The Best Leederville Restaurants to Book Right Now

Leederville has long been a go-to destination for Perth foodies, thanks to its effortlessly cool suburban vibe, vibrant streetscape, and eclectic mix of dining experiences, including an abundance of sweet cafes. Whether you’re in the mood for casual bites with friends, a lively night out, or a more sophisticated meal with carefully crafted dishes, Leederville’s restaurants cater to every craving and occasion.

Here are our pick of the best Leederville restaurants, each offering a unique twist on flavour, style, and dining atmosphere.

Pappagallo

This Italian eatery is known for its woodfired pizzas and handmade pasta. Its dishes reflect traditional family recipes, with a focus on securing the highest quality ingredients. Think: flour certified by the Associazione Pizzerie Italian, San Marzano tomatoes with DOP certification, creamy di latte buffalo mozzarella and delicate parma prosciutto.

The classic Margherita pizza is a perfect example of the kitchen’s brilliance, while their rich, slow-cooked ragù over homemade pappardelle keeps locals coming back. When it’s cold out, we also can’t go past the iconic Zuppa Di Pesce for two. A soul-warming seafood dish from owner Nino La Verghetta’s hometown of Vasto, it features fresh fish fillet, prawns, mussels, clams, baby squid, garlic and chilli in light cherry tomato sauce, cooked in a woodfired oven in a traditional clay pot that’s topped with pizza dough.

Powell’s

You could argue that this hot spot is more bar than restaurant, but a quick glance across the tables will tell you there’s more than enough going on food-wise to make it the main event. Part fromagerie, part cool wine bar, Powell’s does girl dinner better than most. Start with a cheese board featuring a handpicked selection of top-shelf Australian and international cheeses, housemade sourdough crackers and accompaniments. Then move to cheesy lasagne bites, haloumi corn fritti, Mumma Powell’s iconic focaccia paired with a creamy Stracciatella, and lashings of sliced salumi and mortadella. A bottle of chilled red and a generous scoop of their tiramisu is the only reasonable way to cap your night off. We can see why the girlies are fighting for tables!

Daph’s 

Daph’s has quietly cemented itself as a Perth favourite, thanks to its open-fire set tasting menu and sommelier-curated wine pairings that hit all the right notes. This intimate 20-seater oozes character and warmth, with two sittings each night and one of Perth’s finest three-course winter roasts on every Sunday throughout winter.

Cosy, refined, and brimming with flavour, Daph’s is the kind of Leederville restaurant where you’ll practically lick at your plate, every time. 

Sitchu Tip: The restaurant has expanded to fit more hungry souls in, with additional seating now available street-side. If you prefer the intimate indoor experience, just opt for the ‘Dining Table’ or ‘Chef’s Table’ when booking online.

Lima Cantina

Lima Cantina brings the vibrant soul of Peru straight to Leederville’s buzzing Oxford Street precinct. From fresh, zesty ceviches and smoky beef anticuchos to creamy causa and golden empanadas, the menu is a love letter to Lima’s bustling cantinas. Sip on Pisco sours while Latin-American beats transport you across the Pacific, and let the fiesta unfold.

It’s relaxed yet lively, with bold flavours and a warm, welcoming vibe. Whether you’re sharing plates with mates or savouring tender lomo saltado solo, Lima Cantina delivers a dining experience that lingers long after the final bite. Salud!

Ten & Sen

Ten and Sen is a ramen lover’s dream. This cosy nook brings a bold Hokkaido-style broth to Perth, infused with fragrant curry spices and WA’s finest seasonal veg.

My House Dumplings

Craving a little Chinese comfort? My House Dumplings caters to all your deepest dumpling desires, with juicy little parcels of joy handmade fresh each day. Standouts include their Steamed Xiao Long Bao and Wonton in Spicy Sauce, both of which are My House signatures.

Hearty noodles, soups and rice dishes round out the menu, ensuring nobody goes home hungry.

North 54

By day, North 54 is all about damn good banh mi, specialty sips (like the pandan coconut cloud) and moreish cookies. But every Friday & Saturday night, the venue transforms into a cool little Vietnamese bar, where you’re encouraged to BYO drinks (Oxford Cellars is right across the road) and settle in. It’s an all-new menu, but very much the same vibe you’ve come to expect from Chef Bac Pham. So in other words…delicious. Start with the prawn and crab toast with young rice, fermented mango mayo, furikake and lime, and then move on to soul-warming mains like pho, bun cha and whole roasted fish.

Sitchu Tip: People have caught on to North 54’s dinner offering. Book ahead to avoid missing out.

Vikka

Vikka is a place for everyone, a relaxed and vibrant Leederville restaurant for pizza and small plates and BYO beer and wine, where you can ease into the weekend and dip your pizza crusts into sugo and stracciatella as you do so. The mushroom and prosciutto pizzas are to die for, but the potato pizza is our pick of the lot, lathered in a cream sauce, with potato, rosemary, pecorino, and fior di latte (add speck for extra salty goodness). 

147 Oxford Street, Leederville

PhatLon

Perth’s first Vietnamese-style tapas bar, PhatLon brings big vibes and even bigger flavours to the city’s most diverse neighbourhood. Dive into share plates like crab, prawn, and shiitake mushroom lace spring rolls or beef wrapped in betel leaf, perfectly paired with a lychee sour or their indulgent Henny Coffee Martini. Packed with KAI rum, Hennessy cognac, Vietnamese coffee, and a cloud of condensed milk foam, it’s a caffeinated knockout that’ll have you buzzing all night.
