Having Plateful Perth withdrawals already? Us too. Don’t worry – we’ve got just the thing to satisfy your cravings. Welcome to The Dish, our monthly roundup of what Perth’s best restaurants, cafes and bars are serving up this month. Dig in!

Three chefs, four courses, one seriously good night

Post is teaming up with Mi Scusi this 19 September for a collaboration that brings big Italian flavours, great drinks and even better energy to the State Buildings. You won’t just be going on a culinary journey, but stopping through some of State Building’s best venues, including Postal Hall and Cape Arid Rooms. Come hungry, leave late, and make sure you save room for dessert.

Perth's favourite food market loading

With the warmer months comes the return of our favourite food market! Forrest Place will transform into a food lover’s paradise every Friday evening from 2 October with the Twilight Food Market back for another ripper season. Stay tuned for updates on Instagram.

Girl Dinner, Lil’s Style

Lil’s Rooftop Bar is bringing forward your Saturday bottomless brunch plans with their MANGIA! Hot Girl Dinner. Enjoy 2 hours of flowing spritzes, wine and Mediterranean-inspired share plates, all for just $75, available 8-10pm every Friday night.

You CAN make friends with salad

If you’re sick of mushrooms on toast being the only veggie item on the menu, get ready for a whole smorgasbord of options at Vegozen, Perth’s annual vegetarian food and culture festival. Savour a diverse selection of vegetarian and vegan delights and explore captivating activities like flower arrangement, gardening, oracle calligraphy and Tai Chi.

Double Rainbow goes BYO

Northbridge Asian-fusion favourite Double Rainbow is going BYO all September long! It's free Sunday-Thursday and $10 per bottle on Fridays and Saturdays - you bring the drinks, they'll do the rest.

Twilight Food Market

Grill on, beers cold, music up

While Farra’s been open for a while now, we’ve been patiently waiting for warmer weather to take full advantage of their gorgeous terrace. Our patience has paid off, with the launch of their new Terrace Sessions, On The Grill, a 90-minute Sunday sesh complete with house-made flatbreads, skewers, salads, dips and bottomless pours.

Say ‘ello to a proper British pub

The Queens Arms is set to open at the old Flour Factory site later this month, breaking the CBD’s ten-year British pub drought. It’s backed by Nokturnl, the same hospitality group who brought us iconic venues like Stories, the Old Synagogue and the Beaufort, and we have full faith they’ll be serving up another banger (and maybe some mash if we’re lucky).

Deli Gabe heads west

A favourite amongst CBD-dwellers, Deli Gabe has announced they’re bringing their signature bagels, Korean donuts and specialty drinks to West Perth! They haven’t announced the exact location yet so keep an eye on their socials for updates.

Farm After Five

One of our go-to Saturday morning spots is set to moonlight as a vibrant after-hours destination this 10 September. Perth City Farm’s Farm After Five boasts market stalls, movement classes, art sessions and venue tours, and if you’re hungry just thinking about all that’s on offer, their on-site café will stay open late so you can grab dinner.
