Best Dinner Places to Eat in Western Australia

"When talking Fremantle food there would be no list without Bread In Common. Prior to its establishment, the Fremantle food scene was about BYO pizza and pasta (not that there is anything wrong with that) but Bread in Common upped the ante when they came along with their menu inspired by locally sourced, seasonal produce based all around—you know it—bread. Their long tables and shared menu make them the perfect spot to break bread with your friends."

"With a chef and owner whose culinary career has taken him from the Michelin starred kitchens of Gordon Ramsay and Marcus Wareing in London, to celebrated two-hatted Walters Wine Bar in Melbourne, there’s no denying that Manuka Woodfire Kitchen is in very good hands. Chef Kenny McHardy is doing some pretty phenomenal stuff at the helm; with the woodfire oven celebrated as the hero of the kitchen and their only form of cooking. The staff are all so, so friendly, and you can see how passionate the team are about food, produce and wine when you dine here."

"Farm-fresh produce from growers to an incredible restaurant and to you. Fremantle’s Manuka Woodfire Kitchen’s takeaway menu has everything you need for a wondrous night in, with the likes of Warren Grange tomatoes with fior de latte, tiger prawns cooked on coal or wood roasted duck. Call 9335 3527 to place your order for pickup."

"Who doesn’t love a charming neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food?. This is exactly what you’ll find at Young George, a joint that has a bar where you can settle in to drink great wine, cocktails, craft beery and cider before chomping your way through dish and after dish on the menu. The eclectic variety of food on offer by Head Chef Melissa Palinkas is a combination of bold flavours and global influences, and perfectly at home in the setting of this heritage building in East Freo."

"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."

"You simply cannot visit Perth without taking a trip to Fremantle in the outskirts of the city, where you will find one of Western Australia’s best microbreweries. The building actually used to be a crocodile farm (c’mon, you can’t get more Aussie than that), but today is home to one of the top-rated beer gardens in Australia, with some pretty epic cider and beer options. Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."

"Little Creatures is a famous local brewery in Fremantle than also has one of the best restaurants in town. The brewery offers its own experience of watching the brewing craft, but perhaps the highlight is being able to dine at the establishment. You’ll have a choice of indoor or outdoor dining, both accompanied y a vibrant atmosphere from the staff or guests enjoying the brew."

"For many pasta-lovers, a bowl of Il Lido’s gnocchi or blue swimmer crab linguine would be their final meal, so it makes sense to be daydreaming about it during this time of uncertainty. From 4pm each day you can order pasta or risotto and pasta and pick it up from the Cottesloe restaurant’s side door — bellisimo!"

"‘Il Lido’ means beach in Italian, which explains the beach front views of the Il Lido restaurant. What we don’t understand is why it’s not called ‘‘Il Lido: e maledettamente buon cibo!. ’ (Translation, beach: and damn good food!)."

"Cottesloe’s Il Lido is now offering takeaway, so you can delight in some house made pasta or risotto at home. Check out their takeaway menu, call them on 9286 1111, then pick it up via their side door on Forrest Street."

"Port Beach is a metropolitan beach which stretches from Swan River to Leighton Beach. It’s become a destination for those who enjoy water sports. Depending on the day, the beaches turquoise waters are perfect for swimmers, snorkelers and stand-up paddle boarders."

"Having arguably the best views over the Swan Coastal Plain and the city below, Zig zag Scenic Drive in Gooseberry hill should be on the top of your list of places to visit. Whilst driving down the one-way street, you have the option of stopping at the carparks at the very top. However, if you’re looking for something a little more secluded, there are plenty of informal bays on your way down the scenic route you can pull in to – just remember that it is a one way street, so if there aren’t any empty spots you will have to drive down and back up around the back."

"Located in Gooseberry Hill National Park and you are rewarded with spectacular views over Perth. Planes rise from the airport below and on a clear day you can see as far as the Indian Ocean. The Zig Zag was created as part of a series of railway switching points where trains reversed direction in order to climb the steep 1 in 30 grade of the Darling Range."

"The Zig Zag Scenic Route is where you’ll see the best of the Perth Hills. While traversing through bushland, you’ll be able to see the skyscrapers of the city and eventually the blue sea. The spectacular views offered here represent all I love about Perth; that it’s a city that has worked with nature, rather than obliterated nature."

"Enjoy the rustic vibe at The Village Bar on your lunch hour. Every week there is a different lunch special priced at around the $20 mark. Although it changes week-to-week, some of the previous specials have included a refreshing citrus and halloumi salad, and mouth-watering lamb ragout fettuccini pasta."

"This is located inside the famous and world-class Pan Pacific Perth hotel. This restaurant is known for its expertly curated and innovative vegan dishes. As a matter of fact, this is the first high-end plant-based restaurant in the whole country."

"Join us for an amazing 5-course dinner here at Ten Acre Block paired with wines from Larry Cherubino. Renowned for its innovative, expertly curated and deliciously fresh dishes, Australia’s first hi..."

"It’s tempting to raid the pantry all day and snack, snack, snack when you’re doing the social distancing thing. But Freshii are making sure you get your nutrients and veg with their customisable menu of breakfast, soups, salads, wraps, bowls, smoothies and more. Curb side pickup is now available at selected stores."
