Food
Perth has more restaurants per capita than any city in Australia. Its garden fresh produce, mouth-watering seafood and superb wines, combined with its Mediterranean climate and natural beauty, make dining out in the city a wonderful experience. While many signature dishes of local restaurants are based on uniquely West Australian produce, such as marron, sardines, red emperor and goats' cheese and olives, the City's diverse cultural fabric provides an abundance of dining choices, ranging from eating houses to flagship restaurants.
Northbridge is regarded as the hub of Perth's night life and restaurant industry. There is also sophisticated dining along King Street, in the city's West End which is complemented by eating establishments operating from heritage buildings located in the historic precinct and offers an amazing range of dining experiences. The City's retail district with its malls and arcades abound with cafes, bistros and food courts. There are also many well-established restaurants in the West Perth business district, and in the sophisticated caf&#eacute; strips of Leederville and Subiaco.
Apart from the number of quality restaurants, the variety of ethnic restaurants is quite dazzling. Italian, Mexican, Vietnamese, French, Korean, Thai, various types of Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean, Japanese, Greek and Indonesian food is all available in Perth . Suburban shopping malls and city shopping arcades have food courts or halls-areas with multiple vendors where you can try different sorts of food for a very reasonable price. Weekend markets are a good place to find Asian vegetables and other exotic food ingredients.
