10 Tips For Choosing a Perfect Restaurant For Lunch & Dinner

What’s on your plate? 

 Food should not just be a “meal”; it must be an immersive experience that will tantalise your palate and make your stomach smile (or, should I say, your heart). But when you are picky about restaurants, finding a good place to dine in can take time and effort. Some restaurants in Perth city offer freshly baked goods (like bread, croissants, etc.) with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and artisanal butter; some provide excellent desserts, while others have good wine pairings. You see, choices are infinite. To rescue you from falling into a loop of options, here’s an expert guide on choosing a good Perth restaurant based on specific criteria. You can follow these tips when dining out with your lover, friends, and families to ensure you pick the right place to eat according to the occasion. 

Food enthusiasts, watch out! 

 Before deciding where to dine in, try including these essential tips in your research to get the best choices among Perth restaurants. Come, let’s go through the list. 

  1. Restaurant reviews are a must: – Some excellent food magazines in Australia can help you find the finest Perth cafes and restaurants with their detailed reviews. Magazines like Gourmet Traveller, Delicious, Gram, Eativity, etc., have a list of all newly opened restaurants for vegans to meat-eaters, and their restaurant reviews are always on point, with pros and cons listed separately. But, if you are not a reading person, try following online reviews of restaurants by food gurus (aka food bloggers) to get a brief idea about where to eat and where to not eat. 
  1. Both seasonal and exotic menus: – Restaurants that don’t have a fixed menu usually taste better since using local produce is their sole aim. When the menu changes according to the season, there’s a high chance that the food served is fresh and authentic. Fraser’s restaurant is one example of a “produce-driven menu” that provides freshly prepared dishes with lots of love. And you know, “a dish served with love is a dish that smitten”. Also, if you are a lover of exotic foods, then a restaurant with both seasonal and exotic menus can serve you the utmost. 
  1. A critical collection of wine: – Dining in with your lover and friends does call for an excellent wine pairing with your food. Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot noir are the best if you are a meat lover. Whereas vegetarian and spicy foods call for an excellent Zinfandel or German Riesling. Or, if you want to try out local Western Australian cuisines, pair it with a bottle of Shiraz. Hence, every well-to-do restaurant must have a specially curated collection of wines. 
  1. Hygiene standards: – With good food, good hygiene is equally important. To judge a restaurant’s hygiene standards, look at the cleanliness of its washroom. If it is clean, you can expect pretty high hygiene standards in that restaurant. 
  1. Staff service: – A restaurant’s connectivity highly depends on the servers’ work. When a waiter/waitress attends to the guest, their behaviour stands out and makes the guests feel comfortable and relaxed, making them order even more. That is why a good restaurant must always have polite and helpful staff to attract a swarm of customers.  
  1. Waiting time: – The time required in food preparation varies from dish to dish. But some restaurants take relatively longer to prepare simple foods like soups, salads, fritters, etc. So, if you plan to dine out, always avoid restaurants with prolonged service. 
  1. Location: – Before selecting a place to dine in, ensure that the area is closer to your home. If you are hungry, choosing a site closer to your locality is advised because travelling and dodging traffic requires a lot of time. 
  1. Pocket-pinch: – The quality of food is directly proportional to its cost. As good quality dishes require fresh and authentic ingredients. But spending a fortune when you dine in is not recommended at all. Moreover, enjoying good quality food should never feel like breaking your bank FDs. 
  1. Ambience: – Though I don’t prefer restaurant decorations, an aesthetic look can be pleasing to your eyes while enjoying food. Pastel hues for the walls and fresh flowers on the table are something I always prefer. Heavily decorated restaurants may set a good ambience but often fail to provide good food to their customers. 
  1. Parking space: Having a parking space in a restaurant is like a lifesaver. Though it may seem irrelevant compared to the restaurant’s food quality, people often try to dine in places with a dedicated parking space. 

 So, where to dine out? 

 If you find these tips mentioned above useful, start exploring today and make a list of the pros and cons of different restaurants. But if you still need clarification, here’s an exciting suggestion.

They can also accommodate client meetings on their private terrace, along with delicious food and wine. With a unique seasonal menu, they offer food choices for vegans to meat lovers.

So, if you plan to dine out, visit Fraser’s restaurant in King’s Park Perth to enjoy delicious lunch or dinner along with a good ambience in a pocket pinch.
