State Buildings, 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth
Petition
At Petition Kitchen, history and flavour collide in the most delicious way. Set within the grand State Buildings, this lauded dining spot hums with energy from morning to night. Chef Jessica Roe champions local, seasonal produce across a menu of bold, inventive share plates — think Fremantle octopus with house-made kimchi or Blackwood Valley beef tartare.
The interiors strike the perfect balance of heritage and cool, with warm timbers and industrial edges wrapping around a dining room that feels effortlessly, unmistakably Perth.
State Buildings, St Georges Terrace & Barrack Street, Perth
Long Chim
Meaning ‘come and taste,’ Long Chim brings the vibrant streets of Bangkok to Perth, serving bold and flavour-packed dishes under the expert eye of celebrity chef David Thompson. While the man himself occasionally makes an appearance, diners are often too busy wiping their brows — some dishes deliver an explosion of spice and flavour, tempered only by the refreshing selection of tropical cocktails.
State Buildings, Corner of Barrack Street & St Georges Terrace, Perth
Bib & Tucker
Bib & Tucker is pure coastal cool with a hit of refined flair – a Fremantle institution where the sunsets are dreamy, the drinks flow freely, and the food? Next level. The seasonal Lobster Frites is the dish of the moment, starring woodfired Western Rock lobster slathered in lush kombu béarnaise, served with golden, crunchy frites. Nab a table on Thursday night (it’s only available in May and June) and treat yourself to either a half or whole lobster.
Glorious beach views, a killer cocktail list – this is Perth dining at its peak.
18 Leighton Beach Boulevard, North Fremantle
Bread in Common
Housed in a 19th-century Fremantle warehouse, Bread in Common has long been the darling of Perth’s dining scene. Communal tables set the tone for a rustic-chic affair where wood-fired ovens do most of the talking. Their sourdough is the stuff of local legend — best slathered with house-made butter or duck fat. But don’t stop there: lamb ribs dripping in umami, roasted veggies with unexpected flair, and seasonal share plates prove this is far more than just a bakery with benefits.
43 Pakenham Street, Fremantle
Vin Populi
Vin Populi pulses with authentic Italian soul in Fremantle’s historic West End. Set in the former Roma Cucina, its mosaic-tiled floors and weathered plaster walls create a timeless backdrop as 1950s Italian pop floats through the air. The chalkboard menu dazzles with seasonal gems, such as slow-braised osso buco tagliatelle, rich with tender meat and velvety sauce, alongside house-cured salumi and artisanal cheeses.
With over 160 carefully curated Italian and Australian wines, every sip and bite here delivers a masterclass in rustic elegance and bold flavour.

Tiny’s
Ready for a good time? So is Tiny’s, Perth CBD’s small but mighty bar, restaurant, and liquor emporium at QV1. With a South American flair, their menu bursts with bold flavours — family-style plates featuring wood-fired rotisserie meats, fresh veggies from the rooftop garden, and elevated bar snacks. Don’t miss the rotisserie chicken with mole poblano and dirty rice or the charred corn with chipotle mayo and lime. The drinks list is expertly crafted, boasting boutique beers, seasonal cocktails (spicy margs included), and a curated selection of small-batch wines.
QV1 Plaza, Milligan Street, Perth
Garum
Garum marks Perth’s debut from Guy Grossi, the acclaimed chef behind Melbourne’s Grossi Florentino. Set within the historic Hibernian Hall in Perth’s east end, the restaurant channels the spirit of ancient Rome through a contemporary lens. Showcasing Western Australia’s rich produce, the menu features dishes like Fremantle octopus Gaeta-style and casarecce tossed with prawn, crab, cime di rape, colatura, and chilli. Roman-style sourdough with moretum and offal-inspired delights, such as ox-tongue skewers, add authentic flair.
End on a high note with a non-traditional tiramisu or fig tart served alongside mascarpone, pistachio, and olive oil ice cream.
The Westin, 480 Hay Street, Perth
UMA
Premium Peruvian dining is a rare treat in Perth, made extraordinary by award-winning Executive Chef Alejandro Saravia at UMA. Showcasing WA produce alongside native Peruvian chillies, the menu offers a true paddock-to-plate experience. Sip a classic Pisco Sour and embark on the ‘Journey through Peru’ tasting menu or choose a la carte, with standout ceviches — especially Abrolhos scallops with smoked yellow chilli — and Cone Bay barramundi with picante sauce. The art-filled space by State of Kin, featuring warm colours and bold designs, completes this must-visit for food and design lovers alike.
