Words by Ashley Valli.

Dine like the French at some of the most authentic French restaurants in Perth. Whether you might be looking to try your first snail over a buttery chardonnay or simply wanting one of the finest dining experiences out, we have the places for you. The French cuisine in Perth? J’adore!

P’tite Ardoise Bistro

Step into tradition with P’tite Ardoise Bistro. This elegant French restaurant sits within the main hub of Mount Lawley and has quickly become a French people favourite. Check them out for classic bistro dishes like their escargot à ma façon (snails made the chef’s way) and their duck confit with orange sauce and potato puree.

283 Beaufort Street, Perth

Angel’s House

This gorgeous French restaurant is part of an 1880 heritage building in Fremantle with outdoor seating and a wine bar. Angel’s House was created by two French brothers, Anthony and Jeremy, who both hail from the south of France. Gorge yourself on their crowd-pleaser dish, the boeuf bourguignon, with braised beef and red wine sauce. And don’t leave before you have a chance to try their riz au lait – a silky treat of creamy rice and salted-butter caramel.

24 Essex Street, Fremantle

Chez Pierre

Tucked into Nedlands is the restaurant Chez Pierre, which specialises in French provincial cuisine. Pierre himself studied cookery at the culinary institute Le Cordon Bleu in France, so make sure to indulge in the dégustation menu, where each course pairs with the perfect wine. Get your mouth watering over dishes like the carré d’agneau rôti: marinated lamb with white bean and rosemary mousseline.

131 Stirling Highway, Nedlands

French Accent

It’s all about presentation at French Accent! Here, traditional cuisine is infused with a youthful and interactive approach toward the French dining experience. While their menu appears simple with dishes like pea and ham soup and duck confit, you will be amazed by what arrives at your table. Beautiful food, fantastic service: you won’t go amiss here.

642 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley

Bistro Guillaume

Ooh la la. If there’s a place to feel like a celebrity in Perth, it has got to be dining on French-inspired cuisine over the blue waters of Perth Crown Metropol’s pool. This luxury centre is the perfect place to spoil yourself with the French dining experience. Try out their Parisian gnocchi with mushrooms and macadamia cream and let your senses go to heaven. What’s more? Bistro Guillaume offers free top-ups on the bread and butter.

Crown Perth, Great Eastern Highway, Burswood

Mistelle

Your favourite lunch outing sorted! This modern French bistro is located within the Bickley Valley out by the Greenmount State Forrest. Dine amongst the Jarrah bushland and Hainault Vineyard and enjoy the fresh local produce of WA. For the perfect dish, treat yourself to Mistelle’s duck confit leg with braised cabbage and toasted almonds. Make sure to get your bookings in on Mondays, too, where the chef experiments with new recipes as a part of their Test Kitchen Monday lunch.

255 Walnut Road, Bickley

Le Rebelle

Old time New York meets the backstreets of Paris. This European restaurant, while not strictly French, deserves the recognition. Le Rebelle’s crab toast and duck liver parfait with truffle butter are classiques not to be missed between you and your friends. Experience this phenomenal restaurant and then finish off with a vanilla bean crème caramel dessert.

676 Beaufort Street, Mount Lawley

Editor’s Pick:

Vincent Wine

While Vincent may not bill itself strictly as a French restaurant, when it comes to vibes – well, you’re practically in a charming Parisian courtyard. Their ample wine list leans heavily to the French, and the constantly rotating menu scribbled on the tiles will have you saying “Ooh la la!”: think pâté en croûte, salade niçoise, duck confit or coq au vin.

465 William Street, Perth
