You may have seen Gusto Food's famous homemade crumpets with berry compote and peanut gravel clogging up your Instagram feed of late. Let it be known that this dish is every bit as tasty as it looks. Let it also be known that the servings at this much-loved South Perth cafe are generous so best wear loose pants. You can't make bookings on the weekend so get there early or be prepared to join the queue. This place is one of the most popular in Perth.

Coffee geeks rejoice: Perth cafe Architects and Heroes is here to save the day. Boasting their own high-end espresso machine, alternative cold-brew bar, syphon, cold drip and steam punk, the crew here are next-level coffee aficionados and owner Ron Ngo will happily explain their high-tech filter methods to those willing to learn.

Lets hope this little gem's coffee superpowers continue saving locals from caffeine deprivation for years to come!

One of the most instagrammed cafes in Perth for their beautiful big brekkies, Tropico is all about enjoying good food with friends in a stylish and relaxing environment. Just a stone’s throw from the coast, drop in for a super smooth Will & Co coffee or pull up a pew and while away the day. It's that sorta place. Open every day for breakfast and lunch, Perth cafe Tropico also offers dinner from Wednesday to Sunday. Don't miss out on the soft shell crab sliders and pork belly tacos. Nom nom!

Those not in the know may drive past this unassuming little cafe without a second glance but Doubleview locals know better. Nestled amongst a little strip of shops on Sackville Terrace, Little Sisto is cosy, friendly and most importantly, the Micrology Coffee is really, really, really good (and they start serving it early!) The brekky and lunch menu is simple but spot on with the bacon and egg toastie (the lip-smackingly tasty star of the menu). Heads up: Text in your coffee order in the morning or else you may be waiting a while—this place is popular for a reason!

Lot 20 is a little Perth bar with a big food focus. The friendly staff will chew your ear off about the nosh, and it's well worth listening up, because they're doing the gastro-pub thing very well.

Tucked in next to The Alex Hotel, fine dining restaurant, Shadow Wine Bar in Northbridge offers classic Euro dining and a moreish wine list. Pop in for a cheeky vino or make a night of it; Shadow Wine Bar has a stunning full food menu and a bar menu that's the ideal accompaniment to your grape of choice, dripping with charcuterie, cheese, and other plonk-friendly favourites. They are also dishing up brunch on the weekends between the very civilised hours of 8am and 2pm so you can get your Bloody Mary on by midday.

Loved by locals for their super smooth coffee (they're brewing Blacklist Coffee Roasters), Sprolo is a little South Perth cafe with a big heart. The 'Traditional Singaporean' breakfast - comprising of half boiled eggs, sourdough toast and kaya (coconut and egg jam) is definitely one of the more interesting Perth brekkies we've tried. The cafe's name is a mash-up of ‘Spro’ (baristas term for espresso) and ‘yolo’. Get your booty down there stat!

Sixteen Ounces might just become your new home away from home with their dreamy coffee, epic food and warm 'n' cosy atmosphere. The menu boasts plenty of hearty fare - ‘The Farmhouse Brekky’ complete with Elmar's chipolatas will ensure you don't leave hungry. We highly recommend.

Mr Herbert’s opened in front of Lisa Burns Pilates studio in Doubleview and it’s just what the locals have been wanting. They take their coffee seriously and serve only the very best, along with raw treats, fresh juices and pre-made snacks. Grab a coffee and something to nibble on, take a seat in the sunshine and appreciate the fact that you live in the best city in the world!

We have always loved Wassup Dog so we were pretty ecstatic when they opened a permanent shop in East Perth. But don't worry, they are still rolling around in their food truck at various night markets in Perth. With organic beef, free range chicken and a vegetarian option (yep, vegetarian hotdogs, you read that right!) and some freakin' awesome homemade garlic mayo, it's no wonder we dream about these dawgs all week long.

With beautiful views over the Swan River and Elizabeth Quay, The Reveley is perfect for all occasions. Encompassing a cafe, dining room and rooftop bar, the light-filled interior features gold accents, concrete, wood panelling and huge windows; all the good stuff. 

The bright orange coffee machine at Bicton's Puck Espresso will be enough to keep you coming back for more! The industrial yet colourful setting is incredible to look at, but just wait until you try their coffee. Pair a smooth and creamy long mac with one of their sweet muffins for an epic start to your day. Be sure you check out their food cabinet and pick a little treat up for lunch too. Your welcome.

Ramen fans know to head to Perth Japanese eatery Dosukoi at the Fremantle markets for bowls of liquid gold. It's gained quite the cult following among the Japanese food gurus about town over the years and one slurp of their prawn gyoza ramen will tell you why. Don't be surprised if you end up waiting a while, just take solace in the fact they've just blessed Freo's ramen addicts with a new shop in the FOMO precinct called Komatsu.

While some of you might remember Connections Nightclub as the dark and dingy gay club of your youth, those in the know are heading there pretty regularly to play a bit of Bingay and watch a drag show or two. If you feel like a Friday night boogie then this is the place to go, and when you're in need of a breather the courtyard is a great place for a bit of fresh air and quiet time. Connections is also becoming well-known for hosting some of the best international DJs hitting Perth, so if thats your jam make sure you keep an eye on their website and Facebook page to see what's coming up.

Tucked away next to Claisebrook Lake, Blackbird in East Perth dish out delicious European inspired dishes featuring only the best fresh, local and seasonal produce.

