Petition

Wonderful restaurant, I was trying to get a reservation for a few days during my stay in Perth. I was lucky to book a table at the last day of my trip. The food did not disappoint. My friend and I shared the roast chicken breast and pork tenderloin. Both dishes were nicely cooked and perfectly flavored. The meats were so tender we enjoyed both dishes very much. We also got desserts to conclude our night. I got the chocolate delice while my friend got the orange and raspberry cigar. Both were delicious as well. Overall, the food was excellent, even went above our expectation. The service was good, considering Petition was such a busy place at dinner time. Glad we tried it before leaving.

Overall, the venue itself was beautiful and the food was delicious. The triple cooked chips was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ceviche was, my favorite dish of the evening. However, I was a bit disappointed with the service, the team seemed more focused on their task than engaging with guests. I made several attempts to make eye contact or wave for assistance, but unfortunately, I was often overlooked. Hopefully this improves by my next visit.

Wow! Everybody we spoke to had such rave reviews about it that our expectations were very high. And it lived up to its reputation. Everything was top notch - the food, the wine, the friendly service, and the setting. We didn't know what to choose, so we went for the Feed Me option, and it was an excellent combination of dishes. We will definitely be back to try some of the other dishes.

Beautiful restaurant with absolutely amazing food. We had a late dinner at 9pm and they let us enjoy food and wine without feeling rushed despite closing at 10:30pm. Bread was served warm. Oysters were delicious and service was amazing. Portions were great too. Definitely coming back here again!

Better reserve in advance for this popular restaurant. Easier for getting lunch table than dinner. Great location in central downtown - Como. We like the beet salad and the others fave were the beef cheek and shrimps.

Best location, nice restaurant, service was great although they were quite busy, still looked after all the customers very well. My favorite food were oysters and scallops that were super fresh and sweet, my husband loved the duck leg.

Came back again after 2 years. This time for dinner. I wanted to do the set menu but minimum 2 people were required so I ended up ordering a la carte. Started with a glass of pinot blanc which was dry and refreshing. Amberjack ceviche was fresh and the accompanying salsa was great too. I don't usually order chicken for mains but I did this instance. Ordered chicken breast which was well seasoned and very moist. Well cooked in a sous vide I think and then grilled for a crispy skin. Eggplant purée was satisfying without filling you up and grilled asparagus and thinly shredded asparagus were all cooked perfectly. They were fully booked for dinner on a Thursday evening so I recommend booking!

Lunch today was incredible! Great quality of the service and especially of the food. Thanks to Chef Lorenzo we had the opportunity to have a great experience! I would recommend the place and I will definitely go back in the future!

Petition in Perth is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the stylish ambiance and friendly staff. The menu offers a delightful range of dishes that cater to various tastes. Whether you're a foodie or just looking for a great meal, Petition won't disappoint. The attention to detail in both food and service is outstanding. I especially loved the Feed me tasting menu. Pate - a big dollop that can feed 3-4. It was rich, creamy, and not too salty Eggplant - indescribable Salmon - out of this world Hummus - different but still incredible Duck - not too fatty and not too salty Carrot salad - Speechless Dessert - great way to end the meal The pairings of the dishes was absolutely amazing as the contrast of flavors was amazing. The portion was unexpected for a tasting menu. It's a fantastic place for a special night out or a casual meal with friends. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Petition is a casual, trendy bar/restaurant located housed in a historic brick building. I came here with coworkers for an early dinner. They have round tables that can fit 6 people easily. The chairs are like bar stools with some back support. The cocktails are solid here - the Flourish is a tart, refreshing drink that's perfect for a warm summer day. As for the food, mostly hits: * The grilled octopus was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. * Barramundi was the fish of the day and was slightly overcooked though flavors were good. I especially liked the couscous - very puffy and much larger than typical Israeli Couscous I'be had in the US. * Have your table order a side of chips - meaning thick-cut fries/potato wedges that are piping hot. * If you have room for dessert, the orange-raspberry cigar with pistachio is a winner. Sort of like a big piece of fruity baklava. An ideal place for a light, early dinner. The menu isn't all that big, but good variety for vegetarians and carnivores. Be sure to get a few apps to share, starters (slightly bigger than app), and a main to have a complete dinner.

Good quality food. Atmosphere a bit aloof. Service was fine. A bit over priced me thinks.

Located in a big historic building in downtown Perth, home to multiple restaurant concepts. The vibe is upscale but in a converted warehouse sense that it looks more minimalist in its finishes. We arrived for our early reservation, a combination of jet leg and towing kids along too, and were seated right away close to the open kitchen to see the action. The menu has some good looking tapas options of varying sizes - we shared the zucchini flower, fish of the day and chicken. The flavors were just OK, nothing particularly standout or memorable. I thought there would be more of a connection between this restaurant and the wine bar and craft beer hall in the same building, or more craft cocktails, but the options on drinks were fairly limited (more wines available by the bottle). There are two kid options - fish n chips and hamburger - decent options but I was surprised by the pricing ($22 and $18 respectively) and there was no option for a vegetable in either dish, only chips. Our server was friendly and attentive when there was an issue with a broken glass.

Nice place! I Stopped by for a late lunch. I had the lamb shank. It tasted amazing and the meat just pulled apart with a fork. The only thing that knocked them down from a 5 is the price of a few items on the menu.

