Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Macedon

"Of course no best Japanese restaurants in Perth list would be complete with the addition of Crown Perth’s Nobu. A longstanding resident at the casino complex, and part of a global chain that is easily one of the most recognisable for fine dining."

"If you’d stumbled upon Leeming’s family-run Ichirin for a quick lunch on the go, it would be easy to file it away as a particularly good, neighbourhood shopping strip takeaway joint. And while the casual lunch fare is, to give credit where credit’s due, extremely well executed – you’d be doing both Ichirin, and yourself, a disservice: the omakase is where it’s at. When it comes to seafood, chef Shiro Okuchi knows his stuff, and the chef’s choice omakase menu is the perfect way to showcase the union of Japanese culinary excellence and West Australian produce."

"We’re not short on great little sushi trains around Perth, and Sushi Wawa out by the IKEA building in Innaloo is one of the best. The train itself is constantly stocked with fresh Japanese goodness, heaps of tasty plates under $4.50, and their mains offerings are very reasonably priced too. 8A Sunray Dve, Innaloo"

"If you’re looking for a playground for the kids to play a whole morning or afternoon away, this is the one!. There is so much to do and see, and there is something for the little kids right up to the bigger kids – with the most popular attraction being the big volcano that shoots out “steam” (vaporised water) every 15-20mins. It has a pathway that winds up to the – it’s wide enough that you can push the pram up there if you want to."

"Nestled in amongst the office buildings in West Perth is the charming Totterdell Park. The playground has a soft fall play area with a large metal play frame featuring slides, climbing nets, ramps, monkey bars and a climbing wall. There’s also ample place for kids to kick a footy on the grassed area and lots of space to throw down a picnic rug and enjoy a catch-up with friends and family."

"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."

"With four different locations in Perth (Northbridge, Canning x 2 and Morley), Kung Fu Kitchen is open 7 days a week from lunch to dinner. The dine-in and take away menu includes Sichuan dishes, braised meats and more unusual (by Australian standards) items like pork blood, beef tripe or braised duck giblets. If you dine in, enjoy their hot pot, which is a Chinese cooking method where you have simmering broth in front of you to add in your ingredients and cook yourself before devouring."

"Another hot pick for lovers of spicy Sichuan food, Kung Fu Kitchen packs a serious punch with its mouth-numbing soups, braised offal dishes, and Sichuan-spiked salads and noodles. 2/139 Newcastle St, Northbridge. 1359 Albany Hwy, Cannington"

"Since being redeveloped a couple of years ago the Scarborough Beach foreshore precinct has become an absolute hot spot for locals and visitors alike. And it’s jam packed with fun and free activities to keep the tiny ones going all day. Of course there’s the beach (and with a bit of swell some great surfing), but you’ve also got the huge skate bowl, quarter basketball court, mini rock climbing wall, a huge kids Whale Playground and the grassy knoll perfect for watching all the action go down."

"This is another great beach location that is popular for tourists and surfers. This location has variety of great photographic opportunities. However, there are some construction projects that may minimize access to some great locations – but a creative photographer can do something about it."

"Fremantle, you’ll be a short drive away from the most popular beach in Perth, Scarborough Beach. The beach is suitable for visitors of all ages. Beach activities such as swimming, surfing, or sunbathing are common."

"Just check out @bathersbeachhouse and you’ll know why this place is on the list. The food, the view, the funky glassware, the colourful drinks – everything about this place is Instagram-ready. We’ve said cocktail hour, but whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner or sunset and you won’t be disappointed."

"Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House. Catch a train and you will return to Perth in 25 minutes."
