Duende plain frontage, Leederville.

Sleek, candlelit Duende occupies a quiet corner site just off the buzzing nexus of Leederville. Stellar, modern-accented and good-value tapas offer a compelling argument to make a meal of it. Or call in for a late-night glass of dessert wine and churros. The cocktails are particularly polished here too. The six-course chef's-selection menu makes so much sense ($55).
