Whether you’re looking to save some money on drinks or simply want to enjoy your favorite bottle of wine, there are plenty of amazing restaurants in Perth that allow you to BYO. We’ve scoured the city to find the best BYO restaurants in Perth that not only welcome your own bottles but also serve up delicious cuisine. These top spots ensure that you can savor your preferred beverages while indulging in some of the finest food Perth has to offer.

North 54 Dinner Nights

By day, North 54 is all about damn good banh mi, specialty sips (like the pandan coconut cloud) and moreish cookies. But soon, they’ll be transforming into a cool little bar every Friday & Saturday night, where you’re encouraged to BYO drinks (Oxford Cellars is right across the road) and settle in for a tight edit of snacks and larger shares. It’ll be an all-new menu, but very much the same vibe you’ve come to expect from Chef Bac Pham. So in other words…delicious.

North 54 Dinner Nights kick off Friday, February 20th. Until then, we’ll just be drooling over this preview.

253A Oxford Street, Leederville

Rym Tarng

This intimate BYO restaurant in Perth, established in 2022 by a former Long Chim alum, offers an exciting array of fresh Thai street food. With only 16 seats available, Rym Tarng is the place to be for a dynamic dining experience. Feast on their invigorating green papaya salad, succulent satay chicken skewers, rich Massaman curry, and aromatic Tom Kha soup with mushroom, chicken, or prawn. Don’t miss the Choo Chee prawns and other delectable Thai classics, ensuring that BYO wine you’ve brought along with you will go down an absolute treat alongside such vibrant flavours.

Lady of Ro 

Whether cozied up inside or sprawled out on the street, the ambience at Lady of Ro is always warm and lively, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date or a casual dinner with friends. The menu, inspired by Greece and the Mediterranean, features share plates that highlight fresh, seasonal ingredients. From succulent grilled meats to vibrant salads and incredible desserts, each dish is as delicious as you’d expect. Be warned, this is the kind of place you’ll want to linger for hours, so you might want to bring more than one bottle. 

345 Rokeby Road, Subiaco  

Marumo 

A total hidden gem in Nedlands, Marumo is an experience like no other. This Japanese fine dining restaurant offers a highly sought-after seven-course omakase menu that changes seasonally. Expect exquisitely plated dishes featuring the freshest local produce, from delicate sashimi to perfectly cooked wagyu. As Marumo is a BYO-only establishment, you can bring along your preferred drop to complement the intricate flavours of the menu. With bookings often filled months in advance, getting a table here requires both patience and luck, but it’s always worth the effort.

22/145 Stirling Highway, Nedlands

Capri

How could we possibly compile a list of BYO gems without mentioning Capri. Trading in the heart of Fremantle since the 50s, this Italian eatery is a local institution, with its complimentary soup and bread, authentic Italian food and warm family hospitality key to the restaurant’s enduring charm. Seven decades on and four generations later, the lively BYO restaurant remains booked and busy, with many of its original dishes still on the menu, from spaghetti alla bolognese to cottaletta and scallopini. Corkage is just $6 a bottle.

21 South Terrace, Fremantle

Threecoins & Sons

For family, friends, and everyone in between. That’s the ethos that spills into everything Threecoins & Sons stand for. Come here to be comforted by elevated Italian classics and wholesome family-style service. Settle in for woodfired pinsas (Roman-style pizzas) layered with the likes of mortadella, pineapple salsa, pickled peppers and parmigiano cream, as well as lush handmade pasta. Or go straight for secondi plates like their bone-in veal cotoletta with brown butter, capers, parsley and grilled lemon or classic Three Coins meatballs. The only catch? They only welcome BYO bottles on Mondays and Tuesdays, so consider this your excuse to head out at the start of the week.

Beaufort Square,  2/776 Beaufort Street, Inglewood

Casa Pizzeria

While Casa’s main location is all about good pours, its neighbouring pizza joint is much more low-key. BYO bottle (or grab one next door at Casa and pay zero corkage) and settle in for blistered crusts, cheesy slices and exceptional toppings. Don’t forget to add garlic bread and tiramisu too – both are elite. Whether dining out with a date or good mates, Casa Pizzeria strikes the perfect balance of casual and cool.

397/399 Oxford St, Mount Hawthorn

Tsukaya

When the sushi cravings hit, Tsukaya is the answer. Specialising in Japanese cuisine with a welcome Peruvian twist, the food here is superb and the dining experience is top-notch. The menu changes with the seasons to reflect the best produce and seafood, but you can expect cold share plates of fresh sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls. If seafood isn’t your thing, don’t worry! Order the larger plates of crispy pork belly,  fried chicken and tacos to share with your dinner companions, then cheers to a good BYO night out.