207 Adelaide Terrace, Perth
Fleur
Seductively moody and reminiscent of a French saloon where literary giants might have once graced, Fleur cocoons its diners in lavish floral flare; after all, fleur translates to flower in French. Set within the grand Royal Hotel, Fleur’s menu is both bold and delicate with the stand-out whole roasted spiced Wagin duck, a caviar menu, foie gras and boeuf aux poivre paired with carefully curated champagne, wine and cocktails. The finale of crepes suzette set alight at your table fuels the drama before resuming to refined elegance.
531 Wellington Street, Perth
Wildflower
Contemporary in design and adorned with images of Kings Park’s native trees by artist Valerie Sparks, the COMO The Treasury’s signature Wildflower restaurant celebrates Western Australia’s abundance while perched above the city. With ingredients sourced from local farmers and foragers, the menu revolves around the six Indigenous seasons: Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang. Much like the Noongar calendar flows with the environment, the menu often features rare treasures such as acacia, Geraldton wax and finger lime; and when available, the delicately poached Manjimup marron is life-changing.
The State Buildings, Level 4, 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth
Balthazar
A timeless favourite, Balthazar has been a Perth institution since the ’90s, hosting everyone from celebrities to locals celebrating life’s milestones. After a recent interior refresh, its once dark, den-like atmosphere now feels lighter yet still deeply atmospheric and moody. The menu offers indulgent classics — scallop crudo, beef tartare, truffles, and premium steaks — plus a uniquely Australian touch with kangaroo loin.
Don’t be daunted by the impressive wine wall; expert sommeliers are on hand to guide you through Old World treasures or exciting new discoveries. A truly enduring dining experience.
6 The Esplanade, Perth
Santini Bar & Grill
Santini Bar & Grill has well and truly earned its title as ‘Restaurant of the Year’ at the 2022 AHA Accommodation Awards for Excellence. Located within the glamorous QT Perth, this Italian-Mediterranean gem is helmed by acclaimed executive chef Stephen Clarke. Signature dishes like squid ink risotto, bistecca Fiorentina and wood-grilled Berkshire pork cutlet showcase bold flavours and refined technique. The impressive wine list pays homage to Santini’s Italian heritage, blending iconic European bottles with standout local drops — think Leeuwin Estate Art Series, 2014 Tenuta dell’Ornellaia Masseto, and 2010 Tinto Pesquera Reserva Especial. A true culinary showstopper.
Level 1/133 Murray Street, Perth
Grand Orient
Refined Cantonese dining reaches new heights at The Grand Orient, the crown jewel of The Melbourne Hotel. Blending traditional techniques with a contemporary touch, this elegant restaurant reimagines Chinese cuisine using premium local and international produce. Think steamed barramundi, Patagonia toothfish, wok-fried Angus beef, live WA lobster, Atlantic snow crab, green lip abalone, and braised superior bird’s nest soup — each dish a masterclass in balance and flavour. The setting is just as exquisite, with opulent décor and a rich, moody palette paired perfectly with carefully crafted cocktails. An elevated experience from start to finish.
33 Milligan Street, Perth
Yiamas
Dining alfresco under the olive trees at Subi’s stunning Greek-inspired eatery, Yiamas, is a total treat. With glorious Euro vibes, delicious share-style Greek plates and plenty of sensational sips, Yiamas is a perfect spot for a special occasion, a sunny weekend afternoon or a mid-week catch up with friends. On the menu you’ll find all the Ancient Greek-inspired favourites, like lamb keftedes, bakaliaros and sardeles, which are their must-try cured sardines with onion. Make sure you save room for the house baklava.
26 Denis Street, Subiaco
Daph’s
Daph’s has quietly cemented itself as one of Perth’s most memorable dining experiences, thanks to its intimate charm and open-fire tasting menu. With just 20 seats and two sittings each evening, this cosy spot is all warmth and character — complete with thoughtfully paired wines from the in-house sommelier. Sundays are reserved for laid-back, BBQ-style lunches, but the real magic happens at dinner. If you’re lucky enough to see one of their beautifully crafted terrines on the menu, don’t hesitate — it’s easily one of the best dishes in town.
