15 Incredibly Chic Spots for a Long Lunch in Perth
Perth does long lunches very well—especially when the brief is chic, social and slightly indulgent.
A proper girls’ lunch isn’t about eating quickly; it’s about lingering. Think great food, excellent wine, a little atmosphere and the kind of setting that makes you want to order “just one more”.
Whether you’re chasing ocean views, a sun-drenched courtyard or aesthetic interiors, these Perth venues are made for long lunches that stretch gloriously into the late afternoon.
Ready to get booking? Here are our top 15 spots for long lunch in Perth right now.
Gibney
A splurge? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Gibney’s elegant bistro menu delivers one of Perth’s most polished dining experiences, but lunch is when it truly shines. Sunlight, ocean views stretching toward Rottnest, and that iconic martini trolley rolling past—it’s refined, glamorous and best enjoyed with nowhere to rush off to.
40 Marine Parade, Cottesloe
Tigerfish
Arguably Perth’s prettiest new opening of 2025, Tigerfish has already cemented itself as a long-lunch hotspot. Sitting right on the beachfront in Cottesloe, this design-led dining room is made for mid-day glamour. If you manage to snag a booking, expect waves of Southeast Asian-inspired plates built for sharing, paired with creative cocktails that feel just as considered as the food. It’s polished, buzzy and unapologetically fabulous.
Corner John Street and, Marine Parade, Cottesloe
Coogee Common
A long-time favourite for good reason, Coogee Common continues to set the benchmark for relaxed, garden-to-plate dining. Much of what lands on the table is grown just steps away, giving lunches here a uniquely fresh feel. It’s ideal for slow afternoons spent grazing through seasonal plates, with wine flowing and conversation drifting as easily as the breeze through the garden. For large groups, their private dining rooms offer an intimate experience that elevates lunch to special occasion status.
371 Cockburn Rd, Coogee
The Standard
The Standard has mastered the art of the courtyard lunch, and after its recent-ish refresh, the Northbridge staple is feeling better than ever. Snap up a table outside, order widely from the Mediterranean-inspired menu and let the afternoon unfold over pasta and clinking glasses. Frozen Aperols are on hand if it gets too hot.
28 Roe St, Northbridge

Indigo Oscar
There are few dining rooms in Perth with views as stunning as Indigo Oscar. Perched above Cottesloe Beach, it’s a natural choice for a long lunch when the sun is shining. Add in polished service, a confident Latin American-inspired menu and one of the city’s best spicy margaritas, and you’ve got all the ingredients for a vibey long lunch.
99 Marine Parade, Cottesloe
La Lune
A slice of France right here in Perth, La Lune is easily one of the chicest spots for a long lunch. The uber cool dining room hums with quiet sophistication, making it perfect for lingering over French bistro plates like baked brie, steak frites, and Wagin duck, while the street front terrace is about as Parisian as you can get. It’s elegant and indulgent without being stuffy.
73 George St, East Fremantle
Wines Of While
With its impeccable wine selection and relaxed, streetside energy, Wines Of While is made for afternoons that slip away unnoticed. The contemporary menu changes often depending on the chef in residence, but is always designed to complement the bottles—thoughtful, seasonal and ideal for sharing. The casual atmosphere encourages you to stay exactly where you are. Fill the table, order a bottle, and then repeat.
458 William St, Perth
Besk
For a long lunch with the potential to go all day, you can never go wrong at Besk. The West Leederville favourite continues to draw a loyal crowd thanks to its sharp share plates and all-killer, no-filler drinks list. Arrive in the afternoon and you’ll find long lunches still in full swing, especially on the street-front tables where one drink has a habit of turning into several.
264 Railway Parade, West Leederville
Vin Populi
An Italian dream built for leisurely afternoons, Vin Populi is where lunch revolves around the holy trinity of cheese, wine and carbs. Set within the former Roma Cucina, the space feels timeless—mosaic floors, weathered walls and 1950s Italian pop soundtracking the day. The chalkboard menu changes with the seasons, but always delivers soul-warming plates alongside an exceptional wine list that rewards exploration.
11 High St, Fremantle
Nieuw Ruin
French-inspired at heart but distinctly Australian in spirit, Nieuw Ruin’s sun-dappled patio is a delightful spot to while away an afternoon. The menu is a masterclass in indulgence, with standouts like the comté gougères, a delightful choux pastry filled with caramelised onion and a silky comté cheese custard, and pâté en croûte, a rich pork filled terrine wrapped in a crisp, buttery shortcrust. Be brave, order broadly, and you’ll be rewarded.
12 Norfolk St, Fremantle
Millbrook Winery
If you’re willing to leave the city, Millbrook Winery is long-lunch perfection in the Perth Hills. Surrounded by rolling lawns and vineyards, it’s a destination where time slows naturally. Expect beautifully executed dishes, thoughtful wine pairings and a setting that invites you to make an afternoon of it.
Old Chestnut Ln, Jarrahdale
Si Paradiso
Si Paradiso knows how to host a long lunch. Start in the dining room with its modern Mediterranean menu, then migrate to the Amalfi-inspired courtyard for cocktails and sunset DJs. If lunch turns into dancing, you’ve done it right.
1/446 Beaufort St, Highgate
Madalena’s
South Fremantle locals should count themselves very lucky for having Madalena’s on their doorstep. One of Perth’s standout seafood restaurants, it excels at fresh, seasonal plates best enjoyed with a round of oysters and something crisp from the wine list to start. Effortless, coastal and deeply satisfying.
406 South Terrace, South Fremantle
La Cabana
Keeping the South Freo momentum going, La Cabana blends Latin American flavours with relaxed courtyard dining and dangerously good margaritas. It’s fun, vibrant and perfectly positioned for a post-lunch wander (or bar crawl) along the strip.
400 South Terrace, South Fremantle
Cooee
Cooee delivers sophisticated modern Australian dining with river views that elevate any long lunch. Thoughtful plates, a strong wine offering and a serene setting make it an ideal choice when the brief is polished but unpretentious.
