Western Australia’s dining scene is overflowing with exceptional restaurants on both ends of the spectrum: upscale beachside destinations are fine excuses for special occasions, while Perth’s clubby dens make for the ideal start (or end) point to a night out. Whatever your inclination, Western Australia’s culinary landscape fires on all cylinders.

Our expert critics
This guide to Western Australia’s best restaurants in 2025 has been edited by Gourmet Traveller’s expert reviewer and Western Australia state editor Max Veenhuyzen alongside national guide editor Michael Harry. Our team has travelled far and wide to visit – and revisit – dozens of restaurants, seeking out the most exceptional meals and memorable experiences in Western Australia.
To earn a place in this guide, each venue must excel from welcome to farewell, with service, design, originality, consistency and atmosphere each carefully considered. But the most crucial area of excellence is always the food. Every restaurant featured in this guide should be considered gold standard. It’s an exciting snapshot of how we like to eat out in 2025 and beyond.
All of the restaurants reviewed were visited anonymously between March and July 2025 with reviewers paying their own way.
The price guide has been updated this year to convey the average cost for two people. While we’re big fans of solo dining, restaurant visits are more often a shared experience, and this adjustment reflects that.

$ = under $100 $$ = $100 to $175 $$$ = 175 to $250 $$$$ = $250 to $325 $$$$$ = $325+
