Mulled wine in winter in this upstairs hideaway is well worth it. Food is decent, staff are great. Get involved people!
The food was mostly amazing, the portions were just very small for the price unfortunately, and we gave it a go, but pumpkin puree doesn’t go with scallops.
Great cocktails, staff were good, no complaints there, music a little too loud for a quiet night.
Canadian ski lodge meets sunny ole Perth. I can’t stop coming back to this venue with their ever changing menu and delicious cocktails. Also in the entertainment book which is always great for a bargain. Locals should definitely give this place a try for a casual bite any day of the week.
Hard to fault the food and service at The Cabin. Service staff are very friendly and accommodating; tapas style food is easy to eat. Also great balcony for a bit of outside fun. It’s the place to go in Mt Hawthorn.
Came here with friends for Sunday tapas and wine. Thankfully we booked a table because the place was very busy, especially towards the end of the day. We shared a variety of dishes, and thoroughly enjoyed the pork belly and the duck liver parfait dishes. Recommend.
I was so impressed with the food at Cabin today. It was thoughtful, in season and beautifully presented. The beetroot salad was a riot of colour with dabs of zesty condiments and polenta bites were very crisp and filling with just the right amount of cheesy ness. I barely restrained myself from ordering the New York style potatoes as they came out the kitchen as they looked amazing. The menu is vegetarian friendly too which is so hard to find in Perth. We will definitely be back. Compliments to the chef.
We came here for dinner and I really enjoyed it. The food was nice, but the cocktails were even nicer. Loved all 3 that I had. The setting was good, and sitting on the balcony area was nice.
Loved our dinner here last night. Service, food and wine were all excellent. We started with a glass of wine each, and then the food started to arrive. We ordered bread, the scallops, fish tacos, Cajun chicken and kangaroo loin, then had a dessert each. For me the scallops and fish tacos were the standouts, and W liked the chicken best. All the dishes were complex and well thought out, with balanced flavours and textures. The wine list was extensive with lots of wines available by the glass. We had the snickers in a glass and the banana mousse for dessert. The snickers was very very sweet but we were given due warning of that! The banana dish was delicious and paired well with dessert wine.
Our waitress for the evening (didn't catch her name but she had a slight accent) was very helpful and friendly.
We're keen to go back soon!
Nothing really to fault here, but conversely nothing really stood out as being a cut above. We had a special which was fried chicken and brussel sprouts. Both were only OK. With such intense competition in the area I had hoped to be astounded.
I've been to The Cabin a number of times & it's always excellent. The staff are friendly & helpful (especially for food or wine decisions!) but not intrusive. I really like the feel of the place - perfect for date night :) and always end up staying for hours.
Great food and deco. Not the cheapest but well worth it. Fish fingers was yum and the potatoes are to die for. Wings are tasty and meatballs are awesome. Will definitely be back

A nice spot for a girls get together. The 5 of us hung out here tonight with a fair crowd of other folk. Lucky we booked (through Zomato). Finding it was a bit tricky with road works at the building and poor signage, but eventually I spotted it. Locals obviously know it, but I was first timer.
Inside the atmosphere is warm and busy, but friendly staff seemed to have it all under control. I started with a recommended glass of white while she had a nice red and friends enjoyed softies. We ordered a bit of everything and were pleased we did. Bread to start with balsamic and olive oil. Cauliflower, scorched pumpkin and spicy potatoes for the veggies while those amongst us that eat meat had quail Kiev, buffalo meatballs, Cajun chicken and lamb neck tacos. To finish the cheese plate looked like a meal in itself while I had the miso caramel and chocolate cup and she had the chocolate truffle, washed down with tea and coffee. No complaints (although they were out of rhubarb), especially when the entertainment book discount was honoured! At $35 a head for all that we ordered, we left very happy.
One of the cutest interior. Was expecting tapas serving but dishes were surprisingly a lot bigger and delicious. My ultimate favourite was the nachos and duck confit. Would definitely go back again.
Excellent meatboard and pickled vegetable. Followed by Buffalo meatballs that are wholesome and full of flavour. GSM from McLaren Vale was full bodied. The staff are friendly, attentive and informative.
Have been here a few times - never disappoints. Free chicken wing Sundays are a big hit if you can make it down there. I recommend their quail chicken kievs - delish!
Only one point deducted due to the desserts usually being disappointing.
Easily one of my favourite places to dine in Perth. The atmosphere is fantastic, second to only the food and wine on the menu. This cosy tucked away gem is well worth the visit.

