The Best Restaurants in Northbridge

Updated 5 months ago

Share

Northbridge consistently ranks among Perth’s most popular suburbs. Its location near the CBD helps, as does its art galleries and boutique retailers. But it’s the restaurants that really make this neighbourhood so noteworthy. There’s a concentration of cuisines here at all price points. Stop by Est Home of Torung Market for uncompromising Thai food or Tak Chee House for some of the city’s best Hainanese chicken rice. Visit No Mafia or Francoforte for Italian food from all corners of the boot nation. Or visit Wines of While, which arguably kick-started Perth’s obsession with natural wine (and takes it food just as seriously). The spots in this guide, curated by Broadsheet’s editors, make Northbridge one of the most consistently interesting spots in Perth to dine out.

  • No Mafia

    Restaurant

    This spacious William Street wine bar with an outdoor spritz garden serves up Italian wine and house-made pasta.

  • La Cholita

    Restaurant

    Tequila and tacos every night of the week.

  • Double Rainbow

    Restaurant

    An ambitious “fast and furious” eatery inside The Rechabite.

  • Wines of While

    Bar

    This natural wine bar and bottle shop might be at the smaller end of the restaurant spectrum, but great pastas, seasonal vegetable dishes and ace sourdough ensure the dining is on par with the wining.

  • Brika

    Restaurant

    An ode to one of Northbridge’s original immigrant communities.

  • Bivouac Bar and Canteen

    Restaurant

    Take shelter in this understated restaurant and bar, which punches well above its weight.

  • Hong Kong BBQ

    Restaurant

    This Cantonese stronghold boasts some of Perth’s best Chinese barbeque.

    Book a Table

  • Shadow Wine Bar & Dining Room

    Restaurant

    This spot right next to the Perth Cultural Centre channels New York’s swift pre- and post-show suppers. Snack on Italian cicchetti (“snacks”) or stick around for a full meal.

  • Tak Chee House

    Restaurant

    It’s cheap, cheerful and might just make the city’s best chicken rice.

  • Aisuru Sushi

    Restaurant

    Fine, fresh, fast fusion.

  • Sauma

    Restaurant

    Indian street food with an Australian edge.

  • Francoforte Spaghetti Bar

    Restaurant

    An intimate, open-plan restaurant where you can see it all happening.

  • Hoodburger

    Restaurant

    A permanent home for the burger pop-up that’s a "love letter" to fast-food chains of the ’80s and ’90s.

  • Filos and Yiros

    Restaurant

    Greek street food served out of Brika's takeaway window.

  • Baan Baan

    Restaurant

    Baan means “home” in Thai, which is how you’ll feel at this street-food haven. Go cutlery-free with betel leaf wraps and pork skewers. Or order a show-stopping whole fish grilled in a banana leaf.

  • Alabama Song

    Restaurant

    Hit up this Southern honkytonk dive bar from the owner of Sneaky Tony’s. Choose from over 130 rye whiskies and bourbons (the knowledgeable bar staff can help with that). And enjoy diner staples from their late-night kitchen, be it a classic cheeseburger or juicy fried chicken.

  • James Parker Sushi & Sake

    Restaurant

    This heavyweight izakaya is one of Perth’s best. Perch at the seven-seat sushi bar where chefs slice sashimi and sear local Wagyu. The timber-clad dining room is an equally sleek spot for immaculate Japanese mains and sake shots.

  • Est Home of Torung Market

    Restaurant

    A laid-back Thai spot that heroes underrepresented dishes. The spice-driven menu spans north-eastern favourites like koi (raw beef salad with herbs) and sticky rice, to fragrant fish curries from the south. Plus, Thai beers and creamy milk tea.
