Northbridge, northwest of the railway station, is the dining, bar-hopping, and nightclubbing center of Perth, and reasonably priced restaurants are everywhere. Elsewhere around Perth, particularly in Mount Lawley, Leederville, and Fremantle, are seafood and international restaurants, some with stunning views over the Swan River, beachside, or city, and cantilevered windows that make for a seamless transition between indoor and alfresco dining.
For those on a budget, the noisy fun of a dim sum lunch at one of Perth's many traditional Asian teahouses (especially in Northbridge) is cheap and delicious; expect long lines on Sunday morning. Along with a cup of green tea, you can enjoy steamed pork buns, fried chicken feet, and dumplings served at your table from a trolley. Food halls in Perth, Northbridge, and Fremantle are other budget options.
For the most refined food in town, head to Print Hall, a classy, perennially packed restaurant in a city-center heritage building. It wows with dishes like snow crab with kaffir lime, camel tartare with wattle seed and wild sorrel, and pan-roasted ocean trout with octopus and white anchovy, all served with house-baked bread. The latter comes from Small Print, a separate, casual café downstairs. The A$110 degustation is popular, or there's a bar section with a more casual and moderately priced menu. Service is polished, the wine list is smashing and satisfaction is all but guaranteed. Many come solely for the sexy bar with high ceilings, backed by a vertical fern garden.
Brookfield Place, 125 St. Georges Terr., Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Located in Parmelia Hilton Perth, this elegant restaurant and bar serves top-quality seasonal fare from their State-to-Plate tapas menu. With sharing in mind, plates come in small, medium, and large portions and range from ciabatta with smoked butter and saltbush to Fremantle octopus to roasted pumpkin with fermented black garlic. Breakfast includes an à la carte menu or go for the all-you-can-eat buffet featuring a selection of hot and cold favorites like eggs made-to-order, bacon, sausages, Swiss muesli, pastries and a make-your-own pancake maker.
14 Mill St., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
Few eateries have a backstory that includes a brick-by-brick relocation of its Heritage-listed Federation-style building, but The Island has just such a story and honors it with framed photos of the 1920s building throughout the restaurant. This ideally located Perth icon has character, charm, and a contemporary menu, as well as several dining options, including a 110-seat dockside alfresco bar selling wood-fired pizza.
1 Valdura Pl., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
Tucked away in Globe Lane is this casual eatery serving delicious Chinese fare in a modern communal dining setting. On provided iPads, scroll through the menu, order, pay at the counter and wait for your lunch to be served. This place is perfect when you don't have a lot of time or just want a quick bite to keep you going as you explore Perth's downtown.
25/140 William St., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
Bustling with locals, BWG Steakhouse serves modern Australian cuisine with an emphasis on top-quality meats cooked to perfection and local seafood. Just 7 km (4 miles) from Perth CBD, in the affluent suburb of Applecross—once home to actor Heath Ledger—the heritage restaurant commands a skyline view across a marina full of palatial leisure boats.
58 Duncraig Rd., Perth, Western Australia, 6153, Australia
Appealing to the glitzy, moneyed, cosmetically conscious crowd in Perth, this is the "it spot" on Friday when rollicking long lunches can extend well past sunset, making it challenging to get a table—unless you book in advance. The views are as good as the people-watching, and though the classic food is expensive, it's beautifully executed.
85 The Esplanade, Perth, Western Australia, 6151, Australia
A location change, a name change, a menu update, and an award-winning head chef have put Dusit Dheva Thai cusine on the map as Perth's best Thai restaurant. Come to this delightful, contemporary, Asian-inspired dining room by the sea for authentic Thai food, creatively prepared by chef Mhee and his team.
Shop 206 Sorrento Quay Boardwalk, Perth, Western Australia, 6025, Australia
The large outdoor area at this Kings Park restaurant fills with people eyeing views of the city and Swan River (spectacular in the evening) while enjoying chef favorites such as slow-cooked lamb shoulder, chargrilled octopus, and hand-cut chips with aioli. The ever-changing menu of share plates or larger dishes highlight fresh Western Australian produce.
60 Fraser Ave., Perth, Western Australia, Australia
This whitewashed and yellow canteen scores with simple, seasonal food delivered with finesse plus window seats overlooking iconic Cottesloe Beach. The convivial alfresco area looks out to a coastal conga line of walkers, joggers, and cyclists, while at night, candles deliver a romantic feel. Reservations are recommended but don't expect to reserve a table on the deck—these highly sought spots are reserved for first-come-best-dressed walk-ins.
88 Marine Parade, Perth, Western Australia, 6011, Australia
The British celebrity chef and good food crusader Jamie Oliver has a long-established relationship with Australia, so it's no wonder he opened a restaurant in Perth. Fun, fresh, and fabulous, Jamie’s Italian serves fantastic value with every dish.
140 William St., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
Any place that takes its name from a Kalgoorlie showgirl has got to have spunk, and Lalla Rookh has it in spades. The below-street-level venue on Perth's business strip is a real find and combines a slick restaurant with dishes inspired by Italy with a tiny wine bar that introduces quaffers to local and "untampered with grape" varieties. Although wine is king here, they also serve cocktails and craft beer.
77 St. Georges Terr., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
Since 1986, chef and owner Giuseppe Pagliaricci has taken an imaginative yet simple approach to the cuisine of his native Umbria, serving elegant, homemade Italian dishes to his loyal customers. Popular in old-school business and political circles, the restaurant has prix-fixe lunches, and a fine-dining atmosphere.
77 Outram St., Perth, Western Australia, 6005, Australia
Hidden within Brookfield Place's cluster of lower ground venues, Sushia is one of the city's best Japanese restaurants. The sashimi is as fresh as it gets, artfully carved within an open kitchen, and staff helpfully explain Japanese cooking methods such as kushiyaki, robata, and teppanyaki.
129 St. Georges Terr., Perth, Western Australia, Australia
Since American whiskey is the specialty at this hard-to-find basement bar, you might expect the food to play second fiddle, but it gets just as much love. This venue with an artisan grunge theme and the scent of bacon in the air could in fact be called a foodie heaven—come with a huge appetite or a group to share plates. It packs out on a Friday, so book ahead, even for lunch.
75 King St., Perth, Western Australia, 6000, Australia
