Coastal dining and casual beach-side vibes meets Latin American flavours.
Few restaurants in Perth have such an iconic home – the heritage-listed Indiana Tea House is known to generations, having graced everything from tourist campaigns to TV news crosses. In recent years it’s been the subject of spirited debate over redevelopment plans, but for now this beachfront Cottesloe icon is still very much in its Latin era, playing host to this vibrant all-day diner. The seasonal menu of Central and South-American-leaning fare may swing from well-seasoned steak tartare on a tostada to vegetarian arepa with avocado and chickpeas or moist roast chicken with a rich achiote jus. Seafood-forward dishes nail the oceanside dining brief with Latin flair – West Australian snapper ceviche is fresh and colourful, while grilled Fremantle Octopus might come with ancho chilli and hogao (a savoury Colombian tomato and onion sauce). The chocotorta dessert is essentially a Mexican-style tiramisu, oozing with dulce de leche and choc biscuit. Settle in with a spicy marg or a cerveza and enjoy the view.
