Alex and Aisuru are a little similar in a couple of ways – we both share the corner of William and James Streets and like us they do things a little differently. Bacon, cream cheese, sundried tomato and pickled mackerel sit alongside the usual suspects in the list of ingredients on the menu. There’s something for everyone here – from sushi rolls & yakitori to creamy popcorn shrimp and everything in between! Vegetarian? This is the right place.

Soul food with a South African heart. The menu here changes from time to time making return trips inevitable – a shame that! Goat Bunny Chow always seems to make the cut though and why not – delcious chunks of Durban-style goat served in a hollowed out bun (cue the drool). These guys also do some pretty sharp lunch specials too…..just check their website for opening times as they sometimes change!

A bivouac is an improvised campsite – often a temporary one at that. Thankfully, Bivouc Canteen & Bar isn’t going anywhere anytime soon with superbly well executed food and warm hospitality. A curious, middle-eastern slant that runs through the frequently evolving Med “ish” menu makes return visits to this relaxed and casual eatery pretty easy!
link
AuthenticTaverna is the promise here and they’re as good as their word. The menu is primarily greek in focus but you will find influences from right around the mediteranean – the sharing friendly food lends itself to trying many (sometimes too many!) dishes. As good as the food is it also deserves mention that the wine list features some cracking Greek wines – the kind of wines that make you remind you there is more to the wine world than the usual suspects.

Having honed their skills in Bologna, the home of some of the best gelato in the world, the Chicho team have finally opened a full time shop selling their irresistible ice cream! Just around the corner on William St, this is the only place in town if you are serious about the cold stuff. Open 7 days til late

A proud little West Aussie burger “chain” (if you can even call them that). Originating from North Freo, the guys at Flipside create beautiful yummy burgers from locally sourced ingredients. You can sit in or takeaway – another reason we love them so much is they also own Mechanics Institute, next door, with all their burgers available in the bar!
100 years ago, the Flour Factory used to produce bags and bags of, you guessed it….flour. Now its a mult level hosptitality fun factory that produces some of the best sweet treats in town, with great coffee to wash it down as well as a bar with Perth’s biggest Gin collection! Their ever changing menu always includes a selection of their famous hot dogs.
It’s only open for dinner, the pasta isn’t housemade and there aren’t many seats – not a lot to write home about right? Wrong, Francoforte is the “F” in fantastico with well priced and tasty dishes that won’t leave you hungry. There are classics on the small menu as well as something for the more adventurous.

Garum, Roman fish sauce made by salting and fermenting fish in small clay jugs or vessels, was used commonly throughout ancient Roman cooking.

Good Fortune Roast Duck House is the without doubt the place to go when you’ve got a hankering for Chinese style roast meats. Roast Duck, pork and chicken are obviously the go to dishes here and the boneless roast duck is the must have. Their other chinese dishes are equally delicious and if you’d like to take some of the flavour home with you their roast meats are available whole for takeaway – winning!

The team behind No Mafia serve up another small bar and eatery that trades in good food and drink with a heavy Spanish accent. With 100 seats and alfresco dining, the size of the venue has allowed its owners to create a relaxed, easy atmosphere.
The menu provides options for everything from a few light tapas to a full meal. A partnership with Perth seafood supplier Kailis has led to a number of dishes brimming with fresh local catches prepared with Spanish techniques and flavours. Did you say manchego croquettes and grilled chorizo?!

We’re not the only ones in Perth a tad excited about the arrival of David Thompson’s food to Perth…. Since opening, Long Chim has become one the most exciting places to eat in town. Known as the ‘godfather’ of Thai Cuisine, David Thompson’s menu is as good as it gets and the cocktails are equally worth popping in for.

Do not be deceived by the frontage, this is no laundry but actually Northbridge’s newest noodle kid on the block, all made possible by donations from the public. Their most famous dishes include their very own Ramen Noodles, which are made on site. You can enjoy them on the petite roof top terrace which boasts killer views over the city at sunset
Plates are light, cheerful and hark back to a time when posh food was simpler and more honest. This is a small, bright venue where the food does the talking and supported by a tight drinks list with good Italian and Western Australian wines – all available by the glass. Try it out. Capisce?

If you like you’re meat and a fan of the current craze for all things Southern American, then this joint’s right up your alley. These guys take their meat seriously and slow cook ribs and brisket until its soft, sticky and finger licking good! Just a few minutes walk towards the city near the corner of King St and Wellington St, these guys are open for lunch and dinner – oh and their beer list is pretty good too.

Situated down the road on Roe Street, Pleased to Meet You used to be a little tricky to find – thankfully they’ve ditched their old “38” sign and replaced it with the name of the venue. Once inside it can be a challenge when it comes to choosing what to eat, with a small plate menu that’s as interesting and varied as you’ll see. Beef tongue ruben bao anyone?
link
Your sucking down long strands of spaghetti at Francoforte when you notice across the arcade a steady stream of people coming and going from a little joint called Superstar Waffles. It’s waffles, waffles and waffles here with some cool waffle-ey* takes on some classics like S’mores waffles and Banoffee waffles as well as some ripper classic flavour combinations. It’s in the name, these truly are Superstar Waffles. *Waffle-ey is not a real word but we like it.

With a great little moody bar hidden away down the wooden stairs, this little drinking hole goes back to its’ building’s roots, with wooden floorboards and exposed brick walls. Varnish prides itself on its good selections of whiskeys so if that is your poison of choice then this is the place for you.
For almost 30 years Viet Hoa has been dishing up good honest Vietnamese food to those lucky enough to be in the know. The venue is a number of scales below flash and their forays into “Aussie” Chinese classics are a take it or leave it affair but on a cool evening any of their pho options are as good at their price point as you’ll find in Perth and your guaranteed the freshest produce – so important in pho – as the number of customers coming and going dicate as much!

Like you, we take our dessert needs very seriously. We’re glad to have Whisk Creamery just around the corned from us, serving superior soft-serve gelato, sorberts and other creative desserts that will wow you. And the best part is they’re open 7 days a week until late.
