The Best Restaurants in Northbridge

Northbridge consistently ranks among Perth’s most popular suburbs. Its location near the CBD helps, as does its art galleries and boutique retailers. But it’s the restaurants that really make this neighbourhood so noteworthy. There’s a concentration of cuisines here at all price points. Stop by Est Home of Torung Market for uncompromising Thai food or Tak Chee House for some of the city’s best Hainanese chicken rice. Visit No Mafia or Francoforte for Italian food from all corners of the boot nation. Or visit Wines of While, which arguably kick-started Perth’s obsession with natural wine (and takes it food just as seriously). The spots in this guide, curated by Broadsheet’s editors, make Northbridge one of the most consistently interesting spots in Perth to dine out.
