Taste your way through Perth: The best eats you can’t miss

Thanks to AirAsia’s affordable connectivity, Perth is just a stop away from Kuala Lumpur. From juicy burgers to sambal-spiked comfort food, here’s where to eat like a local on your next Aussie escape

The Chelsea Social at ibis Perth Murray Street

Nestled in the heart of Perth’s city and located within Ibis Perth, The Chelsea Social is where mornings turn into lazy afternoons. Expect picture-perfect plates like smashed avo on thick sourdough, golden waffles with maple drizzle and silky flat whites that hit the spot. The café’s chic, industrial-meets-coastal décor makes it a go-to for locals catching up over brunch or travellers fuelling up before a day of adventure. Pro tip: grab a window seat for that perfect Perth-light selfie.

Strike Bowling at Forrest Chase

Looking to mix your love for food with a little workout? Strike Bowling at Forrest Chase has you covered. This isn’t your average bowling alley;  it’s a full-on entertainment playground with a kitchen that dishes scrumptious bites.Between strikes, tuck into loaded fries, gourmet sliders, and tornado potatoes and more!  It’s the perfect combo of bites, beats and bowling right in the heart of the city.

Yo-chi at Forrest Chase 

Once you’ve bowled up an appetite, cool off just a few steps away at Yochi, Perth’s favourite self-serve frozen yogurt spot. Pile your cup high with creamy froyo flavours like salted caramel, mango, and original tart, then go wild at the toppings bar - from crunchy granola, berries, mochi and a drizzle of melted white chocolate, syrup and more. 

Betty’s Burgers

Craving a burger that’s worth every calorie? You can’t go wrong with any of Betty’s Burgers' huge selection. Juicy patties, perfectly sandwiched between two soft buns, crunchy veges and a myriad of dressing options, every bite is pure comfort food.  Don’t skip the Thick Shakes - a perfect way to end a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Makan Place 

For a dose of nostalgia, Makan Place serves up authentic Malaysian flavours that instantly transport you back to the streets of KL. Think nasi lemak with fragrant sambal, char kuey teow, and laksa bursting with spice and soul. The friendly crew and generous portions make it a favourite among locals and Malaysian expats alike. It’s proof that sometimes the best meals are the ones that taste like home.

Cucina on Hay

Tucked along Hay Street, Cucina on Hay is a slice of Italy in the heart of Perth. With candle-lit tables and the aroma of garlic and fresh basil in the air, it’s the kind of place that makes every dinner feel special. Their homemade pasta, signature,wood-fired pizzas, and flavourful risotto are a must have and are best enjoyed with great company.
