Perth’s latest bar and restaurant offerings
Picada is a new Spanish-inspired tapas restaurant that has recently opened in Perth’s Hibernian Place precinct. Taking over the former Arthur & Co, chef Graham Arthur – the original chef behind one of Perth’s longest running tapas bars Duende – brings together a passion for Spanish food and quality WA produce. Serving up sangria and cocktails in a Mediterranean-style setting, the space is ideal for social gatherings with family and friends.
Naber + IIII is the latest venue to hit the revitalised Leederville precinct. The neighbourhood bar combines two separate venues – fine-dining bar Naber, which overlooks Oxford Street, and relaxed all-day courtyard IIII (pronounced four) located out the back of Electric Lane. Both the food and drinks menu hero local producers, with verbal specials rotating weekly.
Located on the corner of Beaufort and Newcastle Street in the cultural hub of Northbridge, Ruinbar is the latest venture from one of Perth’s hospitality heavyweights Miles Hull, one of the original founders of the iconic Little Creatures. The 300-person venue has taken over a previously dilapidated heritage building, with the interiors inspired by eastern European ruin bars. The courtyard area currently plays host to alternating food trucks over weekends, with plans underway to open an Australian style pizzeria. With a third of the bar’s 18 taps reserved for local WA beers and a steady rotation of Australian beers on the remaining taps, there is a beer-for-all – plus Aperol spritz and Paloma cocktails to suit all tastes.
Another award-winning Perth hospitality operator, John Parker, has opened a third venue at the recently redeveloped Karrinyup Shopping Centre. Dandelion is a sprawling two-story venue that includes two bars, a kitchen and distillery. Dandelion Spirits Co is a bespoke distillery creating craft gins and vodka in-house, and forms the centrepiece of the bar floor. Alongside the spirits is a seasonal rotating tap of easy drinking wines, and the open plan kitchen includes a rotisserie grill and wood fired oven, allowing Executive Chef Chase Weber to play with fire in his style of cooking.
Perth CBD’s latest restaurant and bar Any is anything but ordinary, offering guests a progressive and topical dining experience. Whether you’re after a delicious tasting at the Chef’s Table, an intimate a la carte experience in the dining room or a tasty drink in the lounge bar, Any looks forward to welcoming all diners with its motto, ‘anytime, anywhere, anything.’ Previously working in the kitchen at Rockpool and Print Hall, Perth-born chef Josh Gray guarantees a fine dining treat.
