"Perth's finest table — book Wildflower for a three-hatted rooftop tasting menu built around the six Noongar seasons, above Cathedral Square."
About Wildflower
Wildflower sits on the rooftop of COMO The Treasury in the restored State Buildings, looking out across Cathedral Square and the city. It has been Perth's most decorated dining room for years, holding three chef's hats in the WA Good Food Guide. The idea that organises everything is the indigenous six-season Noongar calendar — Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba and Kambarang — which sets what the kitchen cooks and when. It is a fine-dining room with a clear sense of place in Perth.
The Kitchen
Head chef Stephen Thompson, Irish-born and classically trained, runs four, six and eight-course tasting menus that change with the Noongar season. Native Western Australian produce leads: marron, Shark Bay crab, Rottnest scallops and local game appear alongside foraged herbs and wattleseed. The cooking is precise rather than showy, with classical technique behind native ingredients. The wine list leans hard into Margaret River and the Great Southern. A full tasting menu with pairings sits firmly in the top ($$$$) bracket — this is a special-occasion kitchen.
The Room
The room is calm and grown-up: muted tones, generous spacing between tables, and a wall of glass that frames Cathedral Square and the cathedral spires. At dusk the light over the square does much of the work. Service is polished and well-paced for a long tasting menu. Window tables are the ones to request, and weekends book well ahead. It is built for an unhurried evening rather than a quick meal.
Best for an anniversary
For an anniversary, a proposal or a milestone dinner, Wildflower is Perth's clear first choice: the rooftop view, the paced tasting menu and the quiet room all serve the occasion. A natural anniversary and proposal table, and an easy impress-clients booking.
Not for
Not for a quick, casual bite or a budget night out — Wildflower is a long, top-priced tasting-menu restaurant built for unhurried special occasions, not a drop-in dinner.
