The Top 100
The Best Restaurants in Perth and WA
Our Top 100 is dedicated to restaurants. Within it, you’ll find all kinds of venues, from temples of fine dining, regional wineries and noodle shops to bars where the food is even more of a draw than the drinks. As always, every place on this list is here because we recommend it.
To be in the list is to be the best of the best, but also take note of our star ratings, with one star awarded to those venues with an element of sparkle, and polish, vision and execution that's above average; two stars awarded to venues worth booking ahead and crossing town for, where every time will be a great time; and three stars awarded to those at the pinnacle, representing venues achieving everything they set out to on all counts. Taken together, it’s your ultimate guide to WA restaurants for 2026. Here’s to a year of good eating.

The Long List
This year we introduce The Long List. Although these 50 venues may sit outside of our Top 100, or don’t quite fit in Best Pubs or Best Bars, we still passionately recommend them to you. The margin for ‘in or out’ is often slight, and based on our scoring process, they may only fall slightly short on one particular aspect. We love them and hope you will, too.
