We booked dinner at Balthazar to celebrate our anniversary. I chose the restaurant based on its good reviews on Urban Spoon (restaurant review site) and elsewhere online. The menu was inventive and different and the food was excellent. The service was very good although at times a little slow (the restaurant was full though) but we definitely felt well looked... More

Nice atmosphere and creative food. I had the pork belly and the duck breast. Both nicely combined with sweetish sauces.

I dined in Balthazar this week for the second time. My previous visit was in 2004, soon after it opened, and on both occasions the food was outstanding and the service was excellent. I had the pork belly entree and snapper for my main. both were delicious. We asked the waiter to suggest wine and our party of eight were... More

Returned to Balthazar after 5 years and it was as good as I remembered it to be. Portions can be a bit small but the food was still innovative, well cooked and superbly presented. Service was attentive but not intrusive and the fact that it was full on a Thursday night is testament to its popularity.

We went to dinner with a group of friends and chose the place because it rated highly on a number of online review sites - and it was a winner. The atmosphere was cosy and the service was friendly without being overbearing. Each member of the group enjoyed their food, most were raving about it. The vegetarian quinoa dish I... More

My wife and I went there for my birthday just over a week ago. The atmosphere was good and the food selection was alright. We ordered crab with squid ink and I had pork belly for entree. She almost puke on the food as it taste very salty and very smelly (yes! like a dead sea creature smell!). My pork... More

Love the cuisine and very different environment. Very romantic setting and if you need that extra intimate room, they do have a booking for private function for up to 10. Small area, but suits intimacy or for business dinner. Lovely menus and great staff.

It has become one of the main reasons we come on holiday to Perth ! The food is impeccably executed like in... More

My partner and I visited Balthazar for our third time last night (Valentines), it seems that every special occasion we go there because it is just too good not to! I don't actually have enough words to describe how much we love this place. I loved the candied apples with blue cheese aperetif we had last night, an amazing little... More
