With so many dining options in the Western Australian capital, we've narrowed it down to the best kid-friendly restaurants in Perth.
When dining out in public, if the kids are happy, the parents are happy, too. And we think everyone will be especially content with this round-up of the best kid-friendly restaurants in Perth. From pubs and breweries to sushi trains and pizzerias, we’ve hunted down the best dining spots to keep the kids entertained while you linger just that bit longer in relative peace.
While you have the kids in tow, your family might also enjoy our guide to the best pizza in Perth or be keen to try at least one of these tempting bakeries.
Here’s to the next family outing being one of the best you’ve had.
Il Falco
Pizza night is already a firm favourite for most families, but Il Falco Pizza Bar in Mount Hawthorn takes it one step further with their generous Kids Eat Free special. Come by on a Wednesday or Thursday night, and with every paying adult, you’ll get a free Bambino pizza.
We should add: the pizza and pasta are seriously very good here, with plenty of delish antipasti plates to round out your meal as well. Parents can also throw on a negroni or spritz if they’re feeling thirsty. While kids can try their hand at colouring or check out the playhouse. Honestly, whether you go for the Kids Eat Free deal or just a normal night, everyone will leave happy.
214 Scarborough Beach Rd, Mount Hawthorn
Percy’s Playground
Percy’s Playground is the leafy new outdoor extension of the Stirling Arms Hotel, created with families firmly in mind. At its heart is a sprawling two-storey nature playground designed for hours of play, complete with shade sails and misters to keep things cool on warmer days. Little ones are well catered for too, with a sandpit, a toy-filled games corner and (depending on when you visit) pop-up entertainment like face painting fairies and other playful surprises.
When it’s time to eat, kids can tuck into dedicated meal packs that balance a little fruit and veg with fussy eater-approved classics like dino nuggets, spag bol and hot chips. Grown-ups aren’t left out, with good coffee, cold beers and reliable pub favourites on offer too. Set in Guildford on the edge of the Swan Valley, Percy’s Playground already feels like a local favourite—and it’s one that’s definitely worth planning a day trip around over the holidays. Book ahead or wander in.
Ripple Brewing
Ripple Brewing is the newest brewery to hit Perth, bringing cold beer, natural wines and a relaxed family-friendly atmosphere to Beaconsfield, mere minutes from the hustle and bustle of South Beach.
For owner Joel Nash, the focus is very much community first, with the converted 1940s warehouse and beer garden set up to be the ideal local hangout for local families. Expect fresh craft beer directly from the source, with an ever-changing tap line-up, including a new one-off beer each week. Plus, plenty of large group tables, a playground out back for the kids and elevated food truck-style eats from Wanda’s Roadhouse.

Come for a casual weekday lunch or pack a picnic blanket and sprawl out on the grass while you enjoy live music and entertainment, with apple trees as your backdrop and crisp cider in hand—it’s the perfect recipe for a laid-back day out.
The team at Orchard Bistro ensure the kids never get bored, planning exciting events that line up with the school holidays, including fruit picking, fairy magic, bubbleology and more!

Food is delivered to your table by robots! The atmosphere is very family-friendly and there’s heaps of seating, so while there’s often a line out the front, it’s not usually a long wait.

When they eventually return to your side declaring impressive cries of hunger, the family-friendly Herdsman Lake Tavern serves a well-priced kids’ menu with complimentary drinks. Keep all ages happy by timing your visit with happy hour between 5pm to 6pm from Thursday to Saturday, perfect for fun family gatherings.

Despite extensive renovations restoring the grand Bassendean Hotel to its former glory, this pub remains as unpretentious as ever and true to its locals. The addition of a playground in the courtyard ensures the younger generations, and furry family members, are initiated into the local corner pub tradition. Relax on the beautiful wrap-around balcony and intimate lounges nestled into every nook and cranny, including Daphne’s Snug, named after the licensee’s daughters in the 1950s. Live music, sports matches, weekly specials, happy hours and Sunday roasts have revitalised Bassendean’s Old Perth Road, and the neighbourhood’s soul.
