Ottawa Foodies

Great restaurant in an old heritage building in downtown Perth. Small dining room with an open concept kitchen, also attached to an atrium pictured here. The Chef/Owner used to work at Clair de Lune, his influences can be seen in the daily specials. Last time I visited they had a pork tenderloin tempura served with berry compote on a bed of risotto - definitely not something you'd expect to find in a small town bar & grill.

It's the twist on the ordinary that really makes the dishes here: fries are hand cut frites, side salads absent of iceberg and with dressings made in-house, serving seasonal greens like fiddleheads and locally raised emu meat. You can see the attention to detail with presentation and can taste the fresh local ingredients. I'd recommend stopping by it if you're in the area.

They serve locally-raised emu here in burger form, an emu stroganoff, and pizza topped with emu meat.
