common 

Coogee Common is a restaurant located in the Old Coogee Hotel and opened by the same people responsible for Bread in Common, another restaurant deserving of a spot on this list of the best in Perth. Seasonal cuisine are fresh, simple, and bursting with flavour thanks to head chef Scott Brannigan's use of ingredients from the restaurant's own garden. Share plates are perfect if you're just looking to snack while sipping on a homemade elderflower soda, a botanical cocktail, or a local wine. For about $80, green-thumbers can take a tour of a private garden, complete with a welcome drink and a two-course dinner.

Bivouac 

Bivouac, a restaurant in Perth's Northbridge neighbourhood, has been one of our top picks ever since it first opened in 2012. Its Eastern-inspired cuisine is great for both quick bites and late-night snacking, with items like grilled honey and halloumi, smoked beetroots with cashew whip, and slow-glazed goat shoulder. It's already going to be a great evening, but add in one of their delicious specialty cocktails or a bottle from their extensive wine list, and you're in for a real treat.

Long Chim

When David Thompson gave us Long Chim, Perth's population perished and went to heaven at the same time. Enjoy your chicken LARP in the exposed masonry and piping of the State Buildings' repurposed basement. The papaya salad, the fish and prawn dumpling laksa, and the fried banana roti for dessert are not to be missed.

Young George

Locals in Perth know to head to Young George, a bar that puts a greater focus on its food offerings than your typical watering hole. Located in the heart of East Fremantle's hip George Street, this establishment is known for its delectable meals as well as its unique cocktails, superb wines, and local ciders and beers.

Nevertheless, their supper menu is where they really shine. The fermented slaw, ramen fried chicken, and Caesar mayo on milk buns are a must-order in our books. In addition, they produce everything themselves and operate a waste-free kitchen.

Dinner

Uma Restaurant

Learn about the variety and freshness of Peruvian coastal cuisine with the Ceviche Experience. Over the course of four meals, take the Uma Journey and learn about the many influences Peruvian cuisine has absorbed. If you're in Perth, Australia, stop by Uma Restaurant on Adelaide Terrace for a taste of Peru's diverse regions.

Uma, located in the Pan Pacific Perth, is the brainchild of the hotel and Chef Alejandro Saravia, whose goal is to introduce guests to the best of Peruvian cuisine, from the signature ceviche to an appetising array of meats.

In a classy setting of blond wood table settings, terracotta tiled floors, and grey matte walls, sip a Pisco Sour while perusing a modern fusion menu of sea, valley delights, and pasture, as well as Ceviche and Journey Experience set options. Start with grilled Fremantle XL octopus, pepper salsa, olive mayonnaise and potato puree. Next, roasted spatchcock with toasted walnuts, creamy aji Amarillo sauce, and olive dust.

Samson's Paddock

Samson's Paddock on Glyde Street has been a popular hangout for locals for quite some time, and it's tapas menu is legendary among Mosman Park's gastronomes. Samson's has been there since the 1830s, when it served as a place for riders to rest their horses in front while they drank inside. These days, it serves as a casually elegant place to get a drink and snack on shared plates. In the cooler months, you can cosy up next to the fireplace and enjoy a craft brew indoors, while in the warmer months, you can enjoy the ambience in the paved courtyard.

We recommend the wild boar ragout with Parmesan and Fettucine, or the pork belly with corn, peppers, honey, and tamarind, both of which pair well with the Taiwanese whisky coffee liqueur. To round out the meal, serve sorbet and seasonal fruit with a whisky chocolate truffle.

Le Rebelle 

Le Rebelle is a cosy restaurant and wine bistro bar that takes its cues from the old romance (romantica) of traditional Parisian and New York City bistros. La Rebelle is a breath of fresh air because of its gorgeous and homey decor, moody lighting, and expert staff who will help you make the most of your evening.

Famous dishes like "crab toast," "duck liver parfait," and "Wagin duck with fries" can all be found on the menu, but we suggest ordering from the "carte blanche" menu and letting the chefs decide. The wine selection is outstanding, as is the entire beverage menu, which includes cocktails and beer.

The Flour Factory

The Flour Factory, a bar and restaurant spread across three floors of a historic flour mill built 100 years ago, is well-known for its large gin list, which features more than 160 varieties from across the world. Choose your Gin with a little bit of luck by spinning the Gin Wheel, or go with the G&T from the tap.

There is more to it than just gin. Stay for a drink and a bite to eat at this hip Australian eatery, where fresh ingredients like Torbay asparagus and Shark Bay prawns take centre stage on a contemporary menu. For only $60 per person, the "Feed Me" option lets you order a sampling of the restaurant's most popular offerings and share it with your dining companions.

Wildflower

Wildflower is not your typical hotel eatery because it is located on the hotel's rooftop and offers breathtaking views of the city and river below. Instead, the Noongar calendar of the six seasons serves as the conceptual backbone of this calendar. Wildflower follows a similar approach with forager and farmer cuisines, as the Noongar traditionally hunted and collected according to these seasons. The native bush delicacies like wattleseed, blood lime, and lemon myrtle are expertly incorporated into the recipes with imported ingredients like Margaret River Wagyu steak and scallops from Rottnest Island.

Lulu La Delizia

This Italian restaurant may be modest, but the one hat it received from the Australian Good Food Guide for 2020 is testament to the quality of the pasta made by the chefs there. Lulu La Delizia, named for Chef Joel Valvasori-grandmother, Pereza's features comfort food like his Nonna's meatballs and his Zia's (aunt) crostoli, both of which are traditional dishes from his family's home region in northern Italy. The pasta, made with care and served with simple sauces, is the real show stopper, especially when paired with a bottle from the extensive Italian and Australian wine list.

Manuka Woodfire Kitchen

The chef at Manuka, Kenny McHardy (who was born and raised in New Zealand), believes that working with fire alone is the key to creating exquisite dishes. Toodyay Berkshire pig barbecued on coals, pickled beetroot and wood-roasted salad, and wood-roasted Shark Bay tiger prawns are just a few examples of the ever-changing menu items that can be found at this award-winning restaurant, which is committed to using exclusively WA produce. It's a sure thing, though, that the tastes created by fire are exceptional.

Lions And Tigers

The kind of spot that Fremantle people strive to keep hidden from the rest of Perth, brought to you by the crew behind Duck Duck Bruce, Lions, and Tigers. Although it's not exactly a hidden treasure (it's constantly busy and gets reservations months in advance), there are still too many Perth natives who haven't tried it, even though it's widely considered to be among the city's greatest eateries.

Each and every one of the modern Indian dishes we've sampled has been expertly prepared and bursting with flavour thanks to the hard work of the whole team. The sourdough naan is a requirement, and you can't miss the roti tacos, which are always worth ordering again and again because the filling is rotated often. Seasonal changes affect the remainder of the menu, so go with your gut or consult the outstanding service personnel for recommendations.

Conclusion

Wood-fired bread, salted butter, and preserves are available at Bread in Common.

In 2020, Lulu La Delizia, an Italian eatery, was awarded one of the coveted "hats" from the Australian Good Food Guide. The award-winning Manuka Woodfire Kitchen sources all of its ingredients from inside the state of Washington. Fremantle locals are fiercely protective of their city's best-kept secret, Lions And Tigers. Nothing about the contemporary Indian fare is average.
