The Most Romantic Restaurants in Perth for Date Night

Getting out of the house for a delicious meal with your lover is never a bad idea. Luckily, Perth's dining scene provides no shortage of restaurants serving romance with unbridled abandon. From Parisian-style bistros with many an aphrodisiac on the menu to seaside eateries and neighbourhood wine bars, there's no shortage of date night spots across the city.

No swiping left or right will be required, we've sampled many morsels in the name of love, and have concluded these are the most romantic restaurants in Perth.

Ah Um

The simplicity of the menu is what sets Ah Um apart. Housed discreetly behind Astral Weeks in Chinatown, this intimate 25-seat dining room dances to its own rhythm. Dimly lit and acoustically tuned, it’s a place where cinematic soundscapes set the tone for a truly romantic evening. Chef Branden Scott crafts a minimalistic, ever-changing menu that sings with creativity—think Sydney Rock oysters with rhubarb mignonette, roast scallop with hollandaise espelette, beef tartare with kanzuri on prawn crackers or crisp pomme dauphine with Basque sheep’s milk cheese. Ah Um is a love letter to sound, flavour, and connection.

Helmed by the visionary George Grundy, this intimate retreat features moody interiors, lush garden seating, and an inviting private dining room.

Vinotto

Anchovies on toast, a beautiful burrata, 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.

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.

Heritage Wine Bar

Brookfield Place, one of Perth’s grandest buildings, effortlessly marries historic charm with modern sophistication. Within its embrace lies Heritage Wine Bar, a haven of romance where high ceilings, jarrah timber, and leather booths set the stage for an intimate, decadent dining experience.

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.
