Book NowAbout Shadow Bar & Kitchen
Perth diners head down William Street for moody European dining and an exacting wine list tailored to romantic milestones and relaxed late afternoons. Booths, high window perches, and low tables set a low-lit pace where knowledgeable staff match glasses to pillowy gnocchi, kingfish crudo, and ribeye. The cocktail list splits by glassware format—high, low, or up—right down to a tart amaretto sour. Dishes glide out unhurried, right through to chocolate mousse or a rich beetroot risotto with goat’s cheese.

Ellie Cosy Ambience and Unhurried Comfort
A warm, softly lit room pairs with attentive hosting so you can settle in comfortably without ever feeling rushed.
The interior had such a refined atmosphere — dim lighting, soft music, and a layout that made it feel both cosy and high-end.

Monika Kryger Effortless Drop-Ins Before the Theatre
Conveniently positioned for an impromptu glass of wine and charcuterie before a nearby show or right after work.
This hidden gem of a restaurant and wine bar is incredible and the wine that Pinot noir was perfect for a cold winter night. The charcuterie board was very flavourful