Dropped in for an early dinner lastnight and manged to catch the last half hour of the sun sitting outside on the balcony. I was tempted for their $15 espresso martini special but opted for a glass of the Margaret River Deep Woods Rose ($10.50) served in their own lovey big wine goblets. Later on I tried the other Rose Estandon from France ($11) which was my favourite by a smidgen. We were looked after by a lovely waitress who was very helpful with our questions about the menu. We decided on 3 plates from the smaller bites and 1 from the share section and a serving of 'half breads' to soak up the meatball sauce. I felt this was enough food for two. The bread contained 4 half slices and was fresh served with balsamic and EVOO ($4.50). To follow were the Lamb Neck Tacos (2 for $14), Goats Cheese & Basil Bites ($10) and Fried Cajun Chicken with charred corn & buttermilk puree ($17) which were all lovely. We ended with the Buffalo Meatballs with Mushroom Ragu ($22) which was my least favourite but still enjoyable. The entertainment book discount was great and I plan to return for their $12 Friday cocktail specials. This place would be lovely on a cold winters night too. Very warm & cosy. Great decor.
Great place for a girls night out especially in winter. Warm and cosy atmosphere reminiscient of a european ski lodge. Love their mulled wine.
What a great little find. Arrived at 5 so it was quiet and we got a table on the balcony whet we could enjoy the gentle breeze. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the menu was reasonably short and sweet. The 3 dishes we chose- duck pate, buttermilk chicken and pork tacos were all delicious but the absolute delight was the caramel chocolate we had with coffee. Decent wine list with plenty of choices by the glass. Could have sat there all night.
Great warm ambience with the choice of alfresco dining. Good music inside. Very chilled out. Awesome food. Staggered the dishes so perfect to go out for some good conversation. Very decent wine list. Will def return. Highlight dish was the kievs. Omg yum 😋
First time tried this place.came with a group of friends.
They have a fantastic lunch offer $25 for 3 course.
So among 4 of us we had:
Snacks: peanuts; vege pickles; and olive
Starter: aracini balls; chicken wings and duck pate
Main: pork slider; beef ribs; squid
All of them are nice and yummy.
But everyone always have a favourites, for me peanuts;aracini balls;chicken wings and beef ribs....these 4 dishes stand out from the rest.
Definitely recommend this place..oh yes..don't forget to use your entertainment card 💳....😉
Highly recommended for a catch up with friends. It's reasonably quiet, so you can actually have a conversation. The food is gonna turn your brain into shit (in a good way). Absolutely amazing! Also, staff are super friendly, atmosphere is great, they have a couple nice outdoor seating areas.... nothing to complain about here.
his place scores a 4 because i exclusively go there during Winter, and the place is so cozy and warm. Great ambiance on a cold winters evening. I would rate the food a 3.5 out of 5. Some dishes are better than that, but i have been here maybe 10 - 15 times in the last three years. It is worth noting the place is also reasonably pricey, but it is definitely worth going , and they have specials on certain nights. Lads this is a good place to take a date June through to August.

Came here for the first time with my wife last Friday. Although I heard about this place a number of times over the past few years and have driven past it countless times, I didn't know much about it or know what to expect. Being a cold night, it was very soothing to walk into the comforting warmth of the firelit, loungelike entrance and the soft, informal setting.
The dishes we ordered were mostly delicious, albeit served to us in a strange order (i.e. some of the entrees were served at the end of the meal) with the two standouts being the quail kiev and the kimchi. While I enjoyed the taste of the mutton chorizo it was a tad too salty for my tastes. Fortunately they have a good range of wine to counteract the salt ;).
As far as the service was concerned, while we recieved friendly service and were taken to our table promptly on arrival, we waited a long time before the waitress came back again, or to order our second drink.
Niggling issues aside, this restaurant is terrific and can't wait to come back to try some of their other dishes.
Was just walking by abs say this place and thought I'd stop in for a quick bite to eat with my wife. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu. It is licensed so drinks were good even if pricey.

The Cabin Small Bar is an inconspicuous place hidden upstairs on Scarborough Beach Road. It was a hard to find place but it was worth the search. When we entered I felt the immediate coziness and warmth of the cabin. The ambience inside was good and there was just the right amount of noise without being too loud. The first thing we ordered was the Tuesday special-the lamb ribs, the potatoes and the nachos. The lamb ribs were amazing, they put smokey bbq sauce on the melt-in-the-mouth ribs. The ribs were juicy and soft and easy to eat with no fat! The spiced potatoes were amazing! The aioli on them was so fresh and tangy, complementing the crunchy spiced potatoes. The nachos were crispy and the paprika on them packed just the right amount of spice. The pulled lamb that came with the nachos was spiced and so soft! The guacamole and sour cream was fresh and tangy and worked well with the spicy pulled lamb and crunchy nachos. For dessert, I ordered the snickers in a glass. It came out very quickly and it was one of the best desserts I have ever eaten! The top layer was peanuts and caramel, the second layer was chocolate fudge, the third layer was condensed milk and the bottom layer was crushed biscuits. I ate them all together and it was sensational! Best dinner and dessert and we will be back.
