The Prophet

The banquet caters well to vegetarians and has to be one of the best value in Perth

I start dribbling when I even think about the banquet at The Prophet. Bring a gang and don't eat for a week beforehand. The salad has fried bread, the bread has some sort of addictive drug in, the dips are to die for and the felafel are eye-opening. It's yawnfully boring inside, parking is a hassle and the toilets are dodgy, but it is so very very worth it. Book well in advance or order takeaway.

Address: 907a Albany Hwy, Vic Park

Cuisine: Lebanese

Price range: $$

Must try: felafel

Amphoras Bar

Love love love. Yummy food. Great service. Free street parking in the evenings. This is share food at its best. The wine service is non-pretentious and it is wonderful for small groups who like to pick and share and try new things. Don't bother trying to share desserts.

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

Feast Cafe

You don't have to have kids to be welcome at Feast, but if you do have little ones, then you will be very welcomed indeed. Kids have their very own glass walled playroom, so they can play and you can enjoy breakfast or lunch or just rest your head on the table and snooze. For those who are watching what they eat, there is a huge range of healthy (yummy) options, plus some decadent looking cakes for those who aren't.

Address: 363A Cambridge St, Wembley

Cuisine: Cafe

Price range: $

Must try: healthy range of salads

Thach's Quan Vietnamese

So much food. So little money. TQR is the epitome of cheap and cheerful. The banquet options and casual atmosphere make it perfect for large groups - they can handle almost anything. Wear your fat pants.

Address: 27 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands

Cuisine: Vietnamese

Price range: $$

Must try: satay bean curd (don't groan, just try it)

The Old Crow

There is so much going on here at The Old Crow you don't know where to look. It's like Grandma's 
house on drugs, with a 1960s porn star's stereo system and food coming out of the kitchen that you want to snaffle away and hide like you're Gollom and it's the ring. But you shouldn't because it's really meant to be shared.

Address: 172 Newcastle St, Northbridge

Cuisine: Modern/Soul food

Price range: $$

Must try: the char-grilled corn and the death-by-chocolate dessert

No. 4 Blake Street

I have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and was dazzled each time. Service is cheeky during the day and polished at night. The food is beautiful at all times of day. Most evenings are various forms of degustation. Thoroughly recommended.

Address: 4 Blake Street, North Perth

Cuisine: Modern

Price range: $$$$ (dinner)

Must try: all of it

Itsara Thai

The food here is so beautiful to look at, it's almost sad you have to eat it. Luckily it tastes as amazing as it looks. Actually, Itsara is just a winner all round.

Price range: $$

Must try: duck curry

Oishii Japanese

It may be located within a food court, but that doesn't mean you should dismiss this great little Japanese takeaway place. It's consistent, quick and tasty, and the little serves of salad and fruit you get with sets are always appreciated. Dine in at the Food Forum and let the kids run free on the indoor equipment.

Address: Cambridge International Forum, Cambridge Street, Wembley

Cuisine: Japanese

Price range: $

Must try: takoyaki (Octopus balls)

Fortuna Chinese Restaurant

I have been eating at Fortuna Chinese Restaurant since I was about seven years old and without a doubt it is my all-time favourite. I will happily drive for half an hour for their special fried rice. It is typical Aussie-Chinese, with peas in the fried rice and fluorescent orange sweet and and sour sauce but I love it. Take away and dine in.

Address: 66 Scarborough Beach Rd, Scarborough

Cuisine: Chinese

Price range: $

Must try: special fried rice and Mongolian Lamb

Pata Negra

The very famous squid ink paella is not the prettiest dish you will ever see, but many say it should be on your
foodie bucket list.

Inside it feels like you are visiting your (slightly drunk) Aunty who still lives in the 1970s while outside there is a fabulous garden with lights strewn in the trees. But you are there for the food, which is amazing and the best way to experience it, is to let the chef decide for you. Bring your loose waisted pants and a sense of adventure.

Address: 26 Stirling Hwy, Nedlands

Cuisine: Tapas

Price range: $$$

Must try: silverbeet, kale and caramelised onion

Miss Maud's Seconds and Discounts

Not at all scary...

They don't really advertise, and it's a bit hard to find. And when you get there you think this can't possibly be the right place, but once you're inside you will find all the excess stock, seconds and other discounted goodies from the Miss Maud's Bakehouse. Go with an open mind, as you don't know what will be available, but you should find everything from full cakes to sausage rolls to muffins and breads. 

Address: Rear, 136 Fitzgerald Street, Perth

Cuisine: Bakery

Must try: whatever is available

Breakfast @ Miss Kitty's Saloon

Doughnuts and custard for breakfast, anyone?

Yeee ha! You know that vibe you get when you walk into a place and everyone (staff included) are enjoying themselves, Miss Kitty's has that vibe in spades. Whether you come for breakfast and enjoy their crazy breakfast menu, or rock up for dinner to share some tasty bits with your mates (try the baby pork or the poutine) you will have a great time.

Address: 882 Beaufort Street, Inglewood

Cuisine: Soul food, share plates

Price range: $$

Must try: chorizo and slow cooked eggs

Little Caesars Pizzeria

These guys can make amazing creations with ingredients that shouldn't belong on a pizza.

With stores in Mundaring, Leederville and Hillarys, Little Caesars have you covered. These pizzas have imagination, creativity, super fresh ingredients, awesome names and a swag of awards. 
Dine in or takeaway (but not too far: you want to eat them hot).

Address: 127 Oxford St, Leederville

Breakfast @ Gordon Street Garage

These sweetcorn fritters with corn salsa, feta and house smoked salmon is probably my all time favourite breakfast.

The room is a cavernous, converted workshop, with various spaces to enjoy the fantastic food, and you will find all sorts of Perth people perched on tables and couches and bar stools. Breakfast is my favourite meal, and the ones I have eaten here are some of the best I have tried. It's big, it's loud and all the frills are in the food.

Address: 6 Gordon Street, West Perth

Cuisine: Modern

Price range: $

Must try: sweetcorn fritters or polenta with avocado and salsa

Amuse

If you are an unadventurous eater, if you lack stamina or the ability to try new things that might look a little strange, if you are economically disadvantaged, claustrophobic or are a control freak, then eating at Amuse is not for you. However if you want to be challenged (in a dark dark space) then get your credit card ready and prepare to be amazed.

Address: 64 Bronte Street, East Perth

Cuisine: Fine dining

Price range: $$$$

Must try: pumpkin and curry leaf

Nobu

The Nobu fish and chips is like no fish and chips you have ever eaten

The Nobu degustation menu is well and truly special occasion territory, and it is worth the hefty price tag, but it is possible to dine here without a reservation (sit at the bar) and without the second mortgage.

Address: Crown Casino, Burswood

Cuisine: Japanese, Fine Dining

Price range: $$$$

Must try: Nobu fish and chips

Steamboat @ Dragon Seafood Chinese Restaurant

If you have never enjoyed a steamboat you need to rectify that straight away. It's the ultimate in all-you-can-eat-buffet combined with the pleasure of DIY. Cook your own meat, seafood, veggies, noodles and dumplings at your very own table. Messy but fun.

Address: 108 James Street, Northbridge

Cuisine: Chinese

Price range: $$$

It's hidden away like a little gem, and small as well, but Zen Japanese behind the markets in Subiaco has beautifully presented and flavoured food, and at a price that won't make you cry.

Cuisine: Japanese

Price range: $$
