The best places to eat and drink around West Leederville

Since we first wrote this little West Leedy neighbourhood guide, the suburb has gone from strength to strength – with an ever-growing cohort of delicious spots ready to sate hungers and quench thirsts from morning ’til night!

Outside of the great places along Railway Parade there’s a brand new little hub right in the middle of the little business district that’s poppin’ with some great burger and beer joints, plus loads more. Get the skinny below:

Slow Daze

From the same crew as beloved Subi coffee spot Obi, hole-in-the-wall spot Slow Daze ups the ante with the same killer coffee and even more brekkie choices for rumbling tums. Bagels and baked goods line the cabinet, but we dare you to resist the call of that sausage and egg muffin…

Bad Love Burger Co.

After making the jump from pop-up to bricks and mortar in West Leedy, Bad Love has maintained its status as quite possibly Perth’s best burger joint every year since. Big, juicy, smashed-to-within-an-inch-of-their-life patties plus booze is a winning combo as far as any sane person is concerned (not to mention that fried chicken that is too often a Friday night treat of ours…), and Bad Love’s continued full house every night is a testament to just how darn well they do it.

Besk

When we first wrote about Besk oh-so-long ago, it was as a highly anticipated opening – and in the intervening years it’s become an integral part both of West Leederville’s burgeoning precinct, and for craft drinking across the city. The bar has gone from strength to strength: you only have to visit on a Friday evening to see the ardent following it has accrued – but we’re quite partial to sneaking into that little courtyard for a sneaky sun-drenched afternoon vino and a few tasty snacks.

Goods Bakery

It should come as no surprise that Goods would make its way onto this list. Arguably our current obsession, the new spot has been cooked up by the crew at Modus – it serves as the central bakery for the group’s three other cafes, as well as a stellar destination of its own. Pastries are next level, and a sweet, restrained retro fitout completes the vibe. Make sure to grab a homemade chutney for the road.

The Exchange Brewing Co.

The Exchange Brewing Co. is a bit of a jack-of-all trades within the West Leedy business hub we mentioned at the start of the article. Right across the road from Bad Love, they’re a cafe that slings good coffee and breakfasts in the morning, before turning into a nice little lunch and dinner spot later in the day. As you may have guessed they’ve also got their own craft brewery on site with a few nice drops – it makes for a chill little beer spot after work.

Otherside of Nowhere

For something a little more upbeat head down the road to the buzzy little warehouse that holds Otherside of Nowhere (the new era that combines the former Nowhereman Brewing with new owners Otherside Brewing) for some delicious food and a dangerous selection of craft brews on tap. Their pub-style fare has a few twists on some signature favourites, and there’s always something going on – including quiz nights, new brew drops and heaps more.

25 Harrogate Street, West Leederville

Chez Jean-Claude Patisserie

While their Rokeby Road outpost has the charm of Subi’s leafy streets, Jean-Claude’s West Leederville location has all the goods in an even bigger space! Their signature narrow, wondrously-crisp baguettes make a perfect lunch on the go, but the visit really wouldn’t be complete without an almond croissant, tart or palmier for the road.

26 Oxford Close, West Leederville

Mary Street Bakery

This one seems like a bit of an obvious choice, but good old reliable Mary Street can’t go without a mention. You know what you’re getting, but what you’re getting is so good! West Leederville is one of our favourite locations of the ubiquitous Perth bakery.

Hylin

Brunch favourite Hylin has gotta be your next Sunday morning destination. Pull up a chair under the trees out the front and take in their lush menu – whether you’re after a quick bagel or their impressive smashed avo. If you’re there later in the day, the bar out the back (appropriately called…Back Bar) is a leafy oasis with great bar eats, and a nifty $10 burger deal on Thursdays.

Pearth Organic Kitchen

Pearth is all about providing nutritious choices no matter your dietary need – so whether you’re gluten intolerant, vegetarian, vegan or an omnivore, you’ll find something wholesome to fill your tummy. Paired with some great coffee, with plenty of milk alternative options, you can’t go wrong.

106C Cambridge Street, West Leederville

The Wine Thief

The Wine Thief boasts a lovingly curated collection of wine, beer, cider and spirits. This is the perfect spot to pick up something unique – particularly if you’re looking for something beautifully packaged to gift someone special. Make sure to drop into the attached Coffee Thief for a killer coffee if it’s a bit early in the day to crack open the vino.

69 McCourt Street, West Leederville

Andly Private Kitchen

Andly Private Kitchen may be one of West Leederville’s best-kept secrets. Although Andly has been open since 2015, it’s seldom talked about in the same buzzy way that many other eateries do. The refined, always-changing degustation menu traverses through the Chinese provinces, utilising the best WA produce on offer.

50 Oxford Close, West Leederville

Piccolo’s Corner

Leafy neighbourhood favourite Piccolo’s Corner is a charming spot whether you’re picking up a takeaway from their window or camping out in their courtyard over some poached eggs. A perfect spot to pat some doggos on a Sunday morning.

58 St Leonards Street, West Leederville

JB O’Reilly’s

We’re no strangers to an Irish pub around Perth, but JB O’Reilly’s in West Leedy is right up there with the best of ’em – to be sure to be sure. A rambunctious little spot to enjoy the craic with mates and some live music on the weekend or important pub lunch meetings (washed down with a Guinness of course), it’s a ripper.