Amazing food and cappuccino's! The staff are so nice. Highly recommend if you are in Perth!

While in Perth for two weeks, I tried many different places for breakfast and Petitioner remains the best (by a large distance). I love breakfast in Australia, they do a great job, and Petition has always been one of my favorites. On my first trip back post-Covid, I found the menu has changed a lot and was quite nervous. I ended up ordering their version of huevos rancheros, which were almost poached eggs battered. Tasted MUCH better than I just described, to the point on a second trip I could not justify trying something different. Still the best breakfast.

Nice to be home in Perth after living in Melbourne for 2 years. We had the king fish starter and pork belly mains. The potatoes sides were excellent. Service was friendly and prompt. I get the local produce theme, really worked well. Thank you for the great dinner.

Ok. So I know this place sports a few too many city suits and is popular with a pretentious crowd... but dammit it's actually good! This is my 4th visit and it's consistent. I've been at "happy hour" (there is no happy hour here), for dinner, for breakfast and now for lunch. I prefer this place for breakfast and lunch because there are no crowds and in spring/summer a nice little outdoor space. I wasn't able to order the chef's selection for lunch ($50pp) because I'm dining alone and was also advised to not order too much so had to limit myself and STILL ordered too much food. Photos tell what I ordered. Raw kingfish is very creamy. More homey and hearty than expected. Not actually a delicate dish. Potentially they were covering up a fresh fish with a frozen texture... but it worked and the heavy lemon cream is exciting anyway. Surprisingly this was too heavy for a Mt Barker Riesling. A classic Chardonnay probably would have worked best. Happily paired with a young Cab Franc. The tartar delights!! Heavy with cream but the shallots and sesame dance on the tongue. Thank God for Cabernet Franc. This dish is too heavy for a white. I probably should have ordered a peppery Pinot noir or Malbec... back to the sesame. Mmmmmmm Potato side is delicious. The lightest thing I ordered when I thought it would be the "hearty, homely" dish. Ha. The cumin is strong and encourages nice potatoes perfectly roasted to speak for themselves. Ok. Blah blah blah. This lunch stands out against Perth's backdrop of either cheap street food or overpriced bad food. Here you get what you pay for, and at this stage I'd rather pay in this city of mostly indelicate food.

My husband and I had lunch here on Wednesday around 1:30pm. We were visiting Perth, and we saw this restaurant in our research of places to eat. There were plenty of tables, and the waitress was very attentive. We ordered the chopped broccoli salad and the roasted brussels sprouts. We especially liked the chopped broccoli salad. Very hearty, and we felt that the portion was quite generous. The balance between the saltiness of feta cheese and savory seasoning was very good. The brussels sprouts were good, but nothing too special about the dish. The pricing overall was on the expensive end, but we recommend if you're looking for some quality lunch!

We only had breakfast, it was fine, met expectations for the location and price. I suspect the dinner experience is where this place shines , I'll have to come again another time for dinner.

3rd time here- mostly for brunch and a casual lunch. So far have been lucky with no reservation needed. Cafe does a decent flat white. Lunch deserves a leisurely go and definitely get the dessert. Half toast comes with 2 preserves. Opted for peanut butter (it was the healthy kind) and marmalade ( delicious). It was great to have Australian Financial Review to read instead of the Sunday Times. Good to chill at too; they played Daft Punk while I was there last.

Such a fantastic place to eat and share meals with friends. All the meals are meant to be shared so the bigger your group, the more dishes you can try. Service was prompt and waitress very knowledgeable on the different types of dishes. Atmosphere was lovely and not too loud. Chargrilled octopus was flavoursome with taramasalata. Tender and not chewy. Chopped broccoli salad was seasoned so well with a fantastic balance of texture from the toasted grains. How can something like broccoli salad sound so boring but be this good? Cauliflower with harissa and yoghurt was lovely, salmon in mushrooms cooked to perfection (almost like it was cooked sous vide) and beef tenderloin was tender with the fermented chilli vinegar just cutting through the meat. Fantastic meal!

This place pretty much ranks the top of the Yelp listings for basically best everything, or at least best pub, best beer bar, and best craft beer bar. Actually, it is much more than just a bar as I discovered upon entering here, it is pretty much a bit of everything (exception for maybe a laundromat - you can't come here to wash your clothes). It was the beer bar that caught my attention, and as a craft beer bar it is literally second to none - they have a huge range here, as well as guests and promotions. It reminds me of the true craft beer bars back in Melbourne. Mind you, it does get a little crowded, and it is pretty flashy, but it is definitely worth checking out.

Came for a third time this month. The service was not as great as it had been in my last two visits, and it was unusually busy for a Monday night. Took us ages to get a waitress to take our order, and even longer for the food to be made. This time we tried the beef shin, which was just glorious! Massive in portion but absolutely fabulous in flavour, if you have not tried it, do it! The summer corn dish was also delicious, creamy polenta with a fiery kick to it! The roasted mushrooms I did not care much for, but the duck liver parfait is still perfect. The desserts were really disappointing though, the chocolate and peppermint dish literally tasted like you brushing your teeth after eating chocolate before bed, the figs and Marsala cream dish was just weird?! It looked bad and tasted strange. The burnt meringue and shiso ice cream was mediocre, and the flavours falling apart. The only good dish out of the four options was the burnt butter parfait, and even that was slightly too sweet for my taste. So all in all, still feeling it for this place, but man, you need to kick up a notch with your dessert options!