Fantastic venue! Staff are always friendly and the food is amazing every time. Its one place I am always coming back to in Perth :)
We went last weekend for a birthday dinner and the place was packed out, lucky we booked!
Only con on the night was the limited amount of staff members, they need to roster more people on for those busy nights. We waited a good 15-20 mins to order and then another wait of a bit over 30 mins for someone to come back to our table so we could order dessert, by that point we had to leave to catch a show. I felt sorry for the wait staff, it was clear they were under the pump, kudos to them for keeping a super friendly and helpful manner throughout though!
Love it. Fun, eclectic decor. Good service, though a little rough around the edges, delicious share plates and a great range of drinks.
The Cabin is especially good inside, but scoring a seat by the fire is a real challenge.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
We went last night, when it was super busy, and I must say, the lady who I'm guessing was the floor manager was amazing. She was pleasant and helpful and super friendly, despite probably being a bit stressed. The waitstaff were also mostly happy and nice.
The Snickers Jar is really nice. It is quite sweet/rich, so if you don't have a big sweet tooth I'd recommend sharing it.
The Mulled Wine ($9 special) was very good, and nicer than some of the glühwein I had in Germany (as it wasn't as spicy).
Update: Went again for dinner, hoping to get the free 1kg of bbq chicken wings when you buy 4 beers/ciders special. Unfortunately it had sold out at 4:30pm. However, that meant we tried several of the other dishes, and they were all great. The spicy potatoes and buttermilk chicken were standouts, and the gnocchi and nachos were also very good.
Price wise, it does add up, especially if you get a drink. The cocktails are average value, and the Lemon Jaffa was nice (though my partner found it bland) but had a lot of ice in it, which was bothersome at first as it made it hard to drink.
When I think of a small bar in Perth that is cosy, intimate and perfect for a date night, The Cabin in Mt Hawthorn definitely springs to mind. It feels warm and inviting as soon as you step inside and with the low lighting, exposed brick, wood fire, couches and heated balcony, it’s perfect all year round. The inside space actually looks and feels like someone’s lounge room and the decor would be right at home in a cabin in the woods.
We were there for a mid week dinner and it wasn’t overly busy although I’ve been here on weekends before and it has been packed. The menu is designed around share plates and they use free range, seasonal and local produce where available. There are so many delicious sounding things on the menu and as there were a few of us we just kept ordering dishes to share until we got full.
Be transformed to your favorite snow capped mountain top where The Cabin awaits you. Cosy, relaxed and familiar, The Cabin will please all your senses. The staff are attentive without being in your face and offer a friendliness as if you were their AirBnB guest for the weekend. The food is well balanced and generous, while the beverage list has something to suit all tastes. Great for a night out with friends; or in our case the final interview with our (yet to be announced) new recruit!
The service was friendly and promt, the food was delicious and came out quickly, and the prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back!!!
A nice mix of tapas offerings and a good drinks list. Prices average for Perth. The spicy potatoes were a stand-out! We were surprised that the waitress hadn't tried many of the dishes and had trouble making recommendations - don't they do staff tastings? Recommended for a catch-up with friends, you can hear each other here :)

The Cabin has become a favourite spot for Saturday lunches. The service is always friendly and the food tasty. This week we shared three dishes.
The buttermilk fried chicken with popcorn crumb, pickled celery, celeriac remoulade, blue cheese ranch was the stand out dish. The chicken was succulent and the combination of flavours and textures was like a party in your mouth, with lots going on but all the elements working perfectly together. A must try.
We also had the cucumber kimchi with smoked pork jowl, granny smith apple, puffed wild rice and lime zest. This was another dish that combined some unlikely elements that in combination packed a powerful punch. The pork jowl was deliciously chewy and crunchy, with extra crunch provided by the puffed wild rice. We couldn't taste the granny smith apple, but the kimchi and lime zest provided some real zing.
The last dish we tried was haloumi with fig, pink peppercorn pickle, honey and mint. This was a very clever dish that trod a fine line between sweet and savoury and could easily become a dessert with a little tinkering of the ingredients. All of the dishes were washed down with a very nice, crisp Riesling.
While we only ordered three of the smaller bites, it was more than enough for the two of us.
It had been many a year since I'd been to The Cabin after a lacklustre experience with poor service and average food. I'm glad my sister dragged me back there because it was by and far a completely different experience.
On a busy Friday night the service was attentive, so attentive in fact they gave us complementary olives because they felt they had ignored us.
$12 cocktails on a Friday? Yes please. There are four to choose from. My sisters opted for a French Martini that was on point and I had a Lavender Collins that was heavy on the lemon kick with an undertone of lavender.
The food is designed to be shared but is to tasty to do so. Except the Snickers in Jar, that is one rich mousse dessert that not even the biggest peanut butter fan could conquer on their own.
