Post

Est Home of Torung Market

Fleur at The Royal

Fleur refuses to be pigeonholed. Take the French name, Japanese-ish food, and native produce. But what’s certain is that this one of Perth’s most exciting restaurants – with intricate cooking and excellent dishes.

Wildflower

Restaurant

Looking for an extra-special occasion spot? Como, the Treasury’s in-house fine diner, celebrates all things Western Australia, from local Indigenous ingredients to panoramic views of the CBD and Elizabeth Quay.

Petition Kitchen

Restaurant

A meticulously imagined bistro where you can choose your own adventure. Commit to a full dinner (and knockout beef tartare) or keep it short with snacks at the wine bar next door.
