Restaurants in Perth

Mayfair Lane holds the #1 Star Wine List ranking in Perth for 2026 and a World of Fine Wine 3-Star Accreditation — serious credentials in a relaxed gastro-pub format just west of the CBD. Book if wine is your primary criterion; the bar seats are the best position in the room. Booking is easy, the atmosphere is calm, and the food is generously executed classic fare.

Lalla Rookh is the strongest case for wine-led dining in Perth, holding a 3-Star World of Fine Wine accreditation and a list built around cult producers and hard-to-find labels. The split dining room and bar format suits both serious sit-down dinners and more relaxed counter visits. Book it if wine is your reason for going; look elsewhere if the kitchen's sourcing is your priority.

Old Faithful on King Street is Perth's most straightforward BBQ bar — smoked meat, cold beer, and no pretension in the CBD. Easy to book and well-suited to groups or casual celebrations, it delivers reliability over refinement. If you want a no-ceremony dinner with genuine BBQ credentials, this is the call; for a formal occasion, look to Besk or Balthazar Perth instead.
