Setting the Scene
Perth's restaurant scene has grown into something genuinely special, and there's no better way to experience it than on a date night. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary or just making a Tuesday feel special, these restaurants deliver on atmosphere, food, and service.
Fine Dining
Wildflower — COMO The Treasury
Perched on the rooftop of the COMO The Treasury hotel, Wildflower is Perth's premier fine dining destination. The menu celebrates native Australian ingredients through a six-course tasting menu that changes with the Noongar seasons. The view over the city doesn't hurt either.
Fleur — Cathedral Square
French-inspired modern Australian cuisine in a stunning heritage building. The sommelier's wine pairings are exceptional, and the service strikes that perfect balance between attentive and unobtrusive.
Mid-Range Magic
Lulu La Delizia — Subiaco
This cosy Italian trattoria has been a Subiaco favourite for years. Handmade pasta, rustic Italian dishes, and a warm, romantic atmosphere make it ideal for date night. Book ahead — it's always busy.
The Shorehouse — Swanbourne
Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with sweeping ocean views. The outdoor terrace at sunset is pure magic. Share a seafood platter and a bottle of WA wine.
Wine Bar Vibes
- Wines of While — Natural wine bar in Northbridge with excellent small plates. Intimate and unpretentious.
- La Vigna — Swan Valley wine bar with cheese boards and live music on weekends.
- Strange Company — Fremantle's coolest wine bar. Great natural wine list and a courtyard perfect for warm evenings.
Booking Tips
For popular restaurants, book at least 1-2 weeks ahead for weekend dates. Most Perth restaurants are on OpenTable or accept bookings via their website. Don't forget to mention any dietary requirements when booking.
