Best Restaurants in Perth 2026

Perth's restaurant scene has grown into one of Australia's most exciting — drawing on exceptional local seafood from the Indian Ocean and local produce from the South West and Swan Valley wine region. The isolation that once defined Perth has become its advantage: a self-confident dining culture with world-class produce. westernaustralia.com

Perth's Top Dining Precincts

  • Northbridge — Perth's densest dining precinct. William Street holds excellent Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian and contemporary restaurants. The best late-night dining in Perth is here.
  • Fremantle — The Port City has a thriving restaurant scene across the cappuccino strip (South Terrace), the markets precinct and the fishing boat harbour. The freshest fish and chips and seafood in WA.
  • Leederville and Mount Lawley — Perth's inner north-east restaurant and cafe belt. Oxford Street Leederville and Beaufort Street Mount Lawley hold excellent cafes, wine bars and restaurants.
  • Cottesloe and Swanbourne — beachside dining with Indian Ocean views. Beach clubs and casual restaurants. Best for Sunday lunch.
  • Swan Valley — 30 minutes from the CBD, the Swan Valley food and wine trail includes restaurants at Houghton, Sandalford and a cluster of artisan producers. swanvalley.com.au
