Casa

Providing neighbourhood style, Casa in Mount Hawthorn is the go-to place for good food and wine in a laid-back, European dining setting. Settle in and start sipping, with plenty of delicious lo-fi and French wines on the menu (there’s also the option to buy from the in-restaurant bottle store).

Si Paradiso chef Paul Bentley and Enrico Tomelleri, a Sydney-based chef, have come together on the creative dishes, from a charcoal-grilled flank steak with black garlic bordelaise sauce to grilled cod with charred cavolo nero. Pasta lovers will struggle to pick a favourite, while the creamy pistachio gelato has your sweet tooth covered.

Tsukaya

When the sushi cravings hit, Tsukaya is the answer. Specialising in Japanese cuisine with a welcome Peruvian twist, the food here is superb and the dining experience is top-notch.

The menu changes with the seasons to reflect the best produce and seafood, but you can expect cold share plates of fresh sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls. 

If seafood isn't your thing, don't worry! Order the larger plates of crispy pork belly,  fried chicken and tacos to share with your dinner companions, and grab a sake to say 'cheers' to a lovely evening.

Lucy Luu

Adventurous​ ​Asian fusion ​share plates, ​playful cocktails, a premium wine list and good times await at Lucy Luu. Think kingfish ceviche with chilli lemongrass vinegar, and crispy barramundi with lime coriander salsa, paired with a sweet cocktail of cherry bitters, egg whites and gin. 

This is one of the best restaurants in Mount Hawthorn also offering a bottomless brunch. A ‘Get Loose with Lucy’ session to indulge in delicious dumplings and mains, with an endless flow of wine, beer or specialty cocktails.

The fun, quirky, and super-welcoming vibe makes Lucy Luu a beloved Asian-fusion eatery, and it deserves a spot on your weekend brunch or weekly dinner bingo card. 

Sonny's

Part wine bar, part casual restaurant, there's a lot to love about the neighbourhood local Sonny's. The shaded tables out the front are hard to nab when the sun is shining - and rightfully so. 

The sort of place where you could lose track of time on a lazy afternoon, the menu is on hand to ensure you are well-fed and hydrated throughout your visit. 

Start with simple nibbles like fresh oysters, wagyu bresaola and la Delizia stracciatella with roasted grapes. For something heartier, the pork chop with burnt onion and salted plum glaze and shark bay prawn crudo has our attention.

Thirsty? Order from a carefully curated list of beers, wines and crafty cocktails, and you have the recipe for a weekend well spent.
