Eating
Where many of Australia's other state capitals might have a handful of top restaurants
charging over $40 a main, in Perth those prices are fast becoming the norm for any estab-
lishment that considers itself above average. Unfortunately, the experience doesn't always
match the outlay, and inferior and lax service is more prevalent than it should be.
It's still possible to eat cheaply, especially in the Little Asia section of William St,
Northbridge. Many restaurants are BYO, meaning you can bring your own wine; check
first. The better cafes are good places to go for a midrange meal, and good coffee and free
wi-fi are becoming more prevalent. Some establishments listed under Drinking blur the
line between bar, cafe and restaurant, and offer good dining as well.
The happening neighbourhoods for new cafes and restaurants are Northbridge, Mt Law-
ley and more recently Maylands, and the city centre has also seen many new options open
around the Brookfield Pl precinct (

)
on St George's Terrace.
