“Perfection”
Review of Shadow Wine Bar

Shadow Wine Bar

Restaurant details
Neighbourhood: Perth CBD
Description: Set behind a classic 1950’s facade, Shadow’s grand vaulted dining room bridges the gap between fondly remembered Italian restaurants and a new wave of creativity. From an afternoon aperitivo to something a little more serious after dark, Shadow is a haven to escape the bustle of Northbridge and relax into classic Italian fare, cocktails and a carefully curated wine list. Nestled in the heart of the arts precinct, we love and support our vibrant neighbourhood whilst also being the perfect retreat for pre- or post-show drinks and dining.

Extraordinary food - freshest of oysters, delicately spiced beef tartare, char grilled octopus, veal cotoletta and the lightest gnocchi on the planet. Service helpful and well informed. Good wine/cocktail list. Calming aesthetic

An absolute delight of tastes and textures.
My husband and I dined here for a spontaneous lunch last week.
Poor signage made it hard to find, but once in the door warmly welcomed by attentive staff.
The menu not extensive, but the dishes we chose were amazingly well presented and delicious.
Kingfish, pickled kohlrabi, and chilli oil.
Zucchini Parmesan custard, agridolce with almonds, so good.
Baby capsicums, stracciatella, pistachio verde and popping pomegranate, yum
A filet mignon, perfectly cooked presented with confit potato,
Shimeji mushrooms and green chilli, was my husbands favourite, saying he’d come back any day for a steak that well cooked.
He chose the Caramelised white chocolate parfait with cherries and macadamia for desserts and was very pleased he did.
Really was a beautiful lunch, thank you

Had a wonderful meal topped off by my favourite Pear Tarte Tartin. Staff very discreet and friendly efficient. Only one whinge. We went to celebrate Valentine's Day, like most of the many couples there no doubt, but there was no acknowledgement whatsoever of the annual event which must have brought the restaurant lots of extra bookings on a Monday evening. No roses, heart shaped choccies or table decorations to be seen! A disappointment as the rest of the town was full of hearts! I don't think i have ever been to a restaurant on Valentine's that has made no effort at all to acknowledge it. 🤔 Will definitely visit again though as it was still a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

This was part of the Alex Hotel and reflects the same vibe. Great ambience, superb wine list and excellent service.