Perth’s pizza king, Theo Kalogeracos, is back in business in Leederville with his new business venture, Theo & Co. You can expect the same quality of pizzas as the original Little Caesars Pizzeria and a whole lot of amazing new creations. We are lusting so hard over the amazeballs Nonna’s Special—in-house Italian meatballs with a rich tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan and parsley—and the Los Pollos Hermanos—a roasted red capsicum sauce with mozzarella, crunchy battered chicken, avocado, red onion, mayo and specialty blue salt (which we think is actually crack, it’s super addictive). If you're dining in you can't pass up one of the skillet pizzas, deep dish and filled with cheese these bad boys will give you cheese dreams for days. As for dessert, you can't go wrong whatever your choice!

With good service, good atmosphere and great food, East Victoria Park restaurant The Prophet might just become your new fave eatery. With plenty of tempting options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, trust the staff when they very politely mention you might have ordered too much. If you really want to try those extra things on the menu you might just have to go back, or get ready to unbutton your pants.

Waffles from Northbridge cafe Superstar Waffles are not your standard breakfast waffle. Flavour combos like banoffee, warm apple pie and the tried and true peanut butter mousse with Oreo crumble escalate these superstars way in to the dessert category. Having said that, we certainly wouldn't judge you for having one for breakfast...just sayin.

We love hot dogs and we love Perth food trucks... so it makes sense that we double love Wassup Dog. Hanging out in North Fremantle at Mojo's most weekends to satisfy your late night hot dog cravings, you can also find them at various night markets about town. With organic beef, free range chicken and a vegetarian option (yep, vegetarian hot dogs, you read that right!) and some freakin' awesome homemade garlic mayo, it's not wonder we dream about these dawgs all week long. Check out their website or Facebook page for locations and opening hours.

Finally we can get pho in Subiaco! That's right, gone are the days of having to drive the torturous 11 minutes to Northbridge for a decent Vietnamese feed! The decor at Fee Fi Pho Fum is cheap and cheerful, and so is the food. With the pho coming in under the $10 mark and a banh mi for less than $8, we would very happily come back here again and again.

Look no further than Perth restaurant Sparrow for cheap and tasty Indonesian take away (some dine in available, if you’re lucky) with cheery local hospitality. It’s by no means fine dining, but the locals pack in every evening to get their hands on favourites like the Beef Rendang. Delicious!

While we used to think of Lost Society as a place for hip young things to bump and grind (are the kids saying 'bump and grind' these days?), their new fusion menu proves it's also the perfect spot to head after work for some bar snacks or a more substantial dinner. But don't worry, in the late hours of the weekend, the bar still transforms into your favourite dance spot, playing hip hop and r&b while the bar pumps out espresso martinis by the dozen.

There is bound to be something for everyone at Annapurna Nepalese Kitchen in Highgate, with over 70 dishes ranging and a good range of vegan and gluten free options, you can't really go wrong. The huge interior is perfect for large groups but it's also great for a small party of two.

They're all about using the freshest local and seasonal produce to give your life a little kick start. I'll take a Nourish Juice followed by a Kickstart and an Immunity. Cheers!

We're a bit obsessed with poke bowls, so when we found out iPoke Bar in the Fremantle Markets was 100% dedicated to these bad boys we were pretty stoked. It’s a salad bar situation here, meaning you get to build your own bowl starting with all the usual raw fish options as well as tofu, and then add whatever you please. We’re not here to judge, but if you don’t get edamame and pickled ginger then you’re doing it wrong. 

One of Mount Lawley’s best kept secrets, Regal Crown on Lord Street serve up tasty Indian and Nepalese food using local and organic produce. If you’re wondering what the difference is between the food from these two nations, Indian curries are generally thicker than Nepalese curries, but they are both equally delicious. Try the Mo Mo’s, the Lamb Kadhai and any of the Biryanis.

A trip to Rottnest isn't complete without a visit to Hotel Rottnest Bar + Bistro for some ice cold bevvies and tasty pub grub.

Be sure to stop by on your next trip over to the island.

Calling all pastry and durian lovers, Freddie Strudels in Northbridge is your sweet spot in town. Freddie Strudels is serving up crispy pastries with delicious durian cream filling that will blow your mind. We recommend the refreshing sweet mango and the crunchy apple strudel—it tastes just like summer. If you’re looking for a true cream explosion you'll want to try the durian cream puff. We dare you not to lick your fingers! 

This casual backyard hipster hangout and live music mecca is the perfect place to see a cool new band or while away a Sunday arvo. Have a boogie inside or head to the courtyard for a more relaxed vibe.

Cakes, cupcakes, macarons, desserts and coffee galore, Garnished The Sweet Kitchen is an artisan dessert bar in Wembley that will knock your socks off. Their hand-painted cakes are absolutely stunning, not to mention delicious, and their art series desserts—which are inspired by famous paintings—are almost too pretty to eat.

Noodle Inn is tucked down a funny little laneway in West Perth but trust us when we say it's well worth the search. Dishing out some of the best laksa in all of Perth, the only thing not to like about this place is that it's only open during the days on weekdays, so if you don't work close by you're going to have to schedule in a special visit. 

For a workout that pushes you to your limits, head directly to Anarchy Training Centre in West Perth.
