This 180-seat Filipino joint follows the modern Asian aspirations of the Melbourne original. Order kangaroo skewers, Sichuan-glazed lamb ribs, and stir-fried Manila clams with squid XO.
Post
Restaurant
Inside Como at the Treasury, this bright, all-day restaurant is serving upmarket breakfasts and crowd-pleasing Italian fare with plenty of twists. Also, an Italian-heavy wine list and classic cocktails.
Est Home of Torung Market

Fleur at The Royal

Fleur refuses to be pigeonholed. Take the French name, Japanese-ish food, and native produce. But what’s certain is that this one of Perth’s most exciting restaurants – with intricate cooking and excellent dishes.
Wildflower
Restaurant
Looking for an extra-special occasion spot? Como, the Treasury’s in-house fine diner, celebrates all things Western Australia, from local Indigenous ingredients to panoramic views of the CBD and Elizabeth Quay.
Petition Kitchen
Restaurant
A meticulously imagined bistro where you can choose your own adventure. Commit to a full dinner (and knockout beef tartare) or keep it short with snacks at the wine bar next door.