We had a lovely mid-week dinner here last Wednesday. The staff were very attentive and friendly, very accommodating with wine tasters before the final decision! Lovely warm "wooden" decor, a bit kitsch but can imagine a cosy night here in winter.
We started with a very generous and tasty serving of olives and a mutton chorizo, followed by vanilla and peach scallops, buffalo meatballs (real buffalo!!) and a serving of bread to mop up the sauce.
Overall a great experience, will be back when we are in the area. Look out for the nightly specials and special events they put on, look interesting.
A good place to eat and drink with good company. food was delicious, cocktails on point and wine super smooth. all of this topped off with good service. thankyou ☺
Great atmosphere, and works well as a wine bar. Don't go there expecting any beer or cider on tap. Everything is bottled. They do have a cool deal though; 1kg of chicken wings free with every 4 ciders purchased.
I often find most Tapas food to be overpriced, hence not great value for money. Although the food menu at The Cabin is somewhat on the pricey side, the food was tasty and beautifully presented. Flavours are well thought out and care was taken for each small element on the dishes. The gnocchi pops and quail breast kievs were definite winners. I will most definitely be back!
I love love love the Long Island iced teas here. After the first drink, there's no need to remind wait staff that I like it with lime instead of lemon and Cointreau not triple sec.
The meats board is sooooooo pretty and at the same time messy lol! There's always plenty of dishes to choose from. I hardly order dessert as they tend to have nuts or dairy based.
It's a great spot to drink the night away - cosy in winter and perfect on summer balmy nights.
Love it but can be pricey. The tapas is amazing and the atmosphere is great. Would be great to have some alternatives in price for a casual drink and eats as well as the more upmarket choices.
Very romantic little bar to grab some food with your partner. Would recommend the pulled lamb nachos don't bother going for the cold meat platter, looks very decorative and beautiful but majority pickles and meats which we cheap and not nice.
So glad the cabins new menu is awesome. Heaps of gluten free options, great service and delicious food. Only negative would be the popcorn chicken was quite dry. Reasonable prices and good wine selection. Will definitely be back!
Ze cabin. It's an interesting spot filled with my fav taxidermy friends. I did honestly feel as though I was in the alps or more realistically in Victoria! But yes a good job on decor. Food was good. Not amazing but good. I'll go back .
For the very first Perth Food Underground dinner, a mix of our regulars (that did not know each other previously - which is kind of the point of the PFU Project) hit up the Paddington Ale House for a pre-dinner drink and then the Cabin for an evening of getting-to-know-you food. The Cabin smashed it - and was able to impress us almost as much as 'the Paddo' didn't.
Yum! Popped in for a quick farewell lunch and. Had the $25 lunch special and ate like kings! 3 little courses of deliciousness and the service was faultless.
We went there a couple of weeks ago. The food was excellent, as was the placing. Service was fast and friendly. Only down side was food didnt arrive together resulting in mismatched eating.
Have visited twice in the last month and both times the food has been outstanding. Standouts.....Brisket Croquets w/ potato pancake, smoked pork cheek w/ Apple & morcilla, truffled Jerusalem artichokes, buttermilk fried chicken w/ celeriac remoulade and the most incredible mutton w/ puffed barley & barley risotto which has just come on the menu.....no joke , it's the best dish I've eaten in a while! Dessert, I find it hard to get past the smashed brownie, picked orange, fired marshmallows and coffee anglais. The chefs are doing some amazing stuff here, right out of the box and v. Clever.....
Fantastic lunch service and menu. Wow. We just went to the Cabin Bar for a lunch special - we had a fast and polite call back from our booking (a little fussy as with two very pregnant women we needed regular chairs!) and the menu was FANTASTIC, the lunch special is basically the most reasonably priced, most delicious degustation in Perth. Great service, constant water refills, great timing on dishes and no interruptions to our chats. OUTSTANDING. It was about $65 for two...but that was four courses each plus drinks over about three hours. We had spicy cashews, marinated olives, arinchini balls, delicious chicken wings, noodle and pork and corn salad, lovely ribs - all big enough to share AND peanut butter cups with sea salt and chocolate ganache each for dessert. I can't recommend it highly enough. We will be back!
Had a mid week casual work dinner for 15 people on the balcony. Great location. Great vibe. Great wine. Every food dish was delish and service was a treat. Thanks Stewart and Alf for looking after us. Good times all round.
Presentation and so much more.. Have just arrived home from a long Sunday lunch at The Cabin. Relaxed ambience outside on the balcony with a warm breeze blowing. The standout at this visit was definitely the food. 4 of us shared the pate, squid, tacos and my favourite, the haloumi with strawberries, which sounds like an unusual combination but boy did it work! Chef Melissa clearly puts a lot of love and passion into the dishes she serves and the precision in the presentation down to the smallest detail even had me taking a photo of the dish (a pastime usually reserved for the hipsters) as the colours were just too gorgeous not to. Would definitely recommend this bar for casual relaxed dining especially with the cooler weather. Sitting outside sharing such delicacies with friends had me feeling good to be alive! Oh and the desserts were great too, a little on the rich side so quite a bit was left over, if you're not a sweet tooth, maybe go the cheese platter.
