Cafe Guilty Pleasure is our favourite Korean dessert cafe in Perth. Both stores have the same expansive menu and cute interior. If you're looking for a post dinner dessert place - or somewhere to hang out with friends until 10 or 11 pm (Friday and Saturday), this is it.

Cafe Guilty Pleasure
A Korean dessert cafe with cute and dainty interiors, serving up some of Perth’s best croffle, bingsu and cakes that aren’t too sweet.

📍 113 Aberdeen St, Northbridge WA 6003

A hidden gem which is our favourite modern Japanese restaurant in Perth. One of their dishes was made our top 8 dishes in 2019 and remains a favourite to this day. It's owned and operated by an ex-Nobu chef, so if you like Nobu, you'll love this.

Kukan Izakaya
Our favourite modern Japanese restaurant in Perth which punches way above its weight class.
