We travel around Australia for almost a month and one of the nights in Perth we went to C on a recommendation for both the view and food. Food, wine, view and our waiter Andy were all excellent. We took the five course tasting menu with matching wines. Not cheap but worth every dollar. Thanks a lot C!
Ordered a seafood share plate for $65- 3 prawns, 5 mussels, 4 pieces of crappy quality fish, 5 pieces of squid, 5 cockles (1 wasn't even cooked and won't open), some crappy salad and 6 baby potatoes.
Queried where was the chips and was told they haven't updated the menu and they don't serve potato chips. Other tables were eating potato chips!!
Wouldn't we be told about that before we ordered not after we ordered?
The seafood platter was meant to be shared between 2 people, but the amount of food is enough for one person only. The items on it were odd numbers where we can't even share between 2!
Definitely not worth $65, more like $25 worth of food. Public holiday surcharge on top of that!

My granddaughter turned 20 and her mum and I had high tea at The C restaurant. The staff were lovely and the high tea food was delicious.
The views on this day were special. I would like to go again on a sunny day and a dinner also as I think the night views would be spectacular. A separate little edible gift for the birthday girl was also provided. Very cute🫶

After looking for a nice spot for our anniversary I came across C restaurant. What a lovely time we had there. Great food, excellent service and beautiful views of the city and beyond. Highly reccomend if you like views and looking for a special vibe for a special occasion. Thumbs up guys thank you.
We were looking for a High Tea experience, and looked at a few places around Perth City, and finally decided to give the C-Restaurant a go.
Well we are glad we did. The high tea was excellent, it consisted of tiered array of delicious petit fours, freshly baked scones, bite-sized savouries, and delicate finger sandwiches, served with bottomless cups of tea or percolated coffee. There was a selection of other highly tea’s which included wine or champagne, but as we don’t drink we chose the classic.
The atmosphere was excellent, the restaurant revolves 360 degrees as you enjoy the high tea showing beautiful views of Perth city and surrounding areas.
The wait staff were excellent, they checked in with each table frequently and asked how they could make our experience even better.
If you’re looking for an excellent High Tea experience I can’t recommend the C Restaurant enough, we will be back.
Enjoy!

Spectacular views and excellent food and service. I was here for a birthday celebration lunch and the experience was faultless. The standout dishes for me were the raspberry and dark chocolate and the hazelnut desserts. Our waiter Lucien was perfect. And we were greeted so warmly on entry and when we left. Thank you to the whole team at C Restaurant. Will definitely come back 😊
The view is amazing!!!
Drinks from their new drink menu were delicious.
The food was okay, looked absolutely amazing but didn’t taste as good as it looked. The smoked salmon for example was dense and fishy. The cucumber gazpacho was delightful but the portion was very small. The menu options are also limited. Additional options of appetizers is suggested.

Great atmosphere. Great service. We got the 5 course meal and it was delicious. Only negative thing I have to say is that I'm a big cocktail person and the Singapore Sling cocktail does not taste like a Singapore Sling is supposed to taste but other than that we had a great night.
Made a reservation as this place came highly recommended. Luckily we did as it was bustling when we went. The lady at the front was very straightforward 🤣 but efficient!
We were sat outside under the umbrellas, and it was still cool as there was a slight breeze despite the weather being in the 30s.
Ordered the share platter (turkish bread, pork belly, grilled chicken, patties of some kind served with dips, dukkah, balsamic vinegar, pickles), calamari and fries, and fruit juices to share between 3 people. It was a lovely meal and we were definitely really full!
Would be back 😊

Partisan boasts an idyllic setting that effortlessly merges with the beauty of nature. The restaurant's outdoor seating area is strategically arranged to provide breathtaking river views, making it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
It was a great culinary experience that exceeded all expectations. The menu is a culinary masterpiece that offers a diverse selection of dishes to cater to different palates. I opted for the chef's tasting menu, and it was a gastronomic journey that left me in awe. Each course was a work of art, both in presentation and flavour. The experience justifies every dollar spent.

