Meeka

The thing about Moroccan food is that looks can be deceiving. Tagine is basically a stew, and they don't look that beautiful, but they can taste exceptional. They can also look a bit small on the table, and you think 'there is no way that is enough food' but believe me, it will be. 
Always stay for the donuts.

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.

Bistro Felix

Every now and then I dream of this salmon and risotto dish...

My sister and I have both taken our Dad here on separate occasions with the intention of choosing from the moderately priced lunch menu, yet somehow we always find ourselves buying his lunch from the very expensive and extensive full menu. It's pricey, but somehow you don't ever regret it.

Address: 118-120 Rokeby Rd, Subiaco

Price range: $$$$

Hobart Street Deli

This is the type of place locals want to keep their own little secret, but the Hobart Street Deli not only has a really interesting menu and good food, it is also directly opposite a gated park that is just perfect for small children.  Winner.

Pancakes @ Carillon

Pancakes as a special treat brings so many great memories back to me as a child growing up in the 80s. Now I bring my own children here, sometimes for breakfast, sometimes for lunch - but always for pancakes. They do sweet and savoury, and breakfast is what you would find elsewhere, except with pancakes instead of toast. Awesome!

Address: Level 3, Carillon Arcade, Perth City

Itsara Thai

Matilda Bay Restaurant

Matilda Bay is a counterpoint to the claim that you can't have a good view and good food. It's expensive and very posh, but the food is top quality and thoughtful and makes you want to lick the plates (but you can't, because it's too posh). Lunch specials are still top quality but more affordable. and if you're lucky, you might see a dolphin.

Address: 3 Hackett Drive, Nedlands

Cuisine: Modern

Price range: $$$

Must try: Crepes with Grand Marnier
