Historic Sites in Western Australia

"In the city center, Friends offers a classic fine dining experience. The service and atmosphere are old-school and the food incorporates the best of European techniques and Australian ingredients. The restaurant is known for its selection of premium Australian wines and monthly live music and dinner events."

"If all that adventuring has built up an appetite, head to one of the child-friendly eateries in the Swan Valley. Slate Café has a huge outdoor play area and a great kids menu, as well as delicious fusion dishes for the adults. They’re super dog-friendly too, perfect if you’re out and about with your pooch."

"FORM’s exhibition space, The Goods Shed has an ethos of creativity for change and for the common good. With a focus on curatorial excellence and community building, the program includes youth art workshops, speaking events from artists-in-residence, and exhibitions – with current exhibition The Alchemists showcasing Indigenous Australian fibre art. 4 Shenton Road, Claremont"

"KiRi opened up in 2008 to give local people a taste of exquisite Japanese cuisine. From Monday-Friday, they offer a lunch combo deal for $20, which includes rice, salad and a choice of two of the mains: Teriyaki Chicken, Teriyaki Tofu, Chicken Karaage or Chicken Katsu. They also offer a Mushroom Miso Soup for $10 in the warmer months."

"For a wedding ceremony in a traditional Roman Catholic church, then St Brigid’s Church in Northbridge is the venue for you. Built-in Federation gothic style with walls of red brick, the interior gives access for up to 800 people, so large weddings are comfortably accommodated here. You’ll impress all your guests with the church’s leadlight windows, harmonious organ music and that feeling of serenity and peace."

"Escape the hustle and bustle of Perth’s populated streets to the underground wine bar Lalla Rookh. The chef here works like a magpie, pinching the best bits from Italian cuisine across the country, making for the yummiest flavour combinations you’d never think to try. The wine menu also boasts over 300 Australian and Italian wines, and for those who prefer a brew on tap, it has 38 taps that won’t help your indecisiveness."

"Despite its impressive gastronomic credentials, Lalla Rookh Bar and Eating House feels warm and friendly. This gem in central Perth serves a modern selection of pizza, small plates, pasta, and mains, with a focus on seasonal vegetables and less-common meats like crab, rabbit, and quail. The Il Capo six-course tasting menu is great value, clearly demonstrating the passion of head chef Alexandra Haynes."

"Inglewood neighbourhood spot Cecchi’s has fast become a favourite amongst locals for their share-friendly Italian plates and charming courtyard. While the small plates are worth a trip by themselves, the pasta can sure hold its own. Head there for lunch on a weekend to take advantage of the aforementioned courtyard and their pasta deals – a plate of pasta and a glass of wine will only set you back $20."

"Cecchi’s is a small, fine dining restaurant, with Instagram-worthy presentation you’ll want to show all your mates. With great specials across the board, you’ll always be getting the best bang for your buck. We recommend the ricotta doughnuts for dessert."

"Inglewood’s beautiful family-owned Italian restaurant, Cecchi’s, is offering takeaway pizzas during trading hours, and they are just the thing to enjoy with the family on a night in. Order via phone 9271 6366."
