Perth Foodie Guide: The 5 Best Bites in the Capital City

Renowned first and foremost for its easy going lifestyle and seemingly endless stretch of coast, Perth is a little-known mecca when it comes to top notch food and drink. Roam the secret laneways and explore the city's suburbs and you'll soon discover that this laidback little capital is as at home with fine dining as its cosmopolitan counterparts to the east.

 

Fancy yourself a pathfinding foodie? Pick up a car hire in Perth and sample the city's best eats, from modern Mexican fare to award-winning Modern Australian.
