Atop Kings Park,
overlooking the city and the glittering Swan River, Fraser's is in a wonderful location.
Thankfully, the food is also excellent, making it a popular spot for business lunches and
romantic dinners on the terrace on balmy summer nights. Pair the turmeric, snapper and
king prawn curry with a Leeuwin Estate riesling from Margaret River.

Il Lido
(

;
88 Marine Pde; mains $20-35; 7.30am-late)
Il Lido's al fresco area is popular
with Cotteslocals and their dogs, but we prefer the sunny interior of this self-styled 'Itali-
an canteen'. Breakfast and coffee attract the early-bird swimmers, and throughout the day
antipasto plates, pasta and risottos, and a good beer and wine list continue the culinary
buzz. Maybe linger for cocktails and an Indian Ocean sunset.
