‘So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes.’ Just as Sarah Jessica Parker once said of life, so is true for the Margaret River wine region. As beautiful as the place is, it’s a rabbit warren, and if you’re not careful you can spend more time chucking U-turns or detouring around the (very large) block than sipping on vino. There’s so much to choose from: so many signs, so many labels, so many gold and silver medals on things. And while it’s hard to go wrong since you’re surrounded by so many world-renowned wines, when you do make a mistake, it can be awfully disappointing for the very same reason.

Perth might not have the scale of Melbourne or Sydney, but don’t let that fool you — our sunny city by the sea has a way of surprising people — even locals who think they’ve seen it all.

There’s nothing like a long and luxurious lunch to make you feel like you’re living your best life. No other meal has quite the same feel to it; there’s something about lingering through the middle of the day, over a meal that’s usually pretty utilitarian, to give you a sense of time and life slowing down for a bit. While the Perth dining scene boasts a pretty laid-back vibe all round, there are some places more conducive of all-afternoon-lunch-affairs than others.

We’re not sure if it’s just us, but there’s nothing that makes us feel more powerful or in control of our lives than a fresh set of nails.

With a handful of new omakase openings in Perth, this once-underground style of decadent Japanese dining is becoming more and more popular. Something you'll learn pretty quick if you've ever tried to get a booking—some places are booked out up to a year in advance.

All people seem to go on and on about these days is doughnuts (guilty), and we get it, they’re dayum good. But you can’t forget all those other delectable things on offer from the humble bakery. First things first, there’s bread. Tasty, carby, bready bread. Then there are masses of pastries and baked goods like croissants, eclairs, sausage rolls and quiches. So carby and so tasty.

Whether your trips to the beach are centred around swimming, snorkelling, sunbathing or all of the above, go ahead and tick off our list of the best beaches in Perth.

Get up, lace up and show up—running season is in full swing and we’ve got a bunch of clubs that take the slog out of the jog. Each week, groups of dedicated individuals link up to pound the pavement together across Perth/Boorloo, but you don’t need to be a ‘runner’ to join in on the fun and games.

Next time the inevitable questions of ‘what are we having for dinner?’ arises, we recommend a meander along the river to Maylands. Often overlooked in favour of its super-stylish neighbour Mount Lawley, Maylands is Perth/Boorloo’s not-so-sleepy suburb and an Urban List favourite. 

When it comes to coastal getaway destinations, Yallingup is hard to beat. Famous for its dramatic coastlines, ancient caves, and close proximity to some of the best restaurants and wineries in the South West, this beachside town is a crowd-pleaser all year round.

Long before every other restaurant in Perth/Boorloo decided that sharing was in deed caring, the Greeks had that communal, family-style way of dining down to a fine art. And honestly, when you're trying to choose between glistening slabs of pan-fried cheese, melt-in-your-mouth slow-cooked meats and heavenly bowls of herby salads, it makes sense to just get a bit of everything and share it all.

Dress hire has become a staple in the world of event season wardrobes and we’re here for it—sustainable fashion, the latest season’s styles and a fraction of the price you’d usually dish out. 

Don't get us wrong, here at Urban List, we do love a good long day hike, but some days you need a short and sweet, bite-sized chunk of nature and exercise—you, know, the kind of walk you can smash out early before retiring to the couch or pub. 

Maybe your children are angels. Maybe they sit quietly at a table and let you eat and drink without interruption whenever you feel like going out. But chances are, you need a bit of entertainment for your kids so that you can enjoy just one minute of silence while you knock back that triple shot coffee. Sound about right? Then it’s time to check out some of Perth’s best kid friendly cafes. Places where you can get seriously good coffee and delicious food that keeps you going, alongside playgrounds or toys that will stop your kids asking to leave before you’ve even put in your order.
