Akiras Cafe & Restaurant

On a recent visit to Perth and looking for somewhere to have dinner on my own, Akiras was just down the road so I thought I'd give them a try. I was warmly welcomed & seated by a lovely woman behind the counter. To say that the menu is comprehensive is an understatement! There is quite literally something for everyone here. Italian, Indian, Mexican, European, fusion, they also have gluten free, vegetarian and nut free options. Now I encounter the biggest challenge of all....it all sounds so delicious!!! I ordered: The arancini for entree: PERFECTION. Crispy and crunchy on the outside, oozy cheesy goodness in the middle, on a sharp and flavourful tomato sauce. The evening special of pan fried snapper, mashed potato & five beans for main: SCRUMPTIOUS. A perfectly cooked and generous piece of snapper on a bed of dreamy buttery mashed potato, dressed with five bean mix and just the right amount of citrus and oil dressing. I took away a piece of gluten free orange & almond cake for dessert later on because by this time I was well stuffed (and satisfied) DELICIOUS. The chef is clearly very passionate about his work and accomplished and skilled at what he does. It shows in the thoughtful and exciting menu, and beautiful presentation of his food. The service was also efficient and attentive. Thankyou both for a truly delicious dinner, and one of the best I've had out in quite a while. If I lived in Perth Akiras would get sick of seeing me because I would be there EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Oh well, next time I'm up from Denmark I'll have to work my way through their dinner menu but I'd also really love to try their brunch menu. The french toast is calling me... until next time...

Last minute drop in before going to the Crown, one of the best hidden gems we have found in Perth. Food was excellent with plenty of Gluten free options, worth the little extra wait. Service was great too. We don't normally leave reviews and I can be a Karen at times so that alone should tell you how good they were. 😁
