It all comes in a handy little thermo bag so you can grab it on your way to the picnic—that's what we call winning.

You've probably walked past Tong 86 a million times and never noticed it or been tempted to go inside, but let me tell you, this is one of Perth's best Korean BBQ joints. Yes, you sit on dodgy old chairs and yes, the interiors are nothing to write home about, but the food is delicious. Especially the kimchi stew and the kimchi pancake (fan, much?).

Freak-shake lovers rejoice - this place is going to knock your socks off! Not only do the mega freak-shakes at Belmont's Cafe 2TwentyFour reel in peeps from all over Perth, but the remainder of their menu is pretty spot on too. We'd recommend a Golden Gaytime megashake along with the pulled pork eggs benny. Make sure you head down super early, this place gets busy.

Mount Lawley restaurant The Modern Eatery specialises in Aburi sushi—a style where the fish is partially cooked with a blow torch and partially raw, resulting in a subtle buttery and smokey flavour. They serve up fresh and delicious Aburi sushi alongside a good range of uramaki, sashimi, nigari and tempura.

You won't be disappointed. 

Kalamunda cafe Mason & Bird is putting the hills on the culinary map in a serious way. The brain child of Print Hall's former head chef, Brad Johnston, his partner Jacklyn Noel and the ex-venue and bar manager of Rockpool, Matt Nguyen, Mason & Bird is less fine dining and more of a casual affair but with the same wow-worthy flavours you'd expect from these guys.

For some of the best Korean fried chicken in Perth look no further than Gami Fried Chicken & Beer tucked into Shafto Lane.

We love a restaurant with a quirky name, so Canning Vale's Phoever gets our vote. These guys have five different types of pho to choose from—our tip is the pho trio, which has beef, chicken and pork. All the food comes out super fast and is ridiculously delicious. The decor is nothing fancy but when the food is this good, who cares.

Magna Pizza—one of our fave Freo pizza joints—has opened up in Mount Hawthorn and is dishing out their delicious (and seriously good value) pizza using natural traditional ingredients. Letting the dough rise for at least 36 hours, the pizza is sublime and extremely digestible—always a plus! Our top picks include the Poppea—4 cheeses, sage and walnuts—and the Cicerone—Bolognese sauce, mozzarella, sausages, hot salami and capsicum.

Bayside Kitchen, sister to the fabulous Matilda Bay Restaurant, has just been renovated and is looking more snazzy than ever.

Everything is fresh, vibrant and colourful and we can't get enough of this place.

We love our bread, we love our butter but most of all we love Harvest Boulangerie Patisserie in Scarborough! There's a reason people queue up outside the door here—and it's mostly because of those amazing baguettes and the heavenly smell they produce while they're baking. One bite and you’ll forget about your daily calorie intake. They also do amazing croissants and sweet treats and the coffee here is delish.

Raclette exists in Perth and it’s in Subiaco at Woodpeckers. What’s raclette you say? Just a GIANT wheel of cheese which is heated so that the melted part can be scraped off until all your cheesy dreams come true. The team here also do super delish pizzas and it is BYO so grab a bottle of wine and then go and stuff yourself full of cheesy goodness. If you want the raclette, make sure you book in advance.

From the mastermind behind Halford Bar and The Standard comes one of our fave additions to Cathedral Square, Saint Larry. A hole-in-the-wall cafe at the City of Perth Library, this place is serving up epic coffee as well as sandwiches and salads that’ll blow your mind. It’s no wonder Saint Larry is a firm favourite among the city folk.

For a tradish yoga experience straight out of India head to The Yoga Space in Sorrento. The head yogis from this lovely little studio right on the beach offer classes in the Ashtanga led, Vinyasa and Yin styles, as well as pregnancy yoga and beginners courses. This is definitely a yoga studio with a killer view which feeds the soul.

Kafka popped up in Northbridge with their totally insta-worthy dip dyed coffee cups and stole our (Instagram) hearts.

Occupying the old Dome Coffee building on the corner of Milligan and Hay Street in Perth, Tiisch opened back in 2016 and instantly became a crowd favourite with the CBD workers.

This place should not be called ‘Okay Vietnamese’. It should be called ‘Friggen Amazing Vietnamese That’s So Good I Want To Go Every Night’. That probably won’t fit on the sign on their door though… If you try this Northbridge joint out you'll want to order the pho of course. Expect a big bowl of delicious, hearty, traditional pho for only $11.50. Pho-nomenal.

One of Perth’s most acclaimed restaurants, Hadleigh and Carolynne Troy sure know how to put together an innovative and flavourful degustation menu. A gastronomic marathon of fresh local produce, several different cultures and of course, limited edition wines, the food at Restaurant Amusé is quite simply, outstanding. Tucked away in a residential area of East Perth, be prepared for one of the most special meals you’ll ever tuck into.