Had an amazing breakfast here recently with a client I was interviewing whilst writing his story. It was so delicious, great gluten free options and the coffee was amazing.

I've been to both Petition Beer Corner and Petition Kitchen for breakfast, so will review them separately. Petition Beer Corner is a great big space, with that industrial feel decor and probably the best selection of beer on tap. Upon approaching the bar, I asked for a recommendation, which the staff was unable to provide me with as they told me they changed the kegs every few days and there are 18 taps! He did try help the best he could. There is definitely a wide selection of beers on tap, and also another counter, where you can peruse the beer fridge for other beers to try and take home with you. The only downside to this bar would have to be the price of some of the beers, with some ranging to $20 for not even a pint, but thats what you get for such good beer and an obscure collection. For Petition Kitchen, I came here for breakfast recently with some friends. It was in the Christmas / New Year period so I think they were busier than expected but the service was great. I ordered a flat white, which was a little too strong for my liking but still good and had the Chorizo, Fried Egg and Hash for breakfast. It was so good! Serving size was about right and the prices were pretty decent of a Perth cafe too. Will definitely have to come back and check out for lunch and dinner.

We were seated on a table for two and I chose to sit on the good comfy sofa. The spacing between tables was quite small and sitting on the inside part wasn't a good idea if you needed to go out a lot, especially when there was another person sitting next to you. I can imagine that this could be a negative to some people who would prefer a bit more privacy as it was easy to listen in to other people's conversations. However we did notice that some patrons didn't mind engaging in some light conversation with others next to them. The Fremantle octopus was a perfect choice for entrée especially with the chewiness and freshness of it. The leaves that came with the dish had a crunchiness to it too. We also ordered the stracciatella roast mushrooms, watercress and potato and this turned out to be our favourite meal of the night. Hubby wasn't even a big fan of mushrooms but this dish turned him around and if allowed he'd order another portion of it! We left nothing on the plate and was really happy with this dish, highly recommend. Last dish for our evening was the warm lemon leaf rice pudding. The creamy texture was really good but we only took a few spoonfuls before we stopped. The strawberry sauce tasted really good with the rice pudding and delivered sour flavour into it, but the whole thing tasted too musky. We were quite fortunate to make a friend with a solo diner, Laki, who sat next to us. Our chopped broccoli was served with puffed grains, walnut and sheep's feta, and the dish came together with our lamb. The succulent medium rare lamb was perfectly cooked in pink and served on a bed of chermoula. The lamb was tasty but we would preferred more of chermoula. This dish was still enjoyable and well presented. I sprinkled the chopped broccoli on top of my lamb and it was so delicious. Laki offered me a try on his huge beef shin and a glass (or two) of his Clos du Tue-Boeuf Cheverny Rouillon wine. The beef with tarragon sauce was put along the bone that had also retained creamy bone marrow.

Popped in here tonight after the Yelp Botanical Balcony Party for a bite (and possibly to stop at the wine bar for more Prosecco!!) Only spot available was at the kitchen bar which we were more than happy to sit at as we watched the food be prepared. Wouldn't be a good spot for more than 2 people and we were right at the service area but it worked for us. We were a little slow in getting our order taken and our wine arriving but it was worth the wait. The recommended grenache rose was delicious as were the dishes we had. We only had some of the small plates (tartare, kingfish, octopus & mushrooms) all of which were delicious but will definitely be back to try the other dishes we watched get prepared! (I'd say bring about 3 friends to try the beef !) Can't wait to come again!

We went to Petition for dinner with a couple of colleagues, because of this I didn't take many photos. We had the liver parfait with pickled rhubarb, octopus, broccoli and fish of the day, pearl perch with salad. All the dishes were tasty but very small, even for tapas. For example the octopus was 1 tentacle sliced into 10 pieces. I ordered a chocolate dessert but it didn't arrive. After about 20 minutes we asked about it and we were told that it had been sent to another table. We were asked if we wanted to cancel it and we did because others on the table had finished their dessert - Montenegros. Our bill came to $290+ but we were not full. Our waiter was really lovely and friendly and the food was good but I won't be rushing back.

New addition in Perth City. Having stopped here for a refreshing bite to hide from the atrocious heat during after Christmas sales in the city, Susan and I gave some of the lunch menu a try. For drinks we went with a Mojito and a iced coffee. Both were exceptional in flavour and very refreshing given the weather. We did note however there was quite a lot of ice in Susan's mojito. As we only needed a small bite to eat we went with the duck liver parfait, and a mushroom dish from the "small" part of the menu. Both dishes were excellent and definitely delivered on flavour. Pricing is at a premium here however service, quality and presentation of food are also.