167 Scarborough Beach Road, Mount Hawthorn

City Garden Chinese Restaurant

Chinatown is an obvious choice when you’re chasing somewhere BYO, but if you’re not sure which spot to hit, let it be City Garden. Located right next to popular late-night spot, Billy Lee’s, City Garden tends to be slightly quieter (so perfect for sliding in unplanned with a group), and the food is always spot on. Grab a table out in the laneway, order up and settle in. Salt and pepper squid tentacles, sizzling tofu and chilli and vinegar chicken are a few of my faves, but don’t be afraid to ask what the chef recommends. If you’re keen to kick on after dinner, stroll into Northbridge’s hidden vinyl bar, Astral Weeks, for a final sip.

11/68 Roe St, Northbridge

Huong Viet Noodle House

For a more relaxed dining experience, head to Huong Viet Noodle House in Claremont. This wildly popular eatery is adored for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine, with menu standouts including the flavour-packed shaking beef, salt and pepper squid and the most moreish pad thai. The super-generous portions and affordable prices mean the restaurant is always bustling, and their relaxed BYO policy means you can enjoy your meal with a chilled beer or a crisp white wine. 

23 St Quentin Avenue, Claremont

Francoforte Spaghetti Bar

This cosy Northbridge restaurant is a must-try for pasta lovers. Specialising in some of the tastiest spaghetti dishes around, this casual yet chic little eatery has earned a solid reputation for its fresh, homemade pasta dishes and welcoming vibes. The menu is simple yet thoughtfully curated, featuring a selection of classic and more creative spaghetti dishes, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

4/189 William Street, Northbridge

Good Fortune Roast Duck House 

Good Fortune Roast Duck House is a Northbridge icon, and for good reason. Known for its succulent roast duck, this no-frills eatery excels in delivering authentic Chinese flavours. The BYO policy here complements the rich, savoury dishes, allowing you to pair your meal with your favourite wine or beer without breaking the bank.

354 William Street, Perth 

Monsterella

When the mood calls for excellent pizza, cosy vibes and your favourite wine, Monsterella has you covered. This unassuming Italian eatery has become a beloved casual dining spot in Wembley, thanks to its delicious food, inviting atmosphere, and excellent service. The woodfired pizza is some of the best you’ll find in Perth, and there’s a selection of pasta that is just as delicious. This will become one of your BYO go-tos. 

46 Grantham Street, Wembley 

Miss Potz 

BYO lovers, rejoice! Miss Potz is your go-to spot for a fabulous Asian tapas experience, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when you can bring your own wine for just $6 per person. This vibrant eatery offers a delightful array of dishes, from crispy soft shell crab with watermelon and chili vinegar dressing to succulent sticky beef rendang and spicy Singaporean chili prawns. Vegetarians and vegans are also well-catered for, with the likes of charred cauliflower in Balinese curry and crispy tofu with rice vermicelli salad. 

Tuesdays and Wednesdays 

Beaux Lane, 3/609 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley

Old Lane Street Eats 

Head to Old Lane Street Eats for some of the best tucker in the city. This little Chinatown gem is a fantastic spot for BYO group dining, offering a menu that truly packs a punch. Savour a diverse array of dishes, from mouth-watering bao and beef murtabak to delectable curries, juicy noodles, and fragrant chicken rice. Your taste buds will thank you for trying the Roti John, a bun reminiscent of a chilli cheeseburger, brimming with beef, egg, onion, sambal, Sriracha, and kewpie mayo. The perfect setting for a lively group gathering paired with cheap eats and your favourite bevvies – what more can you ask for, really? 

Perth Chinatown, 17/68 Roe Street, Northbridge 

The Prophet

For some seriously moreish Lebanese food you can’t go past Vic Park icon, The Prophet. The dishes are generous, authentic and so delicious; think award-winning falafel, creamy hummus and tender meat skewers, so it’s easy to see why this is a favourite of so many locals. Walk-ins are welcomed but this restaurant is super popular, so book to be safe. 

907A Albany Highway, East Victoria Park 

Neighbourhood Pizza

Simple, tasty pizza and pasta in a relaxed, casual setting, Neighbourhood Pizza does exactly what it says on the box. The food is fresh and hearty, the vibes are good and with BYO drinks, what more can you want? Keep your eyes peeled for weekly specials here too, to get even more bang for your buck.
