Australia’s city of light, Perth, is a great place to be when you are up for a gastronomic crusade. More than just the eclectic capital of West Australia, Perth offers a wide array of attractions from colorful festivals, marvelous tourist spots, and an abundance of adventure.

In this lively city, you’ll never lack for anything to do or eat because aside from all of its attractions, it is renowned as some of the best dining destinations in the world. Perth’s cuisine is a melting pot of flavors from Italian to French to European and Asian delicatessen. There’s no other way to sample the excellent culinary of this city but to sink your teeth into the local food offerings. When in Perth, you should grab the chance to sample the fine cuisine from these restaurants:

Bistro Gillaume. Inspired by the famous bistro neighbourhoods in Paris, this light filled French restaurant has the warmth and the richness that every bistro should have. With its French oak timber panelling and the quirky grass green colour in the entrance and the bar area, every patron would feel welcome in this wonderful food hub. Intimate and group seating makes this place perfect for couples, for families and for anybody who is looking for stylish modern French cuisine. The laid back holiday feel makes this dining hub along Crown Perth Great Eastern Highway in West Australia a great place to grab a meal.

1907 Restaurant & Cocktail Bar. Located in a century-old rag factory in the buzzing central business district in Perth, this restaurant has one of the most glamorous interiors. Stepping into the luxuriously decorated building feels like entering the world of Hollywood. This classic yet fine dining restaurant has a contemporary cuisine with influence from all over the globe. Named as 2012’s Best Fine Dining Restaurant by Restaurant & Catering Awards for Excellence, 1907 can turn a sophisticated fine dining occasion into an unforgettable experience for your taste buds.

É cucina Wine Bar & Restaurant. Centrally located opposite Wesley Quarter on Hay Street and overlooking Central Park, é cucina is a great destination for an exceptional tapa. This restaurant has wide food offerings from its a la carte lunch and dinner menu and the delicious crème brulee tops the list of the restaurant’s dessert offerings. For patrons who are looking for a tantalizing dish, it would be best to take a pick from the chef’s stuzzichini menu that features tapas é cucina-style.

Restaurant Amuse. Vegetarian and pescetarian options abound in this exquisite East Perth restaurant. The degustation menu of Restaurant Amuse changes on whim, the season and the quality of produce. With its new look, this restaurant captures every diner’s attention. Best known for its immense selection of ice cream, wines and beers, this restaurant is a must try for anyone who visits the city.

Nahm Thai. This multi-awarded restaurant is little but it has earned every award for a reason, that is, a unique menu for a Thai restaurant. This Vietnamese-owned restaurant right along 223 Bulwer Street stays away from standard Thai cuisine and aligns its menu with innovative and fresh creations. Known for distinctive dishes such as galloping horses that features caramelized pork, missing this restaurant would mean missing a lot from Perth’s cuisine.

Divido. Peasant style Italian cooking has never been this good. Within an intimate and a stylish venue in 170 Scarborough Beach Road, Mt. Hawthorne, this restaurant has a sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. Highly influence by old Croatian recipes and Italy’s peasant cuisine, Divido brings out the best out of the simplest dishes. By blending new cooking techniques with time-tested Italian cookery, Divido’s signature style remains to be unparalleled. The standout dish on this restaurant’s menu is the Wood Roasted ½ Duck which has accumulated its own fan base.