1/226 Oxford Street, Leederville
Sauma
Sauma brings the vibrant energy of India’s street food scene to the bustling corner of William and James in Northbridge. Kick things off with a pani puri shot — crisp wheat bubbles filled with herbs and a chilli kick — then move onto bold starters like wagyu beef samosas, watermelon-cured ocean trout, and twice-cooked lamb ribs with tamarind glaze. Curries are essential here: the homestyle goat curry and rich duck korma are best enjoyed by hand, wrapped in paratha. Creative cocktails — like the Pink Panther in Hollywood and a fiery Chilli Mojito — offer the perfect cool-down.
200 William Street, Northbridge
The Shorehouse
Perched on the pristine shores of Swanbourne beach, The Shorehouse stands as a beacon of elegance and relaxation, effortlessly bringing together the sophisticated charm of coastal living with breathtaking ocean views. Take a seat on the sun-drenched deck, unwind and indulge in the fresh, housemade menu as you gaze out at the horizon. The vibe is serenity and luxury, so it’s no wonder the Shorehouse is one of Perth’s best.
278 Marine Parade, Swanbourne
Coogee Common
Yes, Coogee Common is a trek — but it’s one you’ll savour. Set in a beautifully restored 1894 cottage, this farm-to-table gem flows from private dining rooms into a barn-like hall and lush al fresco garden. The ever-changing menu is driven by the day’s harvest, with standouts like smoked kohlrabi with pickled shiitake and horseradish. Don’t skip the wood-fired bread — made by the team behind Bread in Common — or the botanical cocktails and lo-fi Aussie wines. Finish with dark chocolate, honey and buttermilk ice cream made from their own hives.
Sitchu Tip: Book the garden tour lunch — pure magic.
371 Cockburn Road, Coogee
Le Rebelle
Le Rebelle is a sultry, nouveau-French bistro from Sarah and Liam Atkinson — hospitality royalty with stints at Print Hall, Lalla Rookh, and more. Evoking the charm of a Parisian or New York haunt, it’s all black bentwood chairs, timber details, and soft leather banquettes. The handwritten wine list champions Burgundy and Old World favourites, alongside local gems. Expect French classics done right — steak tartare, moules et frites, roast duck breast, and ever-changing house-made cheese. Don’t leave without the crème caramel doused in Grand Marnier. It’s refined, romantic, and full of soul.
676 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley
CASA
CASA in Mount Hawthorn is your go-to for neighbourhood charm with seriously elevated food and wine. With a relaxed, Euro-style vibe, it’s the brainchild of Si Paradiso’s Paul Bentley and Sydney chef Enrico Tomelleri. Expect creative, flavour-packed dishes like roast chicken mole, mussel escabeche doughnuts, and agnolotti with corn, jalapeño butter and parmigiano. The Frutti Di Mare seafood tower is a showstopper, perfect for two. Pair it all with lo-fi or French drops from their in-house bottle shop, and finish with a nostalgic Golden Gaytime by Chicho Gelato.
399 Oxford Street, Leederville
Marumo
Marumo only releases reservations a couple of times a year, but if you get in, their omakase menu is a theatrical performance, an immersive experience, and a meal all in one. Omakase is a Japanese form of dining, meaning ‘I’ll leave it to you,’ where the chef decides what will be served for each course and applies their creativity and artistry to a range of different dishes. These might range from soups to sashimi to sushi. Clocking in at three hours, it all unfolds in an unassuming, intimate dining room, and costs just $75 per person – about a third of the price of most omakase experiences (but just as lauded).
22/145 Stirling Highway, Nedlands
Will St
Western Australians know Bali’s dining scene well, so the arrival of renowned chef Will Meyrick in Perth is big news. His new 120-seat restaurant, Will St, brings the bold, regionally inspired flavours of Mama San and Sarong to Subiaco. The menu spans Moroccan, Indian and trans-Asian cuisines, with highlights like Muslim-style goat nihari and char siew pork hock. Drinks shine too, with exclusive creations by Running With Thieves — a crisp rice lager and spiced gin — plus inventive cocktails to match the menu’s flair. A must-visit for Perth’s flavour hunters.
228 Carr Place, Leederville
