Restaurant in Perth WA 6000, Australia
Wildflower Perth
Rooftop restaurant celebrating Western Australia's six seasons with indigenous ingredients. Stunning city views and inventive native-inspired cuisine.
Wildflower sits atop the State Buildings in Perth's CBD, a rooftop fine dining restaurant that uses Western Australia's six traditional Noongar seasons as the organising framework for its menu design and ingredient sourcing. Opened in 2015 within the COMO The Treasury hotel, the restaurant occupies an elevated position looking across the city and towards the Swan River, with a dining room of warm timber, sandstone, and natural materials evoking the WA landscape. The kitchen team works closely with WA farmers, foragers, and growers to source ingredients that shift with the seasonal calendar: marron (Western Australian freshwater crayfish) during the hot summer season of Birak, quandong and wattle in the cool of Djilba, saltbush and coastal herbs through Kambarang. The six seasons tasting menu, priced at $165 per person, spans seven to nine courses and changes substantially every six to eight weeks, making return visits a meaningfully different culinary experience. Signature preparations have included marron with native finger lime, emu egg with wattleseed, and Shark Bay salt-crusted whole fish. The beverage programme features Western Australian wines exclusively by the bottle, curated by an in-house sommelier with depth across Margaret River, Great Southern, Swan Valley, and Pemberton producers. The room operates at a refined volume — conversation is comfortable, service is attentive without intrusion, and the open kitchen adds visible energy. A terrace looks out across Perth's illuminated CBD. Reservations are recommended at least two weeks in advance for weekend evenings; requesting a terrace table is advisable for the best views.
