Where to eat and drink

Picabar

51 James St, Northbridge

We’d be remiss to out together this list and not mention Picabar, a Northbridge institution with great drinks, great food and even better company. It’s also the perfect option if you’re on a budget – you can grab a steak sandwich and pint for just $30 all day, everyday.

Old Shanghai

123 James St, Northbridge

This no-frills food court in the heart of Northbridge offers authentic Asian cuisine, drinks, burgers and more at prices any student would love. They’re open from 9:30am until late 7 days a week, so you’ll be able to satisfy those dumpling cravings no matter what time they hit.

Little Willy’s

267 William St, Northbridge

It might not be the kind of place you hear that much about online, but we have it on good authority that Little Willy’s is serving up some of the best breakfast burritos in town. This cosy, hole-in-the-wall cafe has been part of the Northbridge community since 2010 and is the perfect spot to fuel up before class.

The Royal

531 Wellington St, Perth

Just a stone’s throw from the brand-new ECU City Campus is The Royal, a true Perth icon that’s been pouring pints since 1882. They’ve got everything we love about a classic Aussie pub – cosy décor, great service, delicious food and happy hour drink specials.

Kuld Creamery

8/10 Roe St, Northbridge

If you’re the type of person who’s motivated by the promise of a post-class sweet treat, we highly recommend stopping by Kuld Creamery. They’ve earned a cult following for their rotating selection of gelato flavours, though we can’t go past their house-made ice cream sandwiches.
