A
Annalakshmi
While the 360-degree views of the Swan River are worth a million dollars, Annalakshmi is actually a vego curry house run by volunteers. Paying by donation, an eclectic mix of hippies, local and visiting Indians, and Perth families line up for spicy curries and fragrant dhal.

Matsuri
You’ll feel a bit like a carp in a fish tank here – floor-to-ceiling glass runs the perimeter of this large, long-standing Japanese restaurant. The tempura udon with sushi set ($20) is enough to feed two salarymen.

Good Fortune Roast Duck House
Locals charge in here for family-sized feeds of barbecue pork, roast duck and noodles. The front window, with its glistening hanging ducks, will make you salivate.

Fraser’s Restaurant
Atop Kings Park, overlooking the city and the glittering Swan River, Fraser’s location is unrivalled. The food has enjoyed a good reputation for years, with Mod Oz standards such as chargrilled rock lobster and roast ’roo on beetroot rōsti and polenta. Its more casual sister restaurant next door, Botanical Café, is open for breakfast and lunch.

Soto Espresso
Modern Soto opens onto the street to welcome its inner-city crowd, from stay-at-home dads to bleary-eyed students. The lime-green banquette is a great spot to watch all the comings and goings, and the large croque - monsieur ($10) will cure that super-sized hangover.

Little Creatures
Little Creatures is classic Freo: harbour views, fantastic brews (made on the premises) and excellent food. Try the classic chilli tomato mussels ($22) and wood-fired pizzas – the blue cheese, pear and rocket ($18) is sensational – while sampling the boutique beer menu. No bookings.

Tiger Tiger
While the wi-fi here attracts bespectacled blogger types, the cool feel, with polished concrete floor, communal table and antique-style wooden chairs, might play a part, too. It’s signed off Murray St.

Chutney Mary’s
The feisty, authentic Indian food here is much loved. The menu is huge, and much of it’s devoted to vegetarian favourites such as malai kofta and dal makhani. The vibe is colourful and casual, with wall-sized scenes of Indian life.

Balthazar
Low-lit, discreet and sophisticated, but unpompous. The menu here is refreshingly original with a strong European twist, with dishes such as caramelised witlof, Roquefort tempura, and aromatic chai pannacotta accompanying sticky date pudding.

Oxford 130
Boasting one of the best breakfasts in Perth, this is the classic, casual cafe you need in every neighbourhood. Elbow your way into a booth, or pull up a milk crate out front, eavesdrop on the local gossip and let the day slip by.

King Street Café
This Perth stalwart played a crucial role in creating a cafe culture back when only European expats and well-travelled types drank espresso. Great decor, great wine list and an expansive menu that changes monthly.

Ecco
With black-and-white prints of Italy slicked along the walls, small and rustic Ecco is all about the perfect Italian pizza. Slip into a wooden table inside, or gaze at passers-by out front, and get busy munching.

John Street Café
Just two minutes from the beach, cute John St Café is the locals’ spot for that late-morning brunch-cum-lunch. Dig into divine eggs Benedict or a breakfast bagel of bacon, avocado and cream cheese.

Must Winebar
Arguably Perth’s best wine bar, this is a fine restaurant as well. Tuck into local WA speciality produce such as Margaret River Wagyu beef shanks, or simply stop by for a glass of something delicious.

Cafe Cafe
A local favourite, Cafe Cafe is considered by many to have the best coffee in Perth. A down-to-earth, unfussy spot where the focus is more on the Illy coffee than the food.
