The youthful Western Australian capital has grown to become one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the region. Due in part to a large student population, a vibrant entertainment scene has made Perth one of the best nights out in the country. After a little exploration, budget travelers and housemates in Perth can rejoice in the discovery of a number of excellent affordable dining options.
The laid-back city on the Western Australian coast has long been a gateway to Australia for many travelers. Easily connected with major Asian centers like Singapore and Hong Kong, Perth is often the most cost efficient way of getting ‘Down Under’.
It’s no surprise that the state capital managed to draw just under one million international visitors in 2018. Lined with sandy golden beaches, and easy access to some of the country’s most renowned vineyards, Perth has a lot to offer for all travelers. With a number of high profile sporting and entertainment events taking place this year, that statistic is expected to be beaten.
The sunny city on the coast of the Indian Ocean can be a dream for the budget traveler when putting in a little research. A flourishing hostel scene provides a wealth of inexpensive options for shared accommodation in Perth.
Some of the trendiest and most eclectic hostels in Perth include Spinners Backpackers, Hostel G, and Fremantle Prison YHA. Hostel G and Spinners Backpackers are located in the heart of the action in Northbridge, while Fremantle Prison YHA is in the historic town just to the south of the city center.
When it comes to food, Perth has some tantalizing affordable dining options. Below are a few restaurants and specials listed to keep the traveler’s wallet happy.
Federal Hotel, Fremantle
Fremantle was a hotbed of European migration after the Second World War and a Mediterranean vibe still resonates in the district home to many artists and musicians. Many coming to Perth choose to make the short tram ride south to check out what used to be the country’s largest maximum security prison, the Western Australia Maritime Museum, or one of its sandy white beaches.
Fremantle is a great way to spend a day on a trip to Perth and the Federal Hotel has long been a local favorite for a hearty meal. With $15 Chicken Parmigiana (or "Parmys" in Aussie speak) on Tuesday and $18 Steak and Pint on Fridays, it’s not hard to see why.
Alabama Song, Northbridge
An acclaimed whisky bar with over 120 types of bourbons, ryes, and scotches to choose from, Alabama Song is a touch of the southern United States in Australia. Their 50 cent wing nights on Wednesdays and Sundays is an ode to the renowned hospitality of the ‘Deep South’.
Lazy Lee Urban Eatery, Northbridge
A part of one of Perth accommodation’s most exciting new hostels, Hostel G, Lazy Lee Urban Eatery is causing a stir in the area. Where else in the city can you find a margherita pizza for only $8? With cheap drinks and burgers hovering somewhere between the $9 and $15 range, Lazy Lee’s is a budget traveler’s gem.
The Standard, CBD
Hawker Monday’s at The Standard have reached legendary status in Perth. For $20, diners are treated to an all-you-can-eat Asian dinner (the dish changes weekly) usually accompanied with local shellfish and fresh herbs. The deal even includes the first drink on the house.
Travelers to Perth need not worry about breaking that bank when looking to dine out in the Western Australian capital. With deals like these, visitors to the city will have more money to spend on other memorable experiences. With a calendar dotted by high profile sporting and entertainment events such as the Bledisloe Cup and Metallica’s World Wired tour, this year is an ideal time to visit the sunny city of Perth.
