Top 5 Restaurants in Scarborough
THE GRAND CASTLEScarborough is one of Perth’s most iconic coastal suburbs, golden sand, buzzing nightlife, and plenty of good food. On my recent visit, I set out to explore the top 5 restaurants in Scarborough that truly capture its laid-back yet vibrant vibe. From beachside bites to authentic international flavours, here are my favourites.
1. The Grand Castle
Whenever I think of great dining near Scarborough, my first stop is always The Grand Castle in Wembley. Just a short 10-minute drive away, this Indian restaurant is an absolute gem. The menu is filled with authentic dishes like rich Butter Chicken, flavourful Lamb Rogan Josh, and their famous Malai Kofta, soft potato and cheese dumplings in a velvety cashew-tomato sauce.
What makes The Grand Castle special is not just the food but the atmosphere. It’s perfect for casual dinners, family gatherings, or even private functions. As someone who’s tried Indian restaurants across Perth, I can confidently say this is the one that keeps me coming back. If you’re searching for the top restaurants in Scarborough, don’t miss this nearby treasure.
2. The Sandbar
Right on the Scarborough foreshore, The Sandbar is perfect if you want a relaxed beachside vibe. I loved sipping a cocktail while watching the sunset, and their seafood pasta was fresh and generous. It’s one of those places where you can easily spend hours.
3. La Capannina
For those who love Italian cuisine, La Capannina offers classic woodfired pizzas and fresh pasta with a stunning ocean view. The vibe is casual yet stylish – the perfect spot for a long lunch by the beach. Their prawn linguine was a standout for me.
4. El Grotto
Scarborough is also known for its nightlife, and El Grotto is the perfect mix of bar and restaurant. With Mexican street food and live music, it’s a fun place to start (or end) your night. The fish tacos and spicy margaritas were absolute winners.
5. The Peach Pit
If you’re after something a little more relaxed, The Peach Pit is a great choice. Burgers, wings, and craft beers dominate the menu, making it a casual favourite among locals. I tried their fried chicken burger, and it definitely hit the spot.
Final Thoughts
Scarborough’s food scene is all about variety – from relaxed beachside eats to lively bars and international flavours. For me, the journey always begins at The Grand Castle in Wembley, just minutes away, where authentic Indian cuisine and warm hospitality set the tone for a great night out.