A beautiful place for a brunch date either with friends or special ones. Nothing can beat these relaxing views and vibes and I’ve become their regular because of these reasons 🤩
The dishes were wonderful and I absolutely enjoyed everything I tried. By the way, this is the only place in Perth where I enjoyed fish and chips 🥰

A bit pricey for such tiny servings and moderately ok-tasting food. My friend and I split the smashed avocado on toast and banoffee crepe between us and for around ~ 30 AUD per head you'd think you'd get a bit more for breakfast. It was an ok meal overall, just wish the servers had been more attentive to our table.
Great location with river views, ordered the seafood platter, the mussels were not the freshest, and the calamari was really chewy. The cocktail menu was fabulous, I will return and try the breakfast menu.
Sharing this for the first time after countless of visits. Mostly here for dinner. Petition is an upscale casual restaurant located inside the State Building in Perth CBD. It has a nice vibe and very popular. They have the best Broccoli & mixed grain salad, ever! The last time we dined here, we ordered chargrilled octopus, beef rump, heirloom carrots salad, broccoli salad, lamb loin and a few others. We enjoyed the food as usual but I must say for the very first time that the lamb loin was a let down. The taste was just not right. I’m sure this will be fixed. I didn’t take any star off because I’ve been here many times. This doesn’t tarnish the restaurant’s reputation in my eyes. Definitely will return to dine for more.
Totally indulgent 8 course delicious degustation. Every dish was phenomenal, with some standout surprises like the asparagus and also the sorbet desert. Had to go for the paired wines which were perfect. Staff were so super lovely and great background music. Best birthday dining experience I have ever had.
In early September 2023, we had the opportunity to dine at Wildflower Perth. It was such a memorable experience, and I cannot wait for to be back in Perth to dine at Wildflower.
We opted for the six-course tasting lunch menu. The chawanmushi was filled with umami flavour, that left me wanting more. The wagyu beef was so good, it was melting in my mouth. The line-caught wild fish was flavourful and it was cooked so well. The dry aged wagon duck was my personal favourite, it was cooked to perfection; the layer of fat was just right and the meat was super tender. For desserts, the tasting menu came with a muntrie dish with elderflower and bee pollen which was so refreshing and delicious; this was me second favourite dish. We ended off the meal with another dessert dish named sandalwood; it was a pear ice cream with biscuit and another flavour (which I can’t remember) that went very well with the dish. Throughout the entire six-course meal, we were served with bread and butter; we couldn’t stop ourselves from two rounds of refill as the butter was once of the best we’ve ever had.
Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Wildflower. We were seated at a table with a nice view, the service was friendly, and prompt, and most importantly, the food was great. It was a meal that I will be talking about for quite a while with my family and friends. I loved it.

We had a fabulous High Tea at C Restaurant! There were 4 adults and we requested easy access as we had an elderly member with us. Staff were very accommodating. We had great views even though we weren’t near the windows. The venue is fabulous and the food was fresh & very tasty! We all enjoyed our time here and we got to take the leftovers home. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Also there is easy parking under the building. I highly recommend C Restaurant for a special occasion. It’s not cheap, but it is worth it! It makes a nice change to dress up, go somewhere special and have great food & service! Honestly the views alone make it worth it!!
Great food and service.
We'll be definitely coming back.
Highly recommend the porcini risotto, very tasty.
Nice view of the river.

My first visit to Petition, I had a late Saturday breakfast there. I had shakshuka and a long black coffee. I liked the atmosphere, the taste of the coffee, the warm bread that came with the meal and the dukkah on the egg yolk. Service was polite. A good first impression.
I have a mixed review here but overall 3 star out of 5.
I've been to many degustation restaurants all over the world and firstly I must say, wildflower is very expensive for what you get.
Each dish costs roughly $30 and if you pair wines with the dishes then thats another $22 per tasting.
Degustation is predominantly small tasting plates but Wildflower Restaurant took the serving sizes to an even smaller level.
The best dish/tasting we had on the night was the wagu beef, and the desert which was a kind of Chocolate Lava.
My partner had never been to a Degustation style dining before and she loved the experience.
Service from staff was pretty much like a reheared play with no personality from any of the staff that served us.
The only staff member that was friendly and seemed to have a personality was the bar person who we paid for our meal to.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was dull with slow service from the staff.
If you want to experience dining at Wildflower just to say you've dined there then expect to pay $600 plus for 2 ppl and walk out disappointed.
I don't mind paying good money for good food ( and have done many times) but Wildflower in my opinion is not on the same level as other Degustation style venues
I will be taking my partner to a different Degustation experience next time and

