Satsuki


You need to eat here simply to stare at the very beautiful food. It tastes glorious too, but it is a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. The location may not be overly inspiring (it sits on top of the Subiaco train station) but the food does its best to distract from the comings and goings outside.

Address: Shop 1, 50 Subiaco Square, Subiaco

Cuisine:
 Japanese

Price range: $

Must try: tempura battered tuna roll

Breakfast @ Clancy's Fish Cafe


You'd be forgiven for thinking that there would be a lot of fish on the menu at Clancy's, but at breakfast time (they open at the sensible hour of 7am) there's actually hardly anything fishy at all. With a relaxed, beachy feel, a no-bookings policy, and an outdoor seating area that looks over a playground (and the beach), it is perfect for families and swimmers and everyone in between. The food is quick and tasty and everything is better when you're staring at the ocean.

1907


It's oh so posh and oh so elegant, from the heavy curtains, to the impeccable service; from to the mirror lined chariot de fromage to the impressive tiling in the bathrooms. Prices are on the high end, even for Perth, but there is no faulting the quality and precision that goes into the dishes. Definitely a special occasion restaurant.

Address: 26 Queen St, Perth

Cuisine:
 Modern

Price range: $$$$

Must try: the 1907 Chocolate Plate

Metro Indian


If you are looking to feed a crowd of hungry people then look no further than the banquets (there are three) at Metro. Although not advertised, we were told the banquets were bottomless and we could order more curries if we finished. Sounds great, except the quantities dished up initially are generous anyway. It's fun, they serve cocktails, there's bling on the walls, the food is fine and there is plenty of it.

Address: 6/420 hay St, Subiaco

Price range: $$

Must try: the chicken tikka

Moss Black Cafe


A tiny little cafe in the 'burbs that punches above its weight with own-made breads, mayonnaises and jams. Pop in for breakfast, grab some gourmet rolls to takeaway or sneak in some slice at morning tea. Popular take away coffee and plenty of reading material to peruse while you wait.

Six Senses


Six Senses is a bolt hole at the lower end of Rokeby, so small you can easily walk past it. Once you're in, the smells and sight just hit you, and even if you have to wait for your food, it's ok - anticipation aids digestion, right? It's a tad pricey but the food is oh so pretty and full of flavour (except the spring rolls for some reason). It's BYO so don't make the same mistake I did! Really interesting food.

Address: Shop 23, 17-31 Rokeby Rd, Subiaco (opposite old markets)

Cuisine:
 Thai

Price range: $$

Must try: red duck and lychee curry

Cafe Cafe


I remember eating breakfast here in the past and loving it. Recently I have been underwhelmed. Still, the serves are generous and it is popular with large groups of cyclists and families who spill out into the al fresco area. There is plenty of free reading material and the cakes in the cabinet look pretty awesome, so maybe stop by for afternoon tea.

Address: 29 Station Street, Subiaco

Price range: $

Must try: the takeaway coffee and muffins are always popular