Loved the sunset. Caught a great sunset the other night. It's great being on the second floor, removed from the cars and the regular shops/supermarket on the Scarborough Beach Rd strip. Staff are friendly and efficient. For a small bar, there is lots of room and generally pretty easy to get a table. Even when busy it feels like you have privacy when having a conversation with friends. Yes, the prices are on the high side, but if you choose wisely, there are some great menu items to enjoy and the quality is first class. Love the decor. Recommended.
Great spot. I like this place. But sometimes they forget about you so you have to keep going inside to request service which is annoying. Good olives!
Great food, terrific atmosphere but some items are a bit pricy. Don't know about going away hungry though?Surely the days of veal parmi hanging over the side of a plate are gone?
We dropped into the cabin for a late dinner on a Saturday night, the vibe of the place was cosy and enough people to make it buzz. We were seated outside which was closed off from the elements, we sampled three "small dishes" the quail Kiev which was moist and flavorsome with a big dill mayo hit, the crab balls and rice which was a tasty morsel and the gnocchi which was a good idea but lacked a punch. The dishes we tasted had great flavors but we felt they lacked seasoning especially the gnocchi. Dishes are quite pricey for what you get but still we had a nice time and the service and wine list was good too. We would recommend this place and would happily return, with a salt grinder :p
P.s the snickers in the glass (pictured) is my favourite desert in Perth!!! So good!!

Pretty Good!. I've been here twice now and I've got to say I like the joint. They really got the atmosphere right in that you really feel like you're in a cabin when you walk in the door. Loved the venue, the service was excellent and the food was very yum! Only thing I ever had a bit of an issue with is how the food arrives to the table. As a tapas restaurant, nothing comes out at the same time really (unless you happen to order certain dishes), which is fine if I had been told that the first time I came. However, my sister and I were a bit puzzled when two dishes came out and the third never arrived till quite a while after we had finished our first two dishes (and the one we were waiting on was only a fried type of fish which really shouldn't have taken long). The second time I went I went with my family and we all ordered about 5 dishes between us. Thankfully, this time we were told the dishes would come out at different times but it still seemed a bit weird that the kitchen couldn't manage to send them out in a smaller time frame seeing as we came when the venue was very quite. The dishes came out very slowly one by one which made it very hard to have a "meal" with the family; some members are done eating while others are still waiting for their dishes to come out. I know the kitchen is rather small, I just think they could better time their dishes so there is not as big of a waiting period between dishes. All in all the venue is lovely, I really have enjoyed both times I have eaten there, I just think if you're going be warned that its really more of a sharing place you might go with a friend rather than a place you can go have dinner with someone as it's highly likely one of you will be done eating before the other one's dish comes out.
Great service & tasty food. Visited The Cabin last night for the first time with a couple of friends. We were all extremely impressed with the attentive and very helpful service. The food was so tasty and the perfect size for sharing. We particularly liked the pulled lamb shank (recommended by the waitress) - it was melt in the mouth. We ordered five dishes to share and left there feeling full. Will definitely return again - it's a great place to catch up with friends.
Cozy and comfortable. I visited The Cabin for the first time with some friends on Saturday 9th August. Was impressed with the cozy and comfortable atmosphere, the friendly and efficient service and the delicious food.
YUM. YUM. YUM!. Cosy, awesome atmosphere, great service and brilliant food. A bit on the expensive side considering the portion sizes, but the food itself is outstanding.
Winter Drinks. The good - sitting by the fire on the lounges, the wine, brussel sprouts, Snickers in a glass. The atmosphere is great for a cold winter night.
The meh - the turkey tacos, the squid (the sauce was great it was let down by the chewy squid), the service was inconsistent as it was quite busy.
The bad - the pork belly wasn't good enough and is overpriced.
Great food and atmosphere. Perfect spot on a winters night! loved the decor, cosy couches, fire place and raw wood tables!
food was great! the rabbit dumplings and lamb tacos were stand outs!! Snickers in a glass my fav for dessert! definatley will be going back
Had a wonderful night out here. Food was great, cocktails were gorgeous and the vibe was exactly what I love. I had an awesome birthday here and highly recommend a night out with friends, no more than 6 people. Bit pricey but unique food - all delicious.
The food, staff and drinks were 100% spot on! What a beautiful cosy little place to enjoy fantastic food! Definitely a new favourite. For anyone with a sweet tooth the citron cake with marshmallow is a must!
Cute cosy and friendly atmosphere, food that excites the eye and palette. Staff are very attentive and accommodating. I highly recommend this venue for a relaxed evening filled with great food and wine. Simply fresh yet gourmet to a T can't wait to come back
Great local spot for wine and meals. Have had several birthdays here happily. The food is beautiful, and space is stunning.