Located in the historic State Buildings that once again shines brightly on the corner of Barrack St and St Georges Terrace thanks to some careful restoration work, Petition is a gorgeous new venue that is comprised of three parts, each with their own character - wine bar, kitchen and beer corner. This review is about Petition Kitchen, and more specifically breakfast. I've been there twice for breakfast now, and been very impressed by the food both times. The menu is not your stock standard breakfast fare - with interesting options like watermelon salad with strawberry, pomegranate and labneh and pikelets with grilled peach, blackberry, ricotta and burnt honey there is loads of fun stuff to sink your teeth into here. On my first visit I played it a bit safe and tried the florentine eggs (slow cooked), with hollandaise, grilled asparagus and warrigal greens (a type of spinach). I also got some bacon on the side because, well, bacon. This was before the World Health Organisation came out and said it's bad with a capital B, but I stand by my decision. I have a special place in my heart for slow cooked eggs, and these ones certainly didn't disappoint and that thick cut bacon was devilishly delish. The second time I had the grilled peach pikelets - I thought the dish was a bit on the small side, but I suppose I should have figured it would be so when I ordered pikelets! The dish packed a mighty big punch thanks to the flavours on the plate - that perfect combination of sweet and tart that gets your tastebuds tingling! On this occasion, one of my friends ordered the egg white omelette with kale pesto, pinenut and sheeps feta which was also one seriously good looking dish. I was also very impressed by the friendly staff, and the complementary sparkling water! I think next time I visit the building it will be to try one of the many craft beers on offer in the beer corner.

Sexy, sophisticated, Melbourne-ish; all this and much more is the wonderful Petition Kitchen in Perth's revamped and renovated State Buildings complex, alongside Cathedral Square. The restaurant is but one part of the whole building, and what an amazing building it is. An eight-year-long restoration project has seen this unloved old state govt building, transform into a cosmopolitan centre, housing a six star hotel, a beer and wine bar, several bespoke retail stores, and several stylish restaurants. Petition Kitchen was the setting for dinner with a few friends, and we were instantly impressed by the generous layout, the rustic floorboards, and the sheer enthusiasm of the wait staff. I was even further impressed when our jugs of chilled sparkling water were topped up during the evening - for free. I don't of any other place on this planet that serves free sparkling water, but as I am addicted to the stuff, this dinner was on a train ride to the Elysium Fields. The menu - it's short but it's intriguing and interesting and has dishes that just make you want to order them for the sheer hell of it. We opted for several share plates and would have fit in several more if it were possible. For me there were three standout dishes: the raw kingfish with beetroot, the duck liver parfait with grilled bread, and the chopped broccoli with puffed grains, sheep's feta and walnuts. Oh my. How does a simple broccoli salad become so brilliantly crunchy, salty, creamy and damned delicious? I eat truckloads of the little green trees and they never tasted like this. The dish of raw kingfish looked mighty purdy, and it tasted mighty good too. The waferish slices of fish were hunkered down amongst purple-red beetroot bites and whispy green beetroot leaves. A hint of horseradish and a zesty ginger vinaigrette added punch to this light and colourful concoction. I did not want to share. I wanted to take that plate and sit in the corner, savouring every forkful and not sharing a smidgeon with anyone. It's OK to be selfish, right? When something is that good and you just want it for yourself? The duck liver parfait - another culinary revelation. I've long loved the version offered by Cantina 663, but this was another contender for the best duck liver parfait in Perth award. It's hard to pick a winner out of these two as both are bloody amazing, yet both are different. This one was less dense, creamier, served with thick fingers of grilled bread, and worth fighting over when there was just enough left on the plate for one more bite. OK, I may have been a little selfish again.... Our remaining two dishes were less memorable. Forget the baby qukes and carrot with onion creme - a waste of tummy space in my opinion with far more interesting options up for grabs. Yes they were OK - but they're plain, unadorned carrots and cucumbers. Ergo, they are bog standard veggies and are not going to win any kitchen awards. Ditch the mundane and go for the innovative. The roasted mushroom dish looked so beautiful and promising with its trendy warrigal greens, salted ricotta and potato, but it didn't compare to my fave three dishes. I love mushrooms on any given day, and these mushrooms were absolutely fine; they just didn't wow me the way the other dishes did. I loved my experience at Petition Kitchen. It is my new favourite place in Perth. I might well return to get me some broccoli salad and some kingfish, and there is no way I am going to share. And I just might squeeze in a dessert; they looked mighty tempting too, but sometimes one has to just abide by what the gut says. "Nope, can't fit any more in there". Next time.....there's a burnt meringue with my name on it :)

We popped in for lunch on Monday this week and the place was packed - we managed to squeeze into one of the very few tables vacant - maybe it was euphoria over the election result but it certainly demonstrated the popularity of the Kitchen; part of the State Buildings complex it runs down the side of the building looking onto Barrack Street. The small by the glass wine list contains some interesting and very good wines - we kicked off while we checked out the menu with a glass of Dal Zotto prosecco for Lady FWO and one of Helen Riesling for me. The prosecco from King Valley has a bouquet reminiscent of pears and citrus blossom while the fine, acidic palate is full of crunchy green apple flavours - great aperitif. The Riesling, from the Burch Family range, has lifted aromas of lemons, with a delightfully long finishing palate full of lime and minerally notes. As for the food - a shared dish from the Comestibles section, then on to a couple from the Meat and Fish selection along with a side of butter beans. Our shared plate - farro which had been cooked with burnt pumpkin giving everything a burnished orange golden glow - the pumpkin adding a honeyed note to the firm, nutty grain; cubes of creamy, slippery silken tofu were scattered throughout, while the flavours were pimped up by slivers of pickled ginger with its aromatic zing. Crisply skinned, succulent and moist Gold band snapper was served sitting in a puddle of sofrito sauce - mildly spiced, garlicky and tomato based - a few smoked mussels swimming alongside, a scatter of cod roe - salty and popping - and a scatter of peppery watercress. Excellent flavour and textural combo. A couple of chunks of tender and juicy baked chicken breast, crisp skin, came with salt baked celeriac - delicate celery notes - and some bitter tones from the accompanying witlof. A little well-seasoned jus provided another flavour dimension. Our butter beans came with sauce gribeche - creamy and eggy, garlicky and salty from chopped capers - with a few crisply fried curry leaves strewn across the firm, fresh beans. Simple and very well done. Once again we came away from the Kitchen full of praise for the standard of the food and service. It is a top spot and certainly recommended.

