Downstairs from recently opened hospitality precinct The Station, you’ll find a new gem, Ludo. Quickly becoming a local favourite, this chic restaurant boasts a menu that blends French influences with Australian ingredients. The French influence extends beyond the food to the entire restaurant’s interior and atmosphere - you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a cosy corner in Paris.

181 Central Avenue, Mount Lawley
For those who enjoy a good glass of wine with their meal, Bar Vino in Mount Lawley is a must-visit. Willing Coffee by day, the space transforms into the cosy wine bar and restaurant that is Bar Vino by night. A carefully curated wine list complements a simple yet refined menu featuring seasonal Italian classics and the space sits pretty within an old heritage corner deli. Whether you’re stopping by for a glass of wine or a meal, you’re guaranteed a cosy vibe.
77 Old Perth Road, Bassendean
Bertie is the new kid on the block in Bassendean, bringing a fresh and contemporary dining experience to the suburb. Cosy and welcoming, this neighbourhood wine bar and bistro has a British inspired menu and a focus on comfort food. Think scotch eggs and bangers and mash - yum! For those that love a good wine, the wine list is equally as impressive as the menu. What could be more comforting in this winter weather?
1 The Esplanade, Perth
Sydney’s impressive 6Head has made its way to Perth and we couldn't be more excited. Located in the Elizabeth Quay precinct of the city, 6Head offers an upscale dining experience with an intimate decor and impressive menu. Although a steakhouse at heart, the menu offers a variety of other options, also renowned for its quality seafood and elevated classics. Think chicken parfait atop brioche, an abundance of oysters, and sumptuously slow-cooked chicken. But we can’t go past the tomahawk steak – it’s a showstopper.
3/45 Henderson Street, Fremantle
Although it’s hasn’t technically opened just yet, we had to include this new Freo offering that’s about to swing open its doors very soon. Celebrating the spirit of Australian barbecue, Cassia’s vibrant and flavourful menu focuses on share plates and local produce. The drinks menu follows a similar philosophy, emphasising WA wines and botanical cocktails crafted to complement the wood-fired flavours. We can’t wait to try it!
