The Top 30 Places to Eat Near Souq
-
Rank 1. Souq
Middle Eastern
-
-
The nightly degustation menu changes around whatever you tell the chef you want to eat, which is either a dream or a mild anxiety, depending on how decisive you are. This intimate private kitchen in a West Leederville close seats a small room beneath softly glowing pendants and a stacked stone open counter, and the Asian cooking is precise enough to hold an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat.

Rank 7. Wildflower
Modern Australian New American
Perched on the rooftop of COMO The Treasury, this fine dining room looks out over the Swan River through floor-to-ceiling glass, with a terrace for when Perth cooperates. The menu follows the six seasons of the Noongar calendar rather than the usual four, so what lands on the table shifts with the wildflowers and the weather. Local farmers and foragers drive the tasting menu, and the Australian Good Food Guide has awarded it three Chef Hats.

Rank 13. Hearth Restaurant
Modern Australian
Fire does the heavy lifting at this fine dining room inside the Ritz-Carlton, where the kitchen runs on embers and smoke rather than the usual brigade of burners. The menu tracks Western Australian seasons closely, pulling from producers scattered between the Kimberley and the Great Southern. Elizabeth Quay shimmers outside the windows, which the room knows and uses well. Three Chef Hats from the Australian Good Food Guide.

Rank 14. Twenty Seats
Modern Australian

Rank 15. Garum
Italian

Rank 16. Brown Street Grill
Wood-fired Barbecue
The custom-built grill and wood-fired pizza oven are the stars of the open kitchen at this fire-and-smoke restaurant inside Bright Tank Brewing Company. The menu runs WA produce through flames and charcoal, pairing well with something cold from the taps next door. It holds an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat, though the vibe stays comfortably unpretentious, the kind of place where a T-bone and a beer feel like the obvious and correct decision.
-
Rank 17. UMA Restaurant
Peruvian
A Pisco Sour is the obvious opening move at this Peruvian restaurant inside the Pan Pacific Perth, and the room, all grey matte walls, blond timber, and terracotta tile, gives you somewhere calm to drink it. The menu moves through ceviche, grilled octopus, and wood-kissed meat dishes, tracing the coasts and highlands without turning it into a geography lesson. One Chef Hat from the Australian Good Food Guide.

Rank 24. MAESTRO Sourdough Pizza
Neapolitan Pizza
A sourdough pizza shop in a coastal Perth suburb, where the dough follows Neapolitan tradition using flour shipped from Italy and gets a long, slow fermentation that shows in the chew. The menu stretches beyond pizza to appetizers, pasta, and salads, and the dessert and coffee selection is taken seriously. Ranked on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific list, it draws a lively crowd that seems genuinely at ease with the staff.
-
Rank 25. Sandalford Restaurant
Modern Australian
Lunch on a winery estate in the Swan Valley, with vineyard rows framing the window and estate pours arriving alongside. The kitchen leans Modern Australian with a wood-fired streak, turning local produce into the kind of meal that makes the drive feel like the whole point. The Australian Good Food Guide has given it a Chef Hat. Sit outside under old vines if the day allows; the alfresco tables fill fast with people who've clearly done this before.
-
Rank 26. Harry's at Conti
Classical French
Set in a heritage winery homestead on the northern outskirts of Perth, Harry's is a French restaurant run by two brothers whose parents' artwork lines the walls. The chef came up under Michel Roux Snr at the Waterside Inn, and classical technique is the whole point here: this is the kind of room where you slow down, and the pacing makes that easy. The Australian Good Food Guide awards it Two Chef Hats.
-
Rank 27. Wild Swan at Mandoon Estate
Modern Australian
Fine dining inside a working winery estate, with the manicured gardens of The Llawn rolling out beyond the windows. The team pairs a modern Australian tasting menu and à la carte with the estate's own wines, which is a convenient arrangement when the wines are this good. The Swan Valley setting does a lot of the heavy lifting, and the kitchen seems content to match it rather than compete, leaning on seasonal produce and clean technique.
