A
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.

Jackson's
The finest of fine dining is offered in this upmarket dining room, where the staff don white gloves to present you with wonderfully creative treats. In the pampering stakes, it's the foodie equivalent of a day spa, minus the bikini wax.

PumpHouse
Idyllically situated on Lake Kununurra, the PumpHouse's innovative dishes feature fine produce – try the rump with blue cheese and pine nuts, or the oven-baked pork fillet wrapped in speck. Watch the catfish swarm should a morsel (accidentally, of course!) slip off the verandah.

Black Pearl
The Med and Mod-Oz cuisine at this stylish BYO eatery can be a bit hit and miss - as can the service. But when both are good, they're great, and when they're not, they're sloppy. Visit on a good day and score a table under the shade sails overlooking Roebuck Bay and you're sure to risk a second visit.

Balthazar
Low-lit, discreet and sophisticated, Balthazar's informal cool vibe is matched by exquisite food and a famously excellent wine list. The menu here is refreshingly original, combining European and Asian flavours with not-at-all-reckless abandon.

E
Grass Tree
With a great surf view and innovative menu, there's no better place for lunch. A chilled wine washes down twice-cooked pork belly or smoked chicken and chickpea salad.

Blue Monkey Restaurant
Start the day in the courtyard with a generous cooked breakfast ($15) and creamy coffee, and end it with a good glass of wine and Mod Oz meal.

Waters Edge
Tuck into some seared scallops with nuoc cham, Tuscan pork belly or local snapper pie out the back of the Carnarvon Hotel. It also has clean, basic rooms.

Star Anise
Tucked down a quiet suburban street, this elegant, intimate dining room is widely lauded as one of Perth's very best. Everything is set to impress, from the candlelight playing on the chocolate-brown walls, to the giant wrought-iron whisk sculpture, to the quiet professionalism of the staff, to the sophisticated, sometimes challenging menu. Onslow Rd runs between Thomas St and Railway Rd, south of Subiaco.

The critics have certainly been amused by this degustation-only establishment, regularly rated as WA's finest. Book ahead and come prepared for a culinary adventure – preferably with an empty stomach.

Provincial
The much-loved Bella Vista has moved a few doors up and morphed into a stencil art–decorated wine bar serving Mediterranean-Oz fusion dishes like Wagyu burgers, stuffed eggplant, homemade pasta (including angel hair with crabmeat) and wood-fired pizzas.

Harvest
Swing through the heavy, fuchsia-painted metal doors and into the dark-wood dining room lined with artworks and curios, then settle down to comforting Mod Oz dishes cooked with a dash of panache.
