6. Courgette
$$$$ | Canberra City |Creative food served in spacious, sedate surroundings is the specialty of this popular restaurant on the city's outer edge.

Leave room for the decadent warm Belgian chocolate fondant with raspberries and vanilla bean ice cream. The restaurant also serves a three-course lunch menu for A$66, which is a bargain for a restaurant of this acclaim, and one with such an impressive wine list.

20. La Sosta

Rosemary, chili, oregano, olive oil, and tomato scents will drive you crazy until your own meal lands in front of you. And then, bliss. This modern Italian eatery rivals any classic, and there are plenty in Fremantle. Italians have been ruling the roost for decades, so much that there's been a push to dub the port city, Little Italy. La Sosta offers a buzzy atmosphere while serving creative pasta dishes that will leave you wanting more. Start with the focaccia and leave room for dessert---the tiramisu is calling your name.