Petition really needs three entries in Yelp as each of the venues is so different! This review is based purely on the Kitchen Bar; firstly the venue is delightful they have an interesting blend of the old highlighted with drops of new; the staff are well trained and knowledgable though that can come across a little forced while they are new in time I expect this to be more natural. The menu is amazingly well thought out; dishes that are both familiar and yet made very distinctly; never quite what you expect, but you can taste the quality of the ingredients - made my way through half the menu and looking forward to completing the journey. If you into beef I highly recommend trying the steak tartare!!!

Overly priced breakfast menu We tried the Petition Kitchen last Saturday morning after all the hype of their opening and photos of food start popping up on instagram. The sitting layout was too close and squishy for me, no privacy what so ever. The breakfast menu sounded elegant and pleasing but I was utterly shocked at the size of the dishes when they came out. The dishes were simple and did not compliment the price tag that came with it and to make matters worse, our meals came before our coffees. The bacon that came with my chorizo was the highlight of my dish, it was a decent cut, not too salty and packed with flavors not like your everyday bacon that you get from your supermarket. The chorizo was pretty average though, would be better with perhaps some acidity on the plate. I wasn't taken away by their dishes but will be back to try their lunch/dinner menu. Hopefully their serving size improves! (might be wishfully thinking here)

We had the pork head croquettes, clams & fried dough sticks, pate and non alcoholic drinks. The ambience was unfinished building renovations. Open kitchen. Food was good for drinks. Nice work shop feel.

Nice place to catch up with friends and you can book online in advance. Has a chilled feel about it and I personally love the interior. They provide free sparkling and still water on arrival. The menu was a great assortment of dishes to choose from but would not recommend it for people who are looking for big servings. Loved the flavours and the plating of the dishes. Great place for a client lunch. Will definitely be going for another visit soon

I'm having the beef tartare with harissa today. Absolutely exquisite flavours, playing music on my taste buds and jingles on my palate. The harissa has been crisped like a thin biscuit and placed on top of the beef. Do yourself a "flavour" and visit this place. This is my third visit here. I just keep coming back for more. At the moment this is my favourite eating place in Perth CBD! A crisp glass of Pinot Grigio by The Spring seed wine company, "poppy". Quite fruity when first taste then dry on the finish. A last and important note; they offer sparkling or still filtered water complimentary, which adds to the reason why I visit here. The staff are professional and know their stuff here. Bon appetite

Funky restaurant bar in the middle of the city. Food is good in a funky location.. to see and be seen.

Considering the price of meals we expected absolutely amazing food. Instead we got an egg white omelette that resembled a fried egg without the yolk (ie not fluffy), and a shakshouka that was watery and tasteless. Even a simple tea and coffee were $1 more than the Perth norm.

Sensational food and coffee! Set in the renovated historical mid nineteenth century States Buildings on Barrack st, this is a place to visit when in the city. Oh and there is free wifi available

LOVED dining at Petition! I have eaten a lot of 'pretty' food in Perth made for instagram (ie a sprinkling of edible flowers on everything) but apart from Restaurant Amuse this is the only time I have had food with depth to the flavours in Perth. The trout was smoked and torched similar to Japanese style and was a flavour explosion. The chorizo was perfect and the hash was like a giant up-market hashbrown full of flavour (it's the blood sausage). The pikelets were delicate in size and flavour and nice to have a savoury sweet option. The price point was also good value considering the quality of food, venue and location. I just wish the meals came with a bit more sides. The restaurant is centrally located in the city and in the beautiful Treasury building and in the same building as Post, the new Como hotel and soon to open Long Chim and Wildflower. The service is attentive, friendly and helpful. Our waitress didn't seem like a morning person, but Helen saved the day and picked up the slack. I can't wait for the other Como venues to open, Perth needs more solid dining experiences like this! TIPS: - They offer complimentary still / sparkling filtered water. Waitress never mentioned or explained it but it's in fine print on the menu. - Make sure you check out the bar next door and the building. It's stunning! https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowUserReviews-g255103-d8702393-r324289411-Petition-Perth_Greater_Perth_Western_Australia.html#

Food - 4/5 - Delicious. The grilled chorizo dish was slightly saltier than I would've liked. Service - 3.5/5 - Staff were a bit distracted this time but still professional, polite and friendly-ish Atmosphere/Decor - 4/5 - Nice atmosphere and love rustic décor Value for money - 4/5 - For around $25 per person for lunch at a restaurant located inside the world's second best hotel, worth it. Serving size may be considered small for some. Child friendliness - 3.5/5 - I think being within a hotel, they need to cater for hotel guests bringing kids so it is definitely child friendly with highchairs available (did I mention they're Stokke highchairs? Ha!), lots of room for pram manuveuring/parking and the staff both times have stopped to say hi and chat with Evie. OVERALL RATING - 4/5 - I'll definitely be back again as I really want to try their dinner menu Visit my blog http://www.thecafemum.com/single-post/2016/10/25/Petition-Kitchen for full review

