Perth’s Top 50 Restaurants: A Guide for Delhi Foodies

New Delhi — Ever found yourself daydreaming while stuck in traffic on Ring Road, wondering how far one needs to go for a real escape? Well, Perth might not be on your weekend list, but if your inner foodie is always on the lookout, the western Australian city just dropped something worth your attention. “Perth is OK!” has released the 50 best restaurants to eat and drink your way through the city in 2026. So while we’re chilling with our jalebis in Paharganj and plotting our next Gurgaon date night, it’s the right moment to ask: what could a city like Delhi learn from Perth’s restaurant scene?

Perth’s culinary roll call: Why this list is worth bookmarking

Think of this less like a Tripadvisor scroll and more like your curated list from an insider who actually gets what diversity on a plate tastes like. The 50 best restaurants in Perth list dives deep into local gems—from specialty seafood joints to stories-about-the-chef level fine dining. There’s even a focus on local-sustainability-first eateries that source from nearby farms and fishers. Imagine if places like Majnu Ka Tila’s momos had a green certification next to them. These restaurants aren’t just food stops, they’re mini narratives of Perth’s evolving identity. So what’s in it for us in Dilli? Our own food culture is vibrant, but often reminds one of quantity-over-quality. Perth’s listings suggest a shift toward taste driven by thoughtful sourcing and community relevance. Should Pandara Road evolve past butter chicken and hangover parathas?

How this changes the dining lens for Delhiites

At the ground level, this list is already getting attention from NRIs and Delhi-based food bloggers who crave global flavors at GK 2 cafés or during Hauz Khas Village weekends. “You can actually plan your Perth trip around food now, just like people do for Bangkok or Istanbul,” says a restaurateur near SDA Market who’s recently collaborated with an Aussie chef for a pop-up event. Students from DU eyeing semester abroad options say they’re marking restaurants for weekend shifts while interning in Australia. Meanwhile, families in Noida planning mid-2026 vacations are pairing wildlife tours with food-hop itineraries. Some innovative folks in Gurgaon’s corporate corridor are even using this list for teambuilding ideas: virtual taste tests and menu recreations at client dinners. It’s no longer just about where you eat—it’s how that meal fits into your story.

Delhi déjà vu: Local food revolutions we’ve lived

Delhi isn’t new to restaurant revolutions. Remember when Khan Market moved from stationery shops to truffle fries and burrata? Or when GTB Nagar blew up with affordable Korean diners around 2018? We’ve had our own food explosions—just less coordinated. Before cloud kitchens became the norm, old-school eateries like Karol Bagh’s Roshan Di Kulfi had already been serving seasonal specials with cult followings for decades. But what sets Perth’s current vibe apart is the framing: this is about long-term food memory, not just trends. Even five years ago, Delhi-based chefs like the ones behind Bukhara or Indian Accent were evangelizing sourcing and storytelling, but things often revert to Insta-friendly, chef-less menus. Perth’s list reminds us to slow down and maybe give the guy at your neighborhood café a longer look. Like, what’s his idea of seasonal?

How to start your own Perth-inspired food trail in Delhi

Scan menus at your favorite spots in Champa Gali or Sector 29 in Gurgaon—look for sourcing details or chef-led specials and ask more questions.
If a Perth trip is on the cards for 2026, start saving most-searched restaurants from this list on Google Maps and look for any with sister locations in India or Southeast Asia.
Create your own “Perth Playlist” and host monthly Perth-inspired potlucks or rooftop dinners with friends—one person handles seafood, someone else studies wine pairings.

📍 Spot Check: Hungry Monkey in Safdarjung, Rooh near Qutub Minar, and the newly opened “Little Perth” café in Noida’s Logix City Center all tie into this idea of curated storytelling through dining. Also, Green Park Metro to Malviya Nagar has a solid spread of experimental fusion spots worth testing the concept on.

The Final Word

Whether you’re planning a trip abroad or not, Perth’s list is a reminder Delhi needs to upgrade where it matters: depth, not just dazzle. We’ve got flavors in every gully, but maybe now it’s time to think about the narrative behind the naan or the memory etched into a malai tikka. Imagine a “Top 50 Places to Eat in Delhi” list that included street vendors near Chandni Chowk and chef-owned lab-style kitchens in Vasant Kunj. The appetite is there; are we hungry enough for meaning?
