Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Australia's best garlic prawns arrive preceded by a wafting cloud of sizzling garlic. The Cauldron has twice been voted as Perth's favorite restaurant. Started in a single room in 1971, its owners Geoff and Tanis Gosling have expanded it into a large double-story establishment but without compromising style or standards. They have even bought some street-side parking bays, effectively extending the restaurant right across the sidewalk. Numerous witches, including political cartoons, adorn the walls and ceilings without being kitsch. One feature is a series of circular banquettes for cozy dining for groups of four to six. Service is brisk, friendly, and efficient. Besides the garlic prawns there's an emphasis on simple cooking of quality fish and steak. Try tournedos chasseur or cobbler (or dhufish) meuniere. Also open for breakfast (but without garlic prawns).
