I attended the latest long table dinner matching food with wine and without a doubt one of the best value for money events I have attended.
The food was incredible, staff were great and the wine was second to none
Awesome food, cocktails were fabulous and the beer garden is a little piece of heaven in the city - my fave place to be after a long day at work š

Thereās no denying The Standard has a great feel and ambience. Funky interior decor, and a really nice outdoor setting with additional upstairs outdoor seating makes for a really cool place to dine & have a drink (or two). Wait staff for the most part, are friendly and knowledgeable. Menu is interesting and creative - from tapas share plates to larger main courses, although not much has changed on their menu over the last few years. Came for lunch recently and shared the KFC Korean fried cauliflower- a bit too heavily battered and flavour was overpoweringly sweet. Kombu braised cabbage was interesting, but the sauce it was cooked in was again super sweet so it was hard to eat a lot of this. Thai herb salad was sensational, jumbo prawns were delicious and Stracciatella with zucchini & mint was simple but tasty. Finished with the honeycomb semifreddo, which was encased in a very thick log shaped shell of hard chocolate - really wish there was more actual semifreddo in this dessert than the other elements, as well as the passion fruit sorbet (nothing special). Food was a little hit and miss in my opinion, but there were a lot of dishes we didnāt get the opportunity to try. Still a great place to check out, be sure to book ahead especially on weekends as it gets packed.
Yes a straight 5* let me start with the venue itself, modern feel with touches of foliage around and plenty of places to sit/stand (whatever your into) at the bar, inside, outside, upstairs outside....you get the point.Ā
There are plenty of food options for everyone, Im not going to single any out, but we have tried them all and can say let your imagination do the ordering.Ā It's definitely a style for sharing though but thats cool because that way your try more.
There are a few tap beers which are most often filled with Australian craft varieties that change seasonally. Plenty of others in the fridge and the wine lovers will find something with ease.
The pricing is about right for Perth in its modern form. Best thing is when the experience is this good your happy what you get for your dollars.
On a side note make sure you follow them on socials, you will get in the know early with their Sunday feast menu which you have to get onto, its one of Perth's best kept secrets!!

It was a good Monday evening and we got a nice cosy table outside near an outdoor heater which was fantastic. They have a beautiful but dim garden with led lights all around. Music was loud, but probably because we were seated directly under the speakers. There are plenty of seatings outside with a 'upper level' area also. Quite impressive!! The inside was also nicely decorated.
We came here because of Hawker Mondays. It was supposed to be Crispy Roasted pork belly lechon. Upon asking about this special, we were told that it is 'sold out'. Really?! It was 6pm, and we were probably the first few dining guests.
Feeling a little disappointed and also deceived, we still proceeded to order what's on the menu: Korean bbq chicken, and the Swordfish (fish of the day) with turmeric and coconut curry and rice gnnocchi.
Both dishes were well presented and look appetizing. Although the rice gnnocchi was surprisingly the Korean rice cake Tteokbokki, it was still good. The Korean bbq chicken dish didn't taste anything Korean like, despite it too having the Tteokbokki in it. It makes me wonder if the chef is Korean or just a fan of the rice cake. Both dishes were unique and tasted good.
Service was friendly and prompt. They do have more selection on their drinks menu, including cocktails and mix drinks. The food prices are higher than other nearby restaurants. I'd recommend this venue if you want to come for drinks and social catchups.
Friday evening drinks and stayed on for dinner.
Very busy, noisy and vibrant, however service and attention not at all compromised.
Wait staff were brilliant.
Great selection of beers, wines and cocktails and not over the top for price.
We selected a fair number of dishes to share and were very happy. Presentation and flavour of all was spot on. The KFC was a standout!

