Situated on Angove Street in amongst the buzz of the local bars in North Perth is Chilli Orange – a modern Asian restaurant. It’s a really stylish place, with easy parking (car park next door), romantic candlelit tables, and is obviously a firm favourite with the locals. When we visited, there was a mixture of older and younger clientele, and a comfortable casual atmosphere – it’s the kind of place where the dress code is smart-casual. We ordered a glass each of the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, a really nice brand called Whitehaven. Very fruity with a lovely clean pineapple and gooseberry finish.
Their food never disappoints. A few of my highlights include the sirloin with the truffle oil, the mushroom tempura as a side dish and the duck red curry.
This place is great for group dining or date night ideas. Casual but you can enjoy good quality food. Do yourself a favour and check this place out ASAP!

Chilli Orange has been up there with some of my favourite Perth restaurants for the last couple of years. My most recent visit was a little disappointing, with mediocre service (one waitress who seemed disinterested), and the exact same dishes on somewhat tired repeat. We ordered the chicken san choy bow (good), the roast duck bao (good), sashimi salmon salad (exceptional), and the mixed tempura (ordinary). Finished with the ginger creme brûlée (usually this is excellent but sadly it didn’t taste as amazing as it has done in the past). The menu has stayed essentially exactly the same over the years (which you can get away with if it’s quite extensive), otherwise it feels repetitive & boring for repeat customers - it would be nice to see some specials or a seasonal menu to mix things up a bit for regular diners. Still a great place to try if you’re a fan of modern Asian fusion style dining.