Hidden gem. Dined here tonight and have to say, it was delightful. From the moment we stepped inside, the service was attentive but not over bearing (one waitress in particular was very good) and the food was incredible. My sister and I said at the end of the meal, each dish is a couple of dollars more than where we would normally dine, but when every dish is delicious, you don't mind paying that bit extra. Clearly the people in Mt Hawthorn agree as the restaurant was more than half full when we arrived close to seven, and upon exiting around half eight, more patrons were coming in (on a Wednesday night).
Chose the scallops, pork fillet, squid and rissoles and all were full of flavour, nicely complementing one another. Ordered a serve of bread which was a good choice to eat with the squid that was swimming in a tomato based chilli sauce. The scallops were nicely cooked with a light buttery sauce, and the rissoles were really good, with lightly spiced seasoning. The pork fillet was a generous serve for two and the meat was tender and marinated in a sweet ginger.
Dessert we shared the ginger cheesecake and had a peanut butter cup each - fantastic, washed down with an English breakfast and peppermint tea.
All up the bill came to $116 which was on the pricer side but well worth it for food you just can't create at home. Will be heading back here again soon.
Really enjoyed dinner here. Three of us dined outside and given a torch to read menu as quite dark but I like the ambience. Good gluten free options for my friend. Pork fillet was our favourite dish of the night. Good service too
Lovely!
The food we had on Saturday was just gorgeous!
Southern fried rabbit on a steamed bun.....sensational!
Lamb neck tacos & a venison slider!
Definitely worth going and don't be put off by the portion size they are very satisfying!
Funky, friendly and a great atmosphere. Food was outstanding especially the squid. Wine is a little pricey with no the cheapest bottle of red being about $44. Having said that it is well worth the price tag. My new fav place.
Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere although food is very pricey for portion sizes
Thank you for having vegan options. Ridiculously delicious food!!! :-)
This was my old review from 2 years ago: Best New Year's Eve ever. Best food, so creative and delicious. Best staff, so attentive and friendly. Best music. Best fun! Thanks so much!!
Very unique interior. Food were different than usual, but tasty. Didnt order dessert coz they dont sound appealing. It was a good night after all.
Had dinner here on a Friday night. Staff were super friendly, kept topping up water, prompt & generally chatting to myself and my friend.
The food was superb. Small dishes but it is a tapas bar. Really nice ambience. Will definitely return soon.
The cocktails were also delish!!
Ladies lunch. Perfect for lunch with the ladies. The $35 lunch offer is very good value. Everyone picks three savoury dishes and a dessert. The small plates are perfect to share and means you get to try many of the dishes. Good food, atmosphere and service.
Great service. Food possibly overpriced.. We found on a Saturday night to have fantastic service, for a group of about 10. A great vibe and friendly, obliging staff. The food was tasty but rather overpriced for portions but Perth has this complaint a lot.
A local favorite... Love the atmosphere, best pimms ive had in perth, friendly staff and very attentive in regards to accessibility needs- thumbs up
Excellent spot. Either for a romantic dinner or drink with mates. Great food and good friendly service.
Absolutely amazing.... Had the pulled pork pancakes, beef shin tacos, soft shell crab slider and duck dog, it was all very tasty.... Best meal I've had in a long time. And service was also amazing, waitress knew every dish and was super polite and friendly
Good food, hard to get it. This was the first time I've been here. Cosy dining room, tasty food and the mulled wine was very good. Only complaint was that the service was very hard to get. The staff seem to almost avoid eye contact, so you end up waving, calling out, grabbing someones elbow as they rush past. I noticed nearby diners having the same problem, which is a shame because once you have someones attention they're very friendly.
What can I say? Some of the best tapas style food in Perth.
Great Tapa's. Love Love Love the food at The Cabin - there tapa's are amazing! however the service has been a bit hit and miss, We have either received really good service or really bad service - but we keep going back for the food! so that's saying something!!
Cosy and intimate bar with homely yet classy decor. Great place for a wine and a bite to eat. Generally friendly staff although I have had the occasional grouch serving us during visits over tje last year or so. Recommend the cabin during winter for a couple or a small group or a larger group during summer when the balcony isn't so cold. Definitely going back.
Amazing. Recently went for my second visit. Had a Duck Dog. Now I want to go back just to have another 10 Duck Dogs - they are that good. I don't think they have any bad items on the menu, just beware the snickers dessert - it is quiiite rich. The brioche pudding & butterscotch sauce was otherworldly.
Both visits, I experienced fast, friendly, and polite service. This latest visit, we were under the care of an exceptionally attentive and amicable bespectacled young man, who made our whole dining experience just that much better.
It's a shame that other reviewers have had sub-par service, but I can only speak from my own experience and say that The Cabin staff are as good as the food - and that is bloody good!
