Romantic Restaurants in Perth for an Intimate Date Night

Sharing a meal out with your lover would have to be one of the most amorous activities you can do. Luckily, Perth provides no shortage of restaurants that serve up romance with unbridled abandon. From Parisian-style bistros with many an aphrodisiac on the menu to sensational seaside eateries and charming neighbourhood wine bars, there's no shortage of date night spots across the city.

No swiping left or right will be required as we've sampled many morsels all in the name of love. These are the most romantic restaurants in Perth.

Yiamas

Subi is all the better for this brand new Greek taverna, that feels modern, fresh and casually cool as can be. Perfect for that first date where you really want to impress, but still with relaxed vibes. With colourful mezze share plates, delicious cocktails and a very chic cement bar with views into the kitchen, Yiamas is the latest romantic restaurant in Perth that we can’t get enough of. Sit out in the leafy, trellised outdoor area and pretend you're living the good life in Santorini, glass of ouzo in hand and your flirting game on point. 

26 Denis Street, Subiaco 

La Condesa 

Sitting oh-so-pretty on Hay Street, La Condesa is a Mexican restaurant that'll add a little spice (spicy marg, that is) 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, you’ll be able to indulge in it all in this achingly-cool restaurant. It's fun, flirty, and the perfect spread for date night. 

483 Hay Street, Subiaco

Uma 

Uma is a romantic restaurant in Perth worth its weight in Peruvian fine dining gold. Sophisticated but still fun, it's got a warm and intimate atmosphere that will help to quell any date night butterflies. Bold Peruvian flavours will light the flame within.

Ceviche lovers will be spoilt with the variations on offer. Whisper sweet nothings over the ceviche Peruano, with snapper, leche de tigre (tiger's milk) and ribbons of charred sweet corn. The anticucho de ternera (beef skewers) exude a smoky tenderness (hopefully akin to your date's vibe) - and that's best followed by the budin de pan; a cross between a crème caramel and bread pudding, infused with drunken blackcurrants and baked until resembling the texture of custard.

Lums Wine Bar 

This stunning two-storey heritage-listed terrace is a must visit for all lovers - who also happen to be wine lovers! Welcome to Lums Wine Bar, offering boutique and delicious drops sourced from places near and far, alongside mouthwatering nibbles. Drop in to see what’s currently pouring on their constantly rotating and ever evolving wine list, and charm the pants off your date in the process.

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? Head chef Michael D'Adamo understands insatiable appetites and has created a six-season native menu. The headiness heats up during the hottest season of the year, the Bunuru season, featuring sweet Manjimup marron, line-caught wild fish, Gingin Peach and artisanal cheese, to name a few of the delicacies served with wines inspiring an equally dramatic declaration of love. Since you're on the rooftop of the COMO The Treasury hotel, ensure the night never ends by checking into one of their six-star suites.

Heritage Wine Bar

Brookfield Place is another 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 one of the most decadent dining experiences in the heart of the city. Oysters with stone fruit and basil; pumpkin with seeds, macadamia and sourdough; and grass-fed beef rump with mushrooms – each dish is a symphony of WA's produce – paired with a wine list declared as, "Hail the terrior, vintage toil and alchemy of time."

Vinotto

Anchovy on toast and Fremantle octopus are just some of the dishes inspired by the Mediterranean served in this intimate wine bar in the coastal neighbourhood of Swanbourne. Since its opening in March 2022, Vinotto resides in a former bookshop, where you’ll likely be inspired to curl up together 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 local 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 plum and seafood spaghetti inspiring all kinds of Lady and the Tramp scenarios.

Powells Fromagerie and Wine Bar

A platter of cheese and tasty morsels laid out before you and your honey screams romance. Since opening in January 2023, Powells Fromagerie and Wine Bar in Electric Lane has reignited our love affair with the simple pleasures in life, like gooey cheese, charcuterie, freshly baked focaccia and wine. Brought to you by Jasmine Powell of Tapas Addict, who is renowned for her grazing boards paired with curated wine lists, Powells is chic, industrial, and perfect for date night.

12 Electric Lane, Leederville

La Lune

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

73 George Street, East Fremantle

North Bird Bar and Restaurant

Appropriately named for its Northbridge location, North Bird Bar and Restaurant welcomes many a wine lover when the weekend rolls around. The laid-back locale is both a wine store with a bar and a bistro with a wine bar where you can enjoy over 20 Australian or European wines by the glass handpicked by sommelier Danielle Carter.

Whether you head to the bar or the dining room, you'll undoubtedly be drawn to North Bird Bar and Restaurant's turquoise wall and inspired to share dishes such as the kingfish crudo and WA tiger prawns. If first date nerves have you struggling to make a selection, leave yourself in head chef Alistair Chinnery's masterful hands with the Chef's Selection. 

175 William Street, Northbridge

Post Osteria & Bar

There's something incredibly romantic about sharing a meal against a historical backdrop, especially over a negroni or Tuscan Sangiovese. Set in what was once the franking room of Perth's General Post Office, you can't help but feel the romance of a bygone era while delving into contemporary Italian classics at Post Osteria & Bar.

Executive Chef Kim Brennan, who worked at celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita’s Flying Fish restaurant in Fiji, oversees the menu showcasing prosciutto San Daniele, tagliatelle osso buco, pork cotoletta with sage, tiramisu and formaggi. 

COMO The Treasury, 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth

Le Rebelle

Nothing declares undying devotion to French cuisine like the menu at La Rebelle. From escargots and duck liver parfait to poisson du jour with bit of frites on the side, you and your lover will be treated to an entirely indulgent culinary affair. Wash it all down with a carefully curated local and international wine, beer and cider list and classic cocktails inspiring a lengthy linger with your lover.

676 Beaufort Street, Mt Lawley

Santini Grill

The Santini Grill at the QT Perth is eternally romantic, but this Valentine's Day, the vibe is a little risquè with the limited offering of: You, Plus Two. All Throupled Up at QT. Every dinner booked for three people will include an Aphrodisiac Hour of half-dozen oysters with three mini martinis on the house. Throughout the night, one of those throuples will go into the draw for an overnight sleepover.

For every other night of the year, the award-winning Italian restaurant serves an endless array of WA's produce inspired by the Amalfi Coast.
