Restaurants in Perth

A string of awards suggest Restaurant Amuse is well worth checking out. But Hadleigh Troy’s impeccable world class pedigree makes his ten-course degustation menu, complete with matched wine menu, a must-try. If that’s not enough to tempt you, one of Australia’s finest food critics, Matt Preston, says the food here is amongst Australia’s best. Reservations essential.

Drag yourself off the comfy ottomans in the bar (as hard as it is to leave those freshly shucked oysters, charcuterie plates, homemade chicken liver parfait, and dozens of brilliant Western Australian wines by the glass) and head into this Parisian-style bistro where the French provincial-influenced cuisine (with a twist) is based on fresh seasonal products and local inspirations. Expect to see anything on the menu from twice baked rock lobster soufflé served with a sorrel and vermouth beurre blanc to five spiced duck breast and confit with a grape and radicchio salad. The room buzzes with the chatter of locals, making for a fun night out with friends.

With the best views of the Swan River in Perth, this award-winning restaurant owned by Albasio La Pegna (originally from the Amalfi Coast in Italy) is a local favourite, serving up some of the finest quality seafood in town. Book a table close to the water and ask for recommendations. Stunning for weekend breakfast, lunch or dinner.

You simply cannot visit Perth and not watch the sun setting over the Indian Ocean. When you do, Amber Jacks is a great purse-friendly option for trying some local seafood. Purchase your fish ‘n’ chips at Amber Jacks, cross the road to Cottesloe Beach and dine alfresco, on a picnic blanket (byo blanket) in traditional Aussie style. Leave yourself plenty of time to gather your supplies before sunset, its busy here on weekends especially.