Wow!! what cool little find this place is. My fiancé booked to come here and from the minute I stepped in, we felt warm and relaxed! The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this place.
Such a pleasant place! The food is delicious and service very friendly. Will definitely return!
Perfect!. Perfect spot for lunch on a cold day. Great atmosphere, warm, comfortable and very welcoming.
Hubby and I brought our 4 month old bub here for lunch today and had a really really lovely time. The staff were all great, perfect level of attentive and friendly without being too much.
Food was incredibly good. Roasted pumpkin with miso and sesame and bacon was so warm and rich and the flavours balanced perfectly - stand out dish of the day. Scallops with pesto and goat pepperoni were good, cooked nicely, nice flavours, beef shin tacos were really lovely, perfect level of spice and gooey soft meat, lamb pasties were also fantastic - possibly the nicest pastry I've ever tasted. The snickers in a glass was the yummiest, thickest, naughtiest dessert I've had in a while.
Was very pleased that this place isn't just gimicky and backs up a fun concept with really great food. The mulled wine was delicious too - and the baby stayed happy the whole meal! Winning.
Big glass of red wine, snickers in a glass and a game of Connect 4 on a couch. Enough said. This place is perfect. I regularly go here and will continue too!
The cabin small bar is amazing!! The wait staff are so friendly and know there stuff, always there to awnser any questions about wines food or beers. Highly recomened place to go! The food is 10/10 the chefs are well qualified and will do anything to your liking, if your in perth its a must place to go! Keep it up.
Brilliant. I love this place, dine there regularly. Great service, wonderful, interesting, fresh food prepared with love and a fantastic wine list. Fantastic atmosphere also. I love the lamb chunks and quail kiev particularly. Have also attended some of the Cabin's degustation events. Outstanding food so wonderfully matched with the wines. Sunday cocktails for $10.00 from 3.00pm should not be missed!
This place is amazing! Great drinks and food. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
A good evening at the cosy Cabin. Visited The Cabin last Friday evening and expected it to be fairly full and was suprised that it was reasonably quiet. The atmosphere was still fine though.
My wife and I sampled a handful of small plates. We kicked off with the selection of bread with EVOO and balsamic and found some of the bread a bit on the stale side. Things quickly picked up with the braised beef taco, pickled veg and jalepeno which was delicious with an amazing flavour to it.
The halloumi, watermelon and mint dish made for a great combo and was a suprising hit. Next followed lamb lettuce cups with mint, peanuts and chilli was nice but we expected a bit more although pleasant enough.
Rounded off the evening with the awesome 'Snickers in a glass'. Doesn't need too much explanation that one, only to say it's very tasty!
The wine list was decent and service excellent. I for one can't wait to return to try more of the fare on offer. Good stuff!
We really enjoyed it under new ownership. Food was good (great menu), service was great. We would return. The only put off is we've noticed is there are more children around which is not what we want when trying to relax. Previously this was an 'over 21' venue.
Great service and delicious food. Too many faves - yabbie popcorn was divine, as was crab slider (tastes better than it sounds - mini burger with soft shell crab and spicy slaw - yum!), the venison ribs were melt in the mouth, ooh and the ceviche snapper delicious.
Small bar with big heart. Found the cabin six months ago and its amazing ,
have been breakfast... great!!! great bloody mary too
been for dinner and tapas many times and am never disappointed , the chef sure knows her stuff
must try the quail !!!!
service is very attentive and friendly ....
Came here tonight for team function and had a great long table under the stars. So impressed with food in particular smoked duck breast with fresh fig, Spanish style calamari dish, delicious fig tarte tatin. Some other fishes were a huge muss such a tasteless dry lamb balls. the sweet potatoes were a hit with the girls. The $10 cocktails were also a great hit but took forever to come 15-20minutes. So the 6-7pm happy hour is really a 2 cocktail affair if you're lucky. Somewhat frantic service where you can't understand the thick northern Irish accent, seriously understaffed venue. Could be amazing. I haven't been here for at least a year & half and the service much to my disappointment is short on the ground. Please hire more staff?
Thank Goodness. Thankfully, the Cabin has new owners since the last time we went. The menu is great, the atmosphere is convivial and the value is there. A standout was the boneless chicken wings with adobo sauce. Cracker. Only disappointment was the lamb ribs - maybe need more time marinating so the flavour goes right through the meat. Only a marginal distraction from a great experience.
Amazing food, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend getting a group of friends together, head to the cabin and graze the day away. Will definitely be going back
Tapas satisfaction. Have now been 4 times to the cabin, with the most recent being last wednesday with another couple.
love the cosy atmosphere, feels like a real cabin! great spot for a cold winters night but also look forward to the warmer months having a cocktail on the balcony. dim lighting which is great!
