Yiamas
Subi is all the better following the opening of this modern, fresh and casually cool Greek taverna. Perfect for that first date where you want to impress, but still with relaxed vibes.

26 Denis Street, Subiaco

Sitting oh-so-pretty on Hay Street, La Condesa is a Mexican restaurant that'll add a little spice (in a spicy marg) to your next night out with your partner.
Grab a table on the alfresco, order some cocktails and make yourselves at home. From the seasonal cocktails to mouthwatering tacos, indulge in the fun vibes at this SoCal-cool restaurant. It's funky, flirty, and the perfect spread for date night.

Wildflower
Why share your love over just four seasons when you can shower your partner in adoration across six seasons, just like the like menu at Wildflower?

Uma
Uma is worth its weight in Peruvian fine-dining gold. Sophisticated but fun, its warm and intimate atmosphere will help quell any date night butterflies.
Bold Peruvian flavours are on display here, and ceviche lovers will be spoilt with tasty variations. Whisper sweet nothings over the ceviche Peruano, with snapper, leche de tigre (tiger's milk) and ribbons of charred sweet corn. The beef skewers exude a smoky tenderness, best followed by the budin de pan; a cross between a crème caramel and bread pudding, infused with drunken blackcurrants and baked to resemble the texture of custard.
Pan Pacific Hotel, 207 Adelaide Terrace, Perth
Heritage Wine Bar
Brookfield Place is one of Perth's grand buildings encompassing the city's historic charm. High ceilings, jarrah timber and leather booths set the scene at Heritage Wine Bar for what can only be described as a decadent dining experience.
Oysters with nori jam and yuzu, steak tartare and roast pork belly with charred apple sauce – each dish is a symphony of WA's fresh produce – paired with a wine list declared Old World and New World.
Brookfield Place, 131 St Georges Terrace, Perth
Vinotto
Anchovies on toast and pickled Fremantle octopus are just some of the dishes inspired by the Mediterranean served in this intimate wine bar in coastal Swanbourne.
Vinotto sits in a former bookshop, where you’ll likely be inspired to curl up with a good read or siesta after the hearty dishes crafted from the compact kitchen. French, Spanish, Italian and Greek labels, including rich sherries and vermouths, sit comfortably alongside local drops and innovative non-alcoholic options.
Instantly inviting, this neighbourhood gem makes for a truly romantic setting, and is one of our go-to date night spots in Perth.

Balthazar
Embracing the nostalgic Art Deco era, and set in the elegant Lawson apartment building overlooking the Swan River, Balthazar is a long-standing favourite for memorable reasons.
By seeking out small producers and wine-makers using minimal intervention, their wine cellar showcases a broad range of labels from WA's Frankland River in the Great Southern to whites from the Loire Valley.
Pair the extensive wine list with the seasonal menu, such as the duck breast with orange and seafood spaghetti inspiring all kinds of Lady and the Tramp scenarios.

La Lune
Meaning 'the moon,' La Lune opens when the moon sets and stays open long after it rises. As Audrey Hepburn famously said, "Paris is always a good idea," and so is this Parisian bistro in East Fremantle.
Steak frites, tartines, moules frites, wagyu steak tartare, royale cheeseburgers and crème brulee paired with local and European wines are très chic, complete with a striped awning and a luxe interior.
