Default Perth - worst restaurants...

Just to go along with PP's thread.

When I arrived here in 2005 I thought the food was great. Now I think it's very poor value in too many places. And yet still the crowds flock to these places.

Worst value for me?

Essex Restuarant in Fremantle.
Wild Fig in Waterman's

Folk go to such places i believe owing to there being limited options of what to do and where else to meet up with friends,etc.

Fast Eddy's on Murray Street. Went there in our first week. Quite possibly the worst meal I have ever eaten.

Three Legs is an unknown quantity at this point

The C Restaurant ... The views do not make up for the food.

I work in the same building and it's gash.

Saying that, I'm there for a power lunch this Friday.

Forgot about Trigg Island Cafe. How the hell that gets people through the doors I'll never know.

Been twice. Once had steak and chips which was.....pathetic. Second time went for cake and the cheesecake was so synthetic I thought it was made of Lego. Absolutely crap.

I actually quite like Wild Fig, yes it's overpriced but the foods pretty decent. The chocolate pudding is to die for. The one thing that lets it down though is the ridiculously slow service. Absolutely shocking.

Do you know one thing I can't stand about the place? The way that the staff handle the cakes with their bare hands.
Never use gloves and there's just a tokenistic use of tongs etc. I even saw one waitress last week get a bit of cake on her hands and lick her fingerr before carrying the plate and cake over to the table.

Have to agree with you there, they think the views (well to the river, the ones over North and East Perth leave a bit to be desired) make up for overpriced, small portions and tired decor.

My worst one recently was Zapata's in Freo. Not particularly expensive but the food was awful. Every dish tasted the same.

I'm with you 100% on that about the American Idiot manager/owner, never met such a false rude man in all my life (not in an amusing Basil Fawlty way), I will never set foot in the place again either