I like how the menu is broken down into small, smaller, bigger sized dishes. so you have an idea of the size of the dish when you order.
service has been excellent each visit
4 for dinner, plus quite a few drinks and dishes including desserts = $300
cherry cola ribs the fav dish! (the bonefree chicken wings are pretty special too!)
Great atmosphere. Love the cosy and intimate vibe, the food is always great and the staff friendly. Please never close, we love having you as our local.
Some great food. Go for the cherry cola ribs - $30 for 3, which some may say is pricey, but the meat comes right off the bone and tasted delicious.
Don't believe they have tap beers, which was odd.
Also try the snickers in a cup! So good!
Go if you want a few small bits to eat.
We ventured into The Cabin not realizing that not only is it a bar, but a amazing restaurant. The food is top quality and extremely creative and original. The wild hog pie and the chicken wings were our favorites and most of the food will not disappoint. The only con we found was the beetroot salad was not worth the money. The salad was too small and not very enjoyable. Some may find this place expensive, we felt it was great value. We will return to this bar/restaurant anytime. Highly recommend.
Enjoyable evening!. I'm a Mt Hawthorn resident so love seeing our eateries develop...The Cabin certainly has evolved lots of character + style recently. Went with 3 other "mature" girlfriends and loved the buzzy atmosphere and young professionals in the crowd. We enjoyed the quail "dude food", squid, breads, pork dumplings, spicy potatoes, baby beet + Margaret River chardonnay. Had room for a rhubarb + apple pudding made with filo pastry for a sweet treat too. Good service, hip surroundings. Fun + made me and my group of ladies feel good! Well done!
Food portions are small and at first look disappointing but are delicious. I recommend the cherry cola ribs. Service was a bit poor don't bother with the smaller eats like pork crackling, they looke like they came out of a packet. Great if you want to go somewhere to chat, eat and booze
The food at the cabin was beautiful! My favourites would be the boneless chicken and the quail kievs. The only negative would be the dishes are quite small so not a good place for the big eater

Fabulous. Popped in here Saturday afternoon for a late lunch which turned into an early dinner (we ordered WAY too much). Our server was lovely, friendly and extremely attentive. I had been here before with some friends and remembered liking it, but my most recent visit was incredible. We shared several dishes including the pork dumplings with pear, which were fresh and full of flavour, the piri piri flash fried squid, which was quite honestly, the best booked squid I have ever tasted. I am always skeptical choosing squid for fear that it will be over cooked, not the case. Beautiful, tender and again, immensely flavourful. We also shared the cauliflower brik which was a nice warm winter dish, and finally the cola bbq ribs! The ribs were HUGE, they fell off the bone, and tasted amazing, definitely the showstopper for us. We tried our best to finish everything off (by the way, there were two of us), but just couldn't manage. Having just moved into the area, this will definitely become a regular for us.
Atmospheric place. Good staff. Nice mulled wine. Fabulous little dumplings. Overall 9/10. Minus one for occasional bad art and misplaced trinketty crap. Bless.
Great service, amazing food may be pricey but well worth it :)
Great place to come with friends - would come back
Fantastic small bar. I have been to the cabin many times and standard of food is always high. I recently had the pork belly and a tasting plate. Both were great except for the tasting plate which I thought was either a bit too expensive for what it was or it simply needed more on it. Other than it was a nice evening by the fireplace on a wintery night, I recommend that you must try the Cabin!
Very nice little place. Service was good, nice people. Nice food and very nice wine. Would recommend. :)
Nice duck. Had a New York potato dish - like a warm salad - plenty of vinegar - but it was just like I make at home.
The crispy duck was good, but the vinegar it was drowned in overpowered it - too much!
The cocktail I had was meant to have lychee but had passion-fruit pulp instead as a substitute (I ok'd it), but it tasted like Passiona, not really worth it.
Great service, and don't get me wrong I liked the dark vinegar to power through the fatty duck, but it just overwhelmed the duck flavor - good idea, but it needs a tweak.. maybe a vinegar reduction thick sauce you can dab the duck with?
Sensational Citrus Martini, gorgeous hosts and lovely ambience...

We’d booked for when they opened and settled in for a leisurely Sunday brunch with a couple of friends. Every weekend they offer a select few dishes just for brunch, but you’re also able to order whatever you like of the tapas menu.
Finally, espresso martini in hand, I found myself in the cosy ski lodge style cabin. You can sit indoors on a Chesterfield sofa (whilst being overlooked by a deer head) or outside on the wrap-around balcony.
I've eaten here a few years ago when it had a different owner (apparently?) and the menu was the likes of things such as slow cooked rabbit pasta. I enjoyed it well enough but never returned as there have been so many other places to try too. But this new tapas menu is something incredibly special!

Love the décor and general feel of The Cabin. The music wasn't blasting so it is great place to catch up with friends, as you're not limited to shouting in the ear of the person next to you.