Keen for breakfast and desperate for coffee, nothing on Hay St Mall was immediately catching my eye. Reaching the end of the mall, I spied people drinking their morning beverages in Petition Kitchen's outdoor seating and thought it warranted a second look. The witty quote on the chalkboard enticed me in and I'm glad it did. The best way I can think of to describe the offerings is the kind of elaborate breakfast meals you could make at home but never do. I ordered the simple toast meal with a side of slab bacon and each element, albeit simple, was of the highest quality. I will admit to some pikelet envy as I saw them go past to a neighboring table. My latte was deliciously mellow; I may have even messaged a friend to say I was going to marry it (the latte, not the barista). Service was friendly without being overly involved and I am a big fan of paying at table, a service which Petition Kitchen offers. The waitress encouraged me to linger if I wanted and on another day, I might have. I will definitely visit again.

It is funky, new, and very very popular. Perth is trying to shake its Dullsville logo and it is nice to find that there are places open in the CBD after office hours nowadays! Menu is kept seasonal and relatively short, a choice of five starters, mains, sides, etc. quality of the food was excellent, ingredients fresh and great tastes. Portions were just right, not over facing us. We had the pork and the chicken main courses, with a side of potatoes. The rhubarb & pear crumble dessert was the best I have had for a while. Coming from interstate I found that a dinner for two (two mains, shared dessert and three glasses of house white) was a bit steep at $135.

I love love love this place! I first visited a month or so ago when visiting Perth and I've since been back 3 or more times with my husband. The food in Petition Kitchen is absolutely amazing and we plan on continuing to go back until we've tried everything on the menu. Petition has a really cool vibe and is broken up into several areas, though you can wander through the whole place, sit anywhere and order from anywhere. There's a Beer Corner, Wine Bar and Petition Kitchen. The Beer Corner is fantastic - there are lots of different beers on tap, and a couple of ciders as well; the benefit of having beers on tap also being the ability to try a beer (or wine) before committing to ordering a glass; and also being able to order different sizes of beers. The wine bar has an amazing selection of wines to try by the glass if you want to just sit around and enjoy a glass. But is also has an amazing array of bottles of wine to purchase and take home. I haven't had the chance to spend much time in this area, but I think that will need to change. Then there's Petition Kitchen, which is just fantastic (as I mentioned earlier). Each of the different sections have their own food menu, beer and wine lists. However, we have often ordered our drinks from the Beer corner whilst enjoying lunch/dinner at Petition Kitchen (and whilst the waiters are happy for you to order from the Beer Corner beer menu, we prefer to head over to order ourselves and chat with the bar staff). Overall - if you haven't visited Petition yet, I highly recommend that you do!

The location is nice, food and wine are basically good. For this i can suggest this restaurant. But later on the service was very bad. I had to order my desert 3 times before i got it. I have no idea what it was. It tasted terrible. Not sure if it had something to do with what i ordered. I guess the guys in the kitchen mixed something up quick and dirty because they wanted to go home

BEER! Is there anything you can't do? Petition is the new kid on the Perth block, being only a few months old. Interestingly, more than one local had used the word 'fancy' to describe it to me, so you can imagine my surprise when I discovered it was practically a beer bar! BEER AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. Being a die-hard Moondog fan I went with a pint of their Imperial Redskin Stout (which tastes exactly like you think) while my brother went for a local WA craft beer. This is a pretty cool place to catch up on your craft beer however the atmos definitely needs a bit of work. We went in late on a Saturday night and were still easily able to find a table. The feeling is a little sterile however the lighting and chalkboard beer menu above the bar is certainly trying to make the mood a little more comfortable. The blindingly bright and oversized TV playing the cricket definitely seemed out of place.

Petition is a great addition to the city. Amazing interior, like a cross between shabby chic and warehouse, I feel like I could just sit in there all day. I have the picklets and they were tasty, but some extra sauce wouldn't go astray. The coffee was yummy and they didn't charge me extra for soy which is awesome!! It would be really nice to see some vegan options on the menu, but there was a good range of regular meals. I've heard this place is good for drinks and I'm keen to come back and give it another try !

In my opinion, overrated. Service was not exceptional but mediocre at best, same with the food. Price was too much for what we got. I would come back though, but a bit more cautious, I had really high expectations.

