This was our fourth time to Balthazar over the last 3-4 years -we go whenever we are in Perth. I think the first time was the most memorable. Still great food, great wine choices. Not cheap but we knew that. Maybe they try too hard to be funky as well with the moody lighting etc but the thing that struck... More

My husband and I went to Balthazar last week for our anniversary, and what a wonderful and special night we had. Our waiterJarrad was the best waiter we have ever had attentive but not over the top, he did a great job explaining the food and an ever better job with helping us match our meal choices with the wine....

We dined here after a recommendation from a friend......the bar looks great although we sat down immediately and found the service to be excellent.....help with both wine and food selection...beautifully presented and balanced food......music could be turned down a notch but highly recommend for fine dining in the center of the (very small) Perth City environs.

I dined for lunch at Balthazar with some friends last week. The location is convenient & we were seated promptly upon arrival. It was very pleasing to have linen tablecloths - a rarity in Perth!!! Beverage service was below average - our entrees arrived before the drinks order was taken, and it was only taken because I asked to order.... More

I love this place, food is top quality although the menu doesn't give you really any idea of how the meal will come out but it's always a pleasant surprise and I can highly recommend the Carpe Diem wines they have on their very extensive wine list. Definitely not cheap but worth every cent! More

It is probably a victim of its own reputation. Lots of good to like about the place - it is quite unusual for Perth in being "old school" in style. Somehow the whole experience doesn't quite work for me. The menu doesn't read well, great wine list, food patchy (some great, some very average). Worst for me was a server... More