My family and I came here to celebrate my parent's wedding anniversary while we were in Perth, and it was a delightful dining experience. We tried their 6 course tasting menu and was very impressed. In particular, the duck and the desserts were really memorable! My dad doesn't like duck but he said it's the best one he's ever had. We will return when we are in Perth again :)
Over rated food and menu!
Need to simplify the items and add some flavours to the food
very small serves for the price they charge!
would not recommend to anyone !
if you want to starve go there
Wildflower mean no cooked veg or food just serve it straight from the farm 🤷🏽♂️

Enjoyable food in a nice atmosphere with attentive staff and quick service. Their menu seems to change regularly and they offer a wide range of meals, with our small selection being well prepared, at the table within 10 minutes of ordering and of amazing taste.
The only downside is that their breakfast menu ends around 10:30, but that is likely less of an issue for you than it was for us 😉

Went there with my friend gathering.. A chill place to relax, and taste wines and have food together. Most of the foods are better with pairing wines. Amazing Brunch there …
Everything was immaculate from the views on entry to the servers attention to detail.
The attention to detail started from the flowers my friend bought for me got put in an ice bucket which I thought was a nice touch.
You start off by getting some delicious freshly baked sourdough, it was warm and soft a nice start.
I got the prawns minus the dairy they were delicious and the added freshness of the finger limes and native greens were a perfect pairing.
I got to try my friends duck which was also delicious.
They took my dairy intolerance into account for everything else I ordered and which I loved because I didn’t have to remind them with each dish.
For the main I got the steak, perfectly cooked.
But the real star of the show was the strawberry dessert I had the dairy free option and it was amazing!
This is a place you would go to impress a date or a nice treat for yourself.

Excellent venue with top ambience. The food is absolutely delicious. Recommend you give the gnochi a try it is perfect
After seeing all reviews online we were very keen to try The Partisan. The food was ok, reasonably priced but could be better especially the fish taco which literally had one thin strip of fish each.
We sat outside with nice water views until it started raining the umbrellas outside do not cover/shade some parts of the table.

Outstanding food and service! We'll return for lunch. Low lighting made it difficult to appreciate the beautiful dishes, but using our phone lights revealed amazing details, like mini beetroot flowers. The bartender nailed it with a perfectly chilled Gimlet in a Nick & Nora glass.
Awful experience, I booked on 2/5 5:30.
My friends and I arrived at 5:27, but the elevator is out of order without any notice or sign. We tried so many times and so many ways to get up to the restaurant. We tried to walk by stairs, but it’s only till level 3. Wildflower is level 4. So we go down again to ask other people on ground floor, but no one can help.
Until 5:42, 1 man came down from the Wildflower and he “swipe the card for us” and we finally get there. The First Lady who sever us asked: “ how r u today”, I say no good because elevator is out of order. She said: oh yes, I knew that for a while , there’s some problems to the elevator today.
The point that I feel very angry is, If you already know the elevator is out of order, why don’t you put a sign to let customers know or do something to solve the problem? But all the staff in the restaurant know this thing and they choose do nothing!!! Very ridiculous !
The reason I came here because Wildflower is top 1 restaurant in WA by AGFG, but in my point of view. This is a joke. The whole team improvise is very poor.
They gave us a free juice as compensation.
After I finished the meal about 9:20, when I walked out, still no sign says out of order in front of elevator.
I don’t need your free juice, I can afford $180 per person. What I want is the manager to teach your staff solve the problem instead pretend nothing happened .
If you pay by card, they will have surcharge, the the man in the till didn’t tell you first. The surcharge is a small amount, but if you tell customers inadvance will be better. Otherwise feel very bad.

At Petition, the restaurant service shines with its commendable quality. The staff members are attentive and efficient, ensuring a pleasant and smooth dining experience.
However, regrettably, the food fell short of expectations and left me disappointed. The flavors lacked the desired depth and the dishes failed to deliver the anticipated culinary satisfaction.
Overall, while the restaurant service at Petition is praiseworthy, the food aspect leaves something to be desired. Hopefully, the kitchen can work on enhancing the dishes to match the excellence of their service in the future. 😊
