Bertie
77 Old Perth Road, Bassendean
Bassendean’s answer to a Brit-style wine bar with serious taste, Bertie is all charm and top-tier pours. You’ll find a menu packed with clever nods to classic British fare. Think next-level Scotch eggs, golden Welsh rarebit, and a mushroom parfait that could start a fan club. The wine list? Chef’s kiss. Whether you’re there for a cheeky glass or settling in for the full spread, Bertie brings serious Euro character to the ‘burbs.
Il Lido
88 Marine Parade, Cottesloe
Perched across from Cottesloe Beach, Il Lido is as close to the Amalfi Coast as you’ll get without actually booking a ticket. This beachside Italian canteen is famed for its house-made pasta, regional wine list, and spectacular sunset views. Grab a long table, order the vongole, and soak up golden hour like you’ve just clocked out in Cinque Terre.
Lalla Rookh
77 St Georges Terrace, Perth
Hidden beneath the CBD, Lalla Rookh is a subterranean Italian spot where good times and great wines collide in a moody, modern Italian hideaway. The vibe is low-lit and high-impact, with a seasonal menu that leans into share plates packed with big Italian flavours. Start with a cheeky Negroni, end with tiramisu and enough vino to cancel that 8am meeting.
Si Paradiso
1/446 Beaufort Street, Highgate
It’s giving: Milan meets Miami. Si Paradiso is your go-to for sun-drenched days and disco-fuelled nights, complete with retro-chic interiors, woodfired pizzas, and a courtyard that belongs on a European postcard. Nab a spot under the festoon lights, order the burrata, and don’t sleep on their next-level cocktails. Bellissimo.
Harry’s at Conti
529 Wanneroo Road, Woodvale
Set inside the iconic old Paul Conti winery, Harry’s brings fine dining finesse to your weekend lunch plans—no city trip required. With a seasonal menu that leans French with a Mediterranean wink, you’ll find dishes like Fremantle octopus, delicate pastas, and petite desserts that honestly deserve their own spotlight. Bonus points for the vintage fit-out and old-school hospitality.
