DETAILS

The cooking offers clarity, harmony, and some surprise, with influences that are authentic, imaginative, and traditional, to satisfy every imaginable sensibility.

Personal Statement

"Clyde Bevan appreciates art and extends that lovingly to every aspect of this excellent restaurant - the decor, the food and the wine.
The wine list is extensive, truly international and affordable as well as being vividly displayed right before diner's eyes in racks that are features and dividers of the room.
The river view, local art works and spectacular grass trees give Friends a uniquely Western Australian atmosphere."

- "All About Town" restaurant critic Stewart Van Raalte

"If you have a penchant for modern international cuisine - the most exciting, innovative, and above all flavoursome cuisine today - the best service you'll ever experience in Perth, Friends is the quintessential choice."
- The West Australian Newspaper

"It is so rare to experience fine dining in Perth that, when it happens, it wraps you in its plush arms and makes you feel like a princess... It's a pleasure to be surrounded by people who love their craft and want to share their best."
- You, Dining Out - Verity James