Petition Kitchen - Oh dear. If I have to choose between my other oft-stated favourite place in town (starts with a B, ends with a C and has ivoua in between) I might not be able to. This place was a real treat when I visited with two Yelper mates last night. From the very sexy industrial fit out, through to the sound system, the service and the divine food, this place has started out on an high. We shared four plates and one bottle of wine, whilst sipping on the bottomless complimentary still or sparkling water on offer. All up, that lot came to about $140. Outstanding value, considering the customer was awarded the full suite of what I believe constitutes excellent service: quality in all aspects (service, presentation, portion size, decor, comfort, variety and flavour). I couldn't really fault it, but I will admit to disappointment when our initial hottie Italian waiter disappeared to tackle another larger table and we got a [very nice] lass instead. The whole experience had us wanting more (not just the perve factor) and deciding to check out the beer hall and wine bar to kick on. Petition Beer Hall - Wowsers, what an interesting place! From the exposed piping, the extraordinary varieties of beverages on offer to the broad expanse of space and the friendly and welcoming staff, we only stopped in to poke around and check it out, but will return to experience it later on. Petition Wine Bar - Well, here's where we were disappointed. In a noticeable difference, the service here let the whole business down in our experience of the night. But I'm not going to mark down, because the purpose of our visit - the Kitchen - was excellent. We decided to loiter with intent and continue our night out by sharing another bottle of wine, something different, in the Wine Bar. And perhaps we would consider some cheese or dessert, if available. We weren't greeted as enthusiastically as we were at the other two areas. We ordered a bottle and were poured a glass each, then studiously ignored until any residual in our glasses had long evaporated. We had to beckon for service and by that time, there were only two other occupied tables to at least four staff, who were busy mucking about, dancing to the music and generally ignoring the customers. There had been some confusion with our order and the process. Apparently the wines on the list can only be purchased by the glass and if you wish to order a bottle, you have to go through the vast selection from the shelves and pick it out yourself. I think. I liken it to flicking through the CD's on special at JB Hi-Fi. You lose interest after the first row, unless you know what you are looking for. We had a discussion and offered a suggestion to add the bottle price on the menu for all those they have listed. Suggestion accepted graciously. A bit of a kerfuffle that was awkward for us about the bottle versus glass situation, although in the end, we were given the remainder of a bottle, after they had scientifically dispensed our equivalent three glasses worth from a new bottle (and overly-explained the process to us, ad nauseum). Don't care. Just give me more wine. Overall, the experience of checking out the three Petition venues was very positive and I feel that the new Cathedral District is really going to inject some serious competition to nearby venues (including the Brookfield Place district). I understand the Kitchen is operating for dinner on a booking-only policy initially. I highly recommend booking and experiencing the Kitchen with some friends, so you can order a larger variety of dishes and really enjoy the offerings. In saying that, I feel that solo diners would also enjoy the venue as some of the plates are small, to promote both sharing and variety. I would not hesitate to dine there alone.

My husband and I had a stay-cation date in the city, so when we woke up after a night of eating and drinking, we needed sustenance, and we needed it to be good! A short stroll from our hotel on Mill Street, we knew we wanted to eat at either Petition Kitchen or Post. Checking out both venues, we chose Petition. Post's menu looked fabulous, but at almost 9am, there was only one other table being occupied. We had hoped for a little more atmosphere. There were more tables at Petition being used, but the venue is long and thin so it still felt quite sparsely populated, but definitely the more 'happening' of the two spots. The fit-out at petition is exposed brick and wood and leather. Not too sparse, but not overworked. The large expanse of windows bring a natural light and brightness, giving the space a clean loft-apartment vibe. I really like the balloon light fittings too. Upon sitting we were given sparkling or still water - free. And our coffee orders were taken and delivered while we perused the menu. I ordered a flat white, which was what the morning after a 3:30am bedtime needed, Lance got a freshly squeezed orange juice that was tartly refreshing. We then ordered. Sardines and tomato on toast for me, torched trout, pea and slow egg for Lance and a watermelon, strawberry and labneh salad to share. Oh, and a fresh grapefruit juice, because the orange was so good. It took a little while for the food to arrive, but it was worth the wait when it did. My sardines were a salty delight. Oily and fishy and balanced by the tomato and zucchini and a lemon sauce. Lance's torched trout was also delightful. The peas and fish all fresh and bright, the rye hidden underneath it provided a sweet nuttiness to the situation. And the watermelon salad was actually a surprise healthy dessert for breakfast. Lance assumed it was a sweet dish, but having had a strawberry and haloumi savoury salad the Friday before, I had assumed it would be savoury. Either way, it was a refreshing way to finish the breakfast. The vanilla labneh was much more greek yoghurt than labneh, but it's silky creaminess was welcome. The fruit all tasting like the fruit it was supposed to be, juicy and nicely chilled. Fresh mint topped the whole thing off like the usual watermelon salads at our summer BBQs. Given the quality of our breakfast dishes, I've definitely popped it on the spot to try as a dinner venue. The only small issue I have with all of the Petition venues is that as far as I can tell, there's only one female and one male toilet being shared by the three venues at present. There is a sign saying more toilets are coming but I wouldn't want to be at Beer Corner and suddenly need to pee until this is rectified!

