Amazing food. Huge wine selection. Really enjoy their bread, crab pasta and steak. Staff are very friendly and don’t mind answering questions about wine and food.
Great, high quality and delicious food sourcing local WA produce. Extensive wine list as would be expected and worth every cent of the dining experience.

A couple of weeks ago we were privileged to be invited, along with other food bloggers, to Must – one of the best and longest established bistros around town – to get a glimpse of their new menu – and new direction. The new menu is made up, as chef and owner Russell Blaikie says, of those dishes he likes to cook at home – and along with a streamlined wine list is a major change in direction for this 17 year old icon of Perth dining.
When Lifestylebylily asked me to attend a sundowner event sampling a brand-new menu at MUST Winebar in Mount Lawley, I immediately said yes as I have been to this venue before and have eaten delicious meals prepared by the talented Russell Blaikie, so I was very excited. The new menu incorporates the theme: ‘more vegetables, more sharing, less formal’.
Came here on the recommendation of a friend. Greeted by snooty ,too cool for school , wait staff.
Ordered a very tasty Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir and the house charcuterie platter to share.
All components all expertly made and tasty.
Would love to come back and try other things on the menu.

Classy French Bistro…
A classic French style bistro that has been around a long time. Consistency seems to be the key as the food and service on this visit were as good this time as when I last visited many years ago…
FoodClassic French style bistro food, utilising the best of locally sourced produce. The menu, whilst fairly small, gave plenty of choice (meat, seafood & vegetarian options) and has regularly changing specials. There is an extensive wine list by the glass and bottle and halleluiah - excellent fresh bread and butter which was plentiful and free (restaurants that “nickel-and-dime” you by charging for bread is a pet hate!).
ServiceService was prompt, professional and friendly but relaxed and casual, so attentive but not claustrophobic which was ideal.
All in all, an excellent restaurant which I would highly recommend. Some consider it a little pricey, but you get what you pay for, and this was value for money…
professional professional professional. that’s all there is to it. you want to impress someone, in either business or life? this is where you bring them. some checks and balances are needed with the dishes before they get to the client. but as a whole experience, it’s difficult to fault. the service is exemplary.
Great little spot. A new local for me. Held an event there in the Private Dining Room. Exceptional service with prompt waitstaff. Reasonably priced for the quality and service they provide. Food has always met my expectations. Meat cooked perfectly, friendly staff and very accommodating for my gluten free guests. Highly recommend. Great place to hold events.
Groovy little place. Came here for drinks one night and then environment was great. Then back to try the food and it was delicious. On a busy night, might need to wait but worth it. Defs a must visit spot. Will be back again and again.

** you don’t have to want wine to like it here**
Booked for group of 4, not busy but service patchy and slow. For example 2 of 3 entrees came out briskly but 3rd took forever. The rule is entrees should come out within say 5mins of each other. I felt bad savouring my crispy pork belly 👌🏽 as a fellow diner waited waited & waited some more for his octopus. Also I’m not a fan of fries.
POSITIVES
> excellent food - pork crispy, everything tasty
> meat cooked to perfection & as requested in terms of doneness
> good menu options meat, seafood, sides
> the kind of place u could take anyone and be sure the food will be reliably good & something on the menu for everyone (unless you’re a dairy gluten oxygen intolerant vegan then maybe just stay home)

We went for Valentines Day and paid $100 for a 4 course menu with champagne. It was all amazing! The wine is of course spectacular. My only critique would be that the chocolate mousse needed more raspberry sauce and the salad with that accompanied the lamb was nothing flash. Our waiter Mikayla was very attentive and polite.
Great night with the boys. Some delicious cocktails.
The Bartender?
She was amazing!!! Knew her stuff and just delivered the goods!
You know that feeling where the place has been open forever and you were told many times to go but didn't!? Well that's me. Look go book it now. Simple as that.
Great food and wine menu...especially signature crab pasta
Thanks for 19 years of Must! Beaufort street, and Perth, won't be the same without you. Loved this wine you recommended for our last drinks there. Thanks again!
Great little place. Love the wine. I remember coming here and the food was delicious. However the menu isn't too big. But it isn't a pub I suppose, and the food seems tedious to prepare, so that's understandable.
Great little place to come to! Definitely enjoy coming here and would like to come again.
I went there for Valentine's day, the atmosphere was nice and the food was excellent. However we could stay in there for 2 hours and the waitress/supervisor was pushing a bit, we had stayed in there for 50 min and we asked to wait a bit for the dessert as we were drinking wine and enjoying our night, but after 4 min she just put the dessert spoon on the table and brought the last dish, it was clearly visible she wanted us to leave, just think she could be more professional! Overall, the experience was good!
