Father’s Day is all about giving Dad a reason to put his feet up, gather the family and enjoy a meal that feels a little more special than the usual Sunday lunch. Across Perth, some of WA’s best restaurants are marking September 6 with everything from fire-cooked feasts and South American flavours to Italian dining and generous buffet lunches.
Whether Dad is the adventurous type, a dedicated foodie or simply appreciates a good meal in great surroundings, these five Father’s Day offerings are worth booking ahead.
Make it a fire-fuelled celebration at Hearth
Hearth Restaurant & Lounge is putting its signature open-fire cooking at the centre of Father’s Day, with a refined three-course lunch accompanied by live music. The menu reflects Hearth’s focus on Western Australian produce, cooked over the fire for the bold, smoky flavours that have become a hallmark of the Perth restaurant.
Set overlooking Elizabeth Quay at The Ritz-Carlton, Hearth offers plenty of atmosphere to go with the food. For families wanting to make Dad feel properly celebrated, this is a chance to settle in for a leisurely lunch while enjoying seasonal produce and a setting that makes the occasion feel special.
Take Dad on a South American journey at UMA
UMA Restaurant is giving Father’s Day a distinctly South American flavour, with a feast showcasing Western Australia’s finest produce. Expect fire-kissed meats, vibrant seasonal dishes and the warm hospitality that makes UMA a standout for diners looking for something beyond the traditional Sunday roast.
The restaurant’s Peruvian-inspired approach brings together flavours from across South America, with dishes spanning the ocean, paddock and valley. For Dad who likes discovering something different, UMA offers an opportunity to turn Father's Day into a full dining adventure rather than simply another meal out.
Let Dad loose at Firewater Grille
Firewater Grille is serving an indulgent Father’s Day lunch buffet on Sunday, September 6, from 12pm to 2pm. Priced at $90 per adult and $55 for children aged four to 12, it is designed for families who want plenty of choice and a generous meal.

Give Dad an Italian lunch at Julio’s

Celebrate by the river at Gusti
Gusti Restaurant & Bar is taking Father’s Day outdoors with special à la carte dining beside the river. Running through September 6, the offering invites families to gather over Italian entrées, hearty mains and indulgent desserts while making the most of the riverside setting.
The à la carte format keeps things flexible, making Gusti a good choice for families who would rather let Dad choose exactly what he wants. With the restaurant’s Italian focus and riverside location, it offers a relaxed way to spend Father’s Day without turning the celebration into an overly formal affair.
From open-fire cooking and South American flavours to Italian feasts and indulgent buffet dining, WA has plenty of ways to make Dad’s day feel genuinely special. The hardest part may be deciding which experience suits him best.