One of the best bars around ā but more than a bar the Standard has an entrancing garden area at the back and the kitchen turns out some of the best food you could wish for ā it has an Asian twist, and indeed each Monday is Hawker Monday with a new dish inspired by Asian street food. And the wine list is similarly outstanding with an emphasis on new wave wines from some of WAās and Australiaās best young producers, but including, too, some fine international choices from Italy, Spain and France.
The rumours were right! This place is an absolute gem! First of all, the atmosphere is absolutely amazing, you have three different areas where you can be at. Second, I was very impressed with the lazy Sunday dinner option only for $50 dollars! It was three of us and we were so stuffed that we had to take some home! This is one of my local pubs so I will certainly be back some time soon!
Been here a few times now under a few different circumstances, each time it has been exceptional! Fantastic service, atmosphere and food. In fact I'd highly recommend going during the week rather than on weekends as the staff actually have the time to commit to their excellent customer service.
I like the courtyard and its atmosphere. Perfect for a summer dinner with few friends. Food and service are good. Convenient location in the middle of a vibrant area.

Went along on Hawker Monday prior to seeing a show at the state theatre. Staff are awesome, efficient, friendly and professional despite being super busy. We didnāt have to wait around at all for service when we were after it. Kudos to the team.
Was fully booked but managed to get seats at the bar.
We ordered some mulled red wine and cider ($8 each). Yum yum, tasted the same as mulled drinks weāve had in Europe, very warming. I noted the espresso martinis were $10 with Mr Black coffee liqueur mmmm, will have to come back and get some.
We naturally ordered the hawker Monday special (laksa with Thai spiced chicken thighs, slow eggs, sprouts, fresh herbs, house made fermented chilli sauce, black bean ketchup (I think), fish sauce, bottomless broth. The dish was fab. Loved the rich coconut broth with plenty of shrimpy umami, bright acid tones and warm spice. My partner and I got two bottles each, and finished them. So good. Itās better than the laksa weāve had around Perth which I find can be oily, watery or both. The egg was cooked nicely (watch out ramen joints) and the chicken was tender. Loved the herbaceousness of it all too.
My partner also appreciated the combination of great service with great Asian food (I tend to drag her along to Asian joints with great food but mmm lacklustre service).
If this is a reflection of their normal food then weāll be back for more. Great place. The Monday dishes rotate (stay in tune on their social media) so Iām not sure if weāll see the laksa again.
Nothing better than a lazy Susan on a Sunday. Iāve been eyeing off the standard since last year and itās safe to say there $50 meals on Sundayās feels like a surprise party every week. With a new meal every week, this tasty platter could feed a family. Iāve been impressed every time! Canāt wait for next weeks
We tried the hawker Wednesday special and it was such a treat. Great meal for a great price with a drink included and the restaurant had an awesome vibe and atmosphere for a rainy Wednesday night. The service was quick and friendly too. The meal was really delicious. We had the Thai duck broth. The broth was lacking a bit in flavor but the duck was delicious. We also tried the fried chicken and it was one of the yummiest Iāve had! So delicious. Would recommend trying it out.
First time here. Really liked the ambiance, especially the garden area. But it would be better during the winter, summer heat is crazy. We ordered the Lazy weekend and it was okay. Most of the food is sour. Huge portion tho, good enough for 4. Cocktail was great! Dont remember the exact name but it was Yuzu something.
Faultless food. Great service and ambience both inside and outside in the garden (and upstairs)
My only regret is I didn't get time to take pics of the grilled Korean BBQ chicken noodles before we devoured it! Entree we got home made potato gems (is there anything better?) And shredded duck pancake thingy. Want to go back to try the sunday lazy Susan lunch too!
Great bar in Northbridge. Large space with an inside and outside bar.
The food is very good. Try a selection of the share plates. Asian influenced tapas style. The Korean chicken is yummy.
First time here and I am very impressed!! Korean food was delicious in an Aussie restaurant/bar. Lovely!!! Will try something else next time:)
Not sure if the lady is a security guard/front counter staff memeber, but her name is Eleanor and she's from Italy. Absolutely outstanding customer service from her. So polite, friendly and caring!! Give her a pay rise!! Thanks for making our night pleasant š
If wanting to dine in for dinner, def book..however you can walk in for drinks in the garden bar side.
Customer Service 10/10
Ambience 10/10
Drinks 10/10
Will be back to try the food for sure šš¾
What great service !! Greeted with a smile and everything explained in detail. Gave me hope for service in Perth.
The menu was a nice surprise, not your typical pub grub, lots of options and caters well for vegetarians and gluten free options.
A tasty mulled wine to top it off too. Definitely returning for another round.
