Private dining rooms marry the best of both worlds: the food and service of a restaurant, and the privacy and relaxed atmosphere of your own home. You’ll pay handsomely for it, but for a birthday, work function or other celebration to remember, these spots can’t be beaten. The best part? No one has to do the cleaning up.

  • Find this sophisticated Euro-inspired wine bar and dining room in the basement of an old Art Deco building. The menu focuses on local produce, and the wine and cocktails are equally as important as the food.

  • Descend some stairs behind St George’s Terrace to find this moody cocktail and whisky bar full of old-world charm. Settle into a Chesterfield lounge and order an Old Fashioned, Sazerac or classic Negroni. There are also charcuterie and cheese plates, and larger share plates from carpaccio to croquettes.

  • An expansive bakery and all-day eatery from the team behind Little Creatures.

  • The husband-and-wife duo behind this brewery specialises in brewing hop-driven craft beers. Go for all-stars like a hazy pale ale, hazy IPA and a traditional lager. Plus, order share-friendly plates of woodfired meat and veg, skillet-roasted seafood, ceviche and gooey burrata from Brown Street Grill.

  • There’s nothing common about Coogee Common. Not its sprawling garden, not the warmth of the renovated Coogee Hotel space, and not the produce-driven, no-waste cooking of chef Nathaniel Murray, an alum of Melbourne fine diner Vue du Monde. You'll find earthy cooking in the dining room; counter meals and snacks in the pub; and vegetables, fruit and honey in the backyard.

  • An impressive WA spin on Italian cuisine.

  • David Thompson is the most accomplished Western chef globally when it comes to Thai food. He spent 30 years in Bangkok, and plates up the classics here. Come for wok-fired pad see ew, high-definition curries and other staples.

  • On a balmy afternoon, after the Freo Doctor’s rolled in, this is the place to be. Get started downstairs with lo-fi wines and small plates of the freshest local seafood. Then head upstairs for cocktails and ocean views.
