The City of Perth has many restaurants and cafes serving the freshest produce at reasonable prices, with dining experiences throughout the city to suit your palate and wallet.
For those on a budget, a restaurant dim sum lunch or a visit to one of Perth's modern food halls is a great choice. Food halls offer a variety of cuisines including Chinese, Japanese, health food and English roasts, making hem a good choice for families.
World class restaurants are also available, many located within Perth's five-star hotels, in stunning locations overlooking the city or river. Alfresco dining is available almost everywhere and is a popular choice in the long summer months.
In the CBD and Northbridge you will find many cafes serving excellent coffee, as well as gourmet grocers where you can pick up ingredients to "make your own".
In the evening, there is plenty of entertainment to be had around the city. Night time venues ranging from combined art gallery/bars through to underground dance clubs and themed pubs offer a range of choices for every night owl.
Northbridge has by far the greatest concentration of clubs and bars, drawing crowds particularly on Friday and Saturday nights. Music styles including house, funk, jazz, hip-hop and the blues draw a mix of patrons to the precinct, creating an energetic night-time atmosphere.
For those seeking a different scene, there are plenty of friendly pubs in which to play a game of pool and listen to live music.
The "West End " is a popular choice for after-work socialising that extends late into the night in boutique breweries and glistening modern bars. Further towards West Perth, you'll find even more stylish venues, including the lush Onyx and Black Tom's, where you can enjoy fresh oysters with your champagne.
The CBD is not traditionally known as an after-hours destination, but there is a host of tucked-away bars located around the city, some underground, some in arcades and malls, and others located within the many hotels along St Georges Terrace.
East Perth also has some excellent restaurants and Barrack Square is in a sublime riverside location for alfresco dining on a balmy summer's evening.
