About Il Lido Italian Canteen

Perched opposite Cottesloe Beach, Il Lido brings unpretentious seaside dining with communal long tables and front-row Indian Ocean views. Cottesloe regulars roll straight from morning swims onto the outdoor promenade for espresso, prawn omelettes, and pistachio orange cake. Come afternoon, the room shifts into high gear—wine bottles stacked against art deco walls, the hum of shared bench conversations, and plates of fresh oysters and al dente sausage pasta landing under a golden sunset. Operating straight through from 6:30am to 11:30pm, the canteen captures effortless sprezzatura right down to the final forkful of clam linguine.

  • Oceanfront Vibe: Communal bench seating and wine-lined walls face straight out over the Cottesloe shore.
  • Standout Italian Fare: Seafood-driven plates and handmade pastas like clam linguine and pork sausage rigatoni headline the kitchen.
  • Alfresco Mornings: Morning service starts at 6:30am on the patio with espresso, prawn omelettes, and pistachio orange cake.

  • Continuous All-Day Service

    Continuous service from early morning until late night allows diners to drop in flexibly outside typical split-shift restaurant hours.

    And yes, to my surprise, they’re open 6:30am till 11:30pm — this is not something you see every day in Perth.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on bookings, communal dining, and beachfront timing at Il Lido.

  • Time Your Dinner for Sunset

    Reserve a table specifically timed just before sunset to take in the golden hour and sea breeze across Cottesloe Beach with an aperol spritz or glass of wine.

  • Expect Communal Canteen Seating

    Interior dining is arranged with long communal bench seating where guests dine shoulder-to-shoulder, so anticipate a bustling shared canteen setup rather than secluded private tables.

  • Know the Outdoor Seating and Booking Setup

    Outside alfresco seating offers full table service—no need to line up inside to place an order. If you want a guaranteed indoor table or plan to visit for weekend breakfast, book ahead to avoid waits.
