The Most Romantic Restaurants in Perth for Date Night

Getting out of the house for a delicious meal with your lover is never a bad idea. Luckily, Perth's dining scene provides no shortage of restaurants serving romance with unbridled abandon. From Parisian-style bistros with many an aphrodisiac on the menu to seaside eateries and neighbourhood wine bars, there's no shortage of date night spots across the city.

No swiping left or right will be required, we've sampled many morsels in the name of love, and have concluded these are the most romantic restaurants in Perth.

Yiamas

Subi is all the better following the opening of this modern, fresh and casually cool Greek taverna. Perfect for that first date where you want to impress, but still with relaxed vibes.

With colourful mezze share plates, delicious cocktails and a chic cement bar looking into the kitchen, we can't get enough of Yiamas. Sit out in the leafy, trellised outdoor area and pretend you're living the good life in Santorini, a glass of ouzo in hand and your flirting game on point. 

26 Denis Street, Subiaco 

La Condesa 

Sitting oh-so-pretty on Hay Street, La Condesa is a Mexican restaurant that'll add a little spice (in a spicy marg) to your next night out with your partner. 

Grab a table on the alfresco, order some cocktails and make yourselves at home. From the seasonal cocktails to mouthwatering tacos, indulge in the fun vibes at this SoCal-cool restaurant. It's funky, flirty, and the perfect spread for date night. 

483 Hay Street, Subiaco

Lums Wine Bar 

This stunning two-storey heritage-listed terrace is a must-visit for all lovers - who also happen to be wine lovers! Welcome to Lums Wine Bar, offering boutique and delicious drops sourced from places near and far, alongside mouthwatering nibbles.

Drop in to see what’s being poured from their constantly rotating and ever-evolving wine list, and charm the pants off your date at this understated local. 

433 Hay Street, Subiaco

Wildflower

Why share your love over just four seasons when you can shower your partner in adoration across six seasons, just like the like menu at Wildflower?

Head chef Michael D'Adamo understands insatiable appetites and has created a six-season native menu based on the Noongar calendar. Currently in the spotlight is the Makuru season, featuring Scarlett Banksia and a heavy focus on fire in food prep.

And hey, since you're on the rooftop of the COMO The Treasury hotel, ensure the night never ends by checking into one of their six-star suites.

COMO The Treasury, 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth

Uma 

Uma is worth its weight in Peruvian fine-dining gold. Sophisticated but fun, its warm and intimate atmosphere will help quell any date night butterflies. 

Bold Peruvian flavours are on display here, and ceviche lovers will be spoilt with tasty variations. Whisper sweet nothings over the ceviche Peruano, with snapper, leche de tigre (tiger's milk) and ribbons of charred sweet corn. The beef skewers exude a smoky tenderness, best followed by the budin de pan; a cross between a crème caramel and bread pudding, infused with drunken blackcurrants and baked to resemble the texture of custard.

Heritage Wine Bar

Brookfield Place is one of Perth's grand buildings encompassing the city's historic charm. High ceilings, jarrah timber and leather booths set the scene at Heritage Wine Bar for what can only be described as a decadent dining experience.

Oysters with nori jam and yuzu, steak tartare and roast pork belly with charred apple sauce – each dish is a symphony of WA's fresh produce – paired with a wine list declared Old World and New World. 

Brookfield Place, 131 St Georges Terrace, Perth

Vinotto

Anchovies on toast and pickled Fremantle octopus are just some of the dishes inspired by the Mediterranean served in this intimate wine bar in coastal Swanbourne.

Vinotto sits in a former bookshop, where you’ll likely be inspired to curl up with a good read or siesta after the hearty dishes crafted from the compact kitchen. French, Spanish, Italian and Greek labels, including rich sherries and vermouths, sit comfortably alongside local drops and innovative non-alcoholic options.

Instantly inviting, this neighbourhood gem makes for a truly romantic setting, and is one of our go-to date night spots in Perth. 

Lot 2/137 Claremont Crescent, Swanbourne

Balthazar

Embracing the nostalgic Art Deco era, and set in the elegant Lawson apartment building overlooking the Swan River, Balthazar is a long-standing favourite for memorable reasons.

By seeking out small producers and wine-makers using minimal intervention, their wine cellar showcases a broad range of labels from WA's Frankland River in the Great Southern to whites from the Loire Valley.

Pair the extensive wine list with the seasonal menu, such as the duck breast with orange and seafood spaghetti inspiring all kinds of Lady and the Tramp scenarios.

6 The Esplanade, Perth

Powells Fromagerie and Wine Bar

A platter of cheese and tasty morsels laid out before you and your love screams romance. Since opening, Powells Fromagerie and Wine Bar in Electric Lane has reignited our love affair with the simple pleasures in life - gooey cheese, charcuterie, freshly baked focaccia and wine.

Brought to you by Jasmine Powell of Tapas Addict, who is renowned for her grazing boards paired with curated wine lists, Powells is chic, industrial, and perfect for date night.

12 Electric Lane, Leederville

La Lune

Meaning 'the moon,' La Lune opens when the moon sets and stays open long after it rises. As Audrey Hepburn famously said, "Paris is always a good idea," and so is this Parisian bistro in East Fremantle.

Steak frites, tartines, moules frites, wagyu steak tartare, royale cheeseburgers and crème brulee paired with local and European wines are très chic, complete with a striped awning and a luxe interior.

73 George Street, East Fremantle

Post Osteria & Bar

There's something romantic about sharing a meal against a historical backdrop, especially over a negroni or Tuscan Sangiovese. Set in what was once the franking room of Perth's General Post Office, you can't help but feel the romance in one of Perth's most stunning state buildings while delving into contemporary Italian classics at Post Osteria & Bar.

Executive Chef Kim Brennan, who worked at celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita’s Flying Fish restaurant in Fiji, oversees the menu showcasing prosciutto San Daniele, tagliatelle osso buco, pork cotoletta with sage, tiramisu and formaggi. 

COMO The Treasury, 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth

Le Rebelle

Nothing declares devotion to French cuisine like the menu at La Rebelle. From escargots and duck liver parfait to poisson du jour with frites on the side, you and your date will be treated to an entirely indulgent culinary affair.

Wash it all down with a carefully curated local and international wine, beer and cider list and classic cocktails inspiring a lengthy linger within this chic and intimate space where Paris meets New York.

Santini Grill

The Santini Grill at QT Perth is eternally romantic, with a rich, deep theme, elegant decor and delicious meals inspired by the Mediterranean sunshine.

The award-winning Italian restaurant serves an endless array of WA's produce crafted into dishes you would see along the Amalfi Coast, such as wood-fired pizza, mouthwatering pasta, and to finish, creamy tiramisu and polenta cake.
