Perth’s dining scene is having a major moment — and we’re here for every bite of it. Across the city, a wave of exciting newcomers is redefining what it means to dine out in the west, blending bold flavours with boundary-pushing interiors and the kind of warm, confident service that makes you want to stay all night.

Whether it’s a sultry bar-meets-bistro with a Euro twist, a charcoal-fuelled kitchen doing extraordinary things with WA seafood, or a neighbourhood spot that just gets everything right — these are the new restaurants in Perth setting the tone for 2025. Hungry? You’re in the right place.

Roma Robby

From the skilled culinary crew behind Papi Katsu, Lupe’s Cerveceria, Shui and Margot’s, comes Perth’s newest Italian hangout, Roma Robby. Here you can settle in for a taste of Roma, with fat, fluffy, crispy-edged Roman-style pizzas fresh out of the wood-fired oven and comforting baked pastas you’ll want to dive straight into. Wash it down with vino, spritzes and even a martini or two from Margot’s next door, and you’re in for a very good night indeed.

Sitchu Tip: Weekends are great, but Thursday nights are where it’s at. Tuck into a serve of their iconic 50-layer lasagna with a glass of wine for just $25. Be sure to book ahead, though — it can get pretty busy!

Kalye Filipino Streats

Sip traditional gulaman or buko pandan, soak in the vibrant vibes, and let the founders’ love for Manila and Davao shine through every bite.

Bold, bright, and unapologetically delicious — this is Filipino street food elevated, and your weekend cravings just found a new home.
