The Best New Restaurants in Perth
“What good new restaurants should I try?”
Broadsheet ’s editors field this question, or a variation on it, almost every day. While we’d just as soon recommend one of Perth’s straight-up best restaurants or a long-standing institution, the pull of a hot new place is hard to deny.
So here it is: our edit of the best new restaurants in and around Perth, updated monthly. Some of these places are redefining the way we eat and will go on to become classics. Others will be shorter lived. Either way, these are the spots we’re enjoying eating and drinking at right now.
Restaurant
Gibney
Gibney takes inspiration from classic brasseries and steak houses, and blends it with magical waterfront views. Expect gold-rimmed trolleys for tableside service, a seafood bar and a fit-out reminiscent of the south of France.
Restaurant
Papi Katsu
Head underground to find this neon-lit izakaya. It offers a drinks list stacked with imported sake and Japanese beer, hearty share-friendly mains, and a dimly lit space where punters can “blow off steam and enjoy themselves”.
Restaurant
Fallow
This 248-seat heritage venue is making waves with flame-kissed dishes, dry-aged meats and rare cellared bottles of craft beer.
Restaurant
Lo’
The inner-city restaurant from the chef behind Tommy Tacos serves an Aussie take on the comfort food of the American South with “no foams, no gels, no bullshit”.
Restaurant
Light Years
The coastal dining favourite’s Perth location brings a sprawling shareable menu. That means Moreton Bay bug rolls, Korean-style beef tartare, plus signatures like the sticky pork belly bao.
Restaurant
Ten and Sen
Marrying WA's abundance of fresh produce with Hokkaido-style ramen and tonkotsu broth, Ten and Sen strikes just the right balance of fresh and warming.
Restaurant
Charim
With a military officer-turned-chef, a fuss-free menu and a BYO policy that keeps things lively, Charim is bringing a slice of Seoul to Northbridge.
Restaurant
Lulu’s Cantina
The walk-in wine bar from the Lulu La Delizia team next door serves thick-cut panini (including a Tony Soprano tribute), daily pasta specials, antipasti and aperitivo, plus anchovy-laced fried bread.
Restaurant
Mame
Tofu is made in-house by the husband-and-wife team behind Mame, an authentic Japanese joint serving everything from katsu to obanzai.
Restaurant
Kalye Filipino Streats
Kalye proves Filipino cuisine goes beyond adobo. Come for quintessential street food – like pares and smoky chicken inasal – and classic desserts in a laid-back space.
