Pinchos

Top choice in Perth


Iberian-inspired good times constantly rock this corner location amid Leederville's many cafes, casual restaurants and bars. The must-have tapas are the pork-belly chicharrons and the Piedro Ximenez and blue-cheese mushrooms – they've never left the menu. Those and the beef cheeks are perfect drinking fodder with the attractively priced Spanish beer, wine, sherry and on-tap sangria.

The feed-me menu, from $39, is one of the best value in Perth.