Petition is one of the first food ventures at Cathedral Square, with its home at the State Buildings. There's three spaces; the beer corner, the wine bar and merchant and the bistro, Petition kitchen. Elwyn and I have heard so much about Petition kitchen and was excited to give it a try on a Friday evening. When we arrived, the restaurant was not too busy as we were there early in the evening hoping to catch some natural lighting before it gets dark. It's a lovely set up and I adore the atmosphere and ambience of Petition. It's light and airy and the interior, simple and modernistic with an open kitchen to watch the live action. To start off, we had the roasted mushrooms, beancurd, warrigal greens and brazil nut ($22). It was a dish pack full of flavour from the crisp textures of the fine strands of potato to the earthy flavours of the mushrooms complementing well with a crunch from the brazil nuts and beancurds. We shared the Margaret River beef shin with tarragon sauce and lemon ($65) which comes with a refreshing serve of radish salad on the side. Our first impressions of the beef shin dish - "Damn, that's a big bone!". The radish complimented the beef shin well as this combination of radish and beef in the mouth created a good mixture of texture and flavors. The first thing that was noticed was the tenderness of the beef mixed with the crunch of the radish. Soon after, the flavors of the lemon and tarragon cuts in and what was left was a soothing, fresh herb texture. It was the dish of the night. Hearty and yet deliciously good. We managed to demolish the beef shin dish and still have room for dessert. We shared the lemon leaf rice pudding, with strawberry, pistachio and lavender ($14) as recommended by our waitperson. It's bright, bursting with colour and shouts summer. I love all things lavender and the lavender ice cream was a standout for me, giving a soothing texture. Elwyn was a big fan of this dessert as there was a combination of different flavours and textures from sweet to creamy. After a great dinner at Petition Kitchen, we decided to have a quick look around. We passed by the beer corner and wine bar which was happening and full of life with office workers celebrating the end of the week with after work drinks. With upcoming restaurants opening soon such as Wildflower, The Post and Long Chim, Cathedral Square is going to be the new place to be and definitely a hub for all foodies. There's also vendors like the Honeycake, Sugarplum Sweets and Sue Lewis Chocolate. It's a must visit.

These guys are masters. Three seperate entities rolled into one location, each of them as spectacular as the other. A beer corner, a wine bar / merchant and a restaurant. The food here is fantastic, at any one of the locations you go the food will not disappoint, I'll get that out of the way first, but make sure you pay a visit to the restaurant as they of course have the most to choose from. The beer corner has a rotating tap system with craft beer on 18 different taps, which if you are a fan of beer will most definitely put a smile on your face. The service is friendly and the stripped back decor works well with the no pretence vibe. The wine bar and merchant is fantastic! Have a chat to the sommelier and he will let you know what you should have, then stroll around the shelves and find another bottle of wine to take home, there is an abundance of varietals to choose from, from all over the globe.

Review for Petition Beer Corner: Good beer selection, and pretty reasonably priced as far as craft beer in Perth is concerned. Fridge has a good selection of bottled beers that you can take away for cheaper than if you choose to drink them in the bar which is a nice option. You can choose 3 different sizes of beers, which allows you get lots of smaller beers before deciding on the one you'll sit on for the evening. Fitout is classy industrial, and looks great, very spacious. They have board games and 1 couch. Their coasters are have information about lots of different beer styles which is cool and a conversation starter. Their chairs are SO uncomfortable though, they aren't designed for comfort at all, form over function. You can't settle in with these wooden stools, ugh. You're constantly moving around and adjusting. They have a small selection of food from Petition Kitchen, and we've had the burger which comes with a beef patty, cheese, pickles and onion rings ($22). It's a decent sized burger and I shared it with my husband. I thought the onion rings would come on the side but there are 3 inside the burger. For what it is, it's a little expensive, but it was tasty. You can also get turkey wings for about $18 and buttermilk fried chicken for $22 as well. They have a small selection of nice wines as well which is good!

I really love the brunch menu at the petition. Simply put it, it's different.. delicious and "light" in a healthy sort of way. There are healthier options for those who still want to go out but keep their waistline in check. i love the exposed kitchen and watching the chefs do their thing. The staff are lovely, but i feel as though they still don't know their menu well enough. Coffees are well made with great beans. looking forward to trying their dinner menu soon.

Excellent new addition to the CBD. Part of what's set to be this summers hottest new precinct, Cathedral Square. The interior of the restaurant is stunning, keeping original floorboards of the heritage building it inhabits. Former Cumulus Inc chef Jesse Blake is at the helm and the quality of the food produced in this kitchen echoes that of Cumulus. Highlights of my first visit were the steak tartare, duck parfait and rice pudding. Pretty excited to work my way through the menu!

If you want a traditional, formal meal, go elsewhere. If you want high quality farm-to-table ingredients, prepared imaginatively and with an array of spices, served in a frenetic, fun-filled atmosphere, this is your place. Decor is comfortable reclaimed industrial, with some outside seating. Concept is shared plates, think 4-5 small plates shared for a couple. Music is not elevator/background; you can hear the classic R&B, adult alternative and similar music. Very extensive and varied wine list, ~80% Aussie, with the rest from everywhere else. We had heirloom tomatoes with a whipped tofu sauce, raw beans and cukes in a really interesting vinaigrette, a salad of fresh crisp greens that worked well with an extreme dill dressing, spectacular garlic roasted fingerling potatoes, and free range chicken breast over leeks and mashed potatoes with lemon zest and egg whites. The chicken was done perfectly. Everything was delicious. First rate. Our only regret was that after all of that, there was no room for a dessert, and they all sounded amazing. Service was not professional. Instead it was friendly and fun. For example, our first two dishes were delivered by the manager, and I hadn't gotten my glass of wine. He ran over and poured me a glass, "on him." I dropped my napkin and as soon as I picked it up, another server had brought me another one. I tried a different wine for my second glass "so I could try something new." After the ensuring wine discussion with our server, he brought over a taste of his favorite on the list because it was so different and he thought I might like it. (It was VERY different, and I DID like it.) There was constant banter with the staff. We had so much fun eating such great food. What could be better? Five stars!
