Don Ignacio
You won't spot any tourists or foreigners at this traditional neighborhood bodegón. Instead, you'll find locals stuffing face with the coveted Milanesa Napolitana. A juicy piece of chicken breast is pounded then, drenched in bread crumbs, deep fried and topped with ham, tomato sauce and melted cheese.

Pony Line
While Polo Line, with its stylish décor reminiscence of Argentinean polo, is primarily a bar, the menu boasts an array of small bites and succulent desserts. Among the house specialties is the 45-day dry aged hamburger. Beef, made into a mega fatty patty, is grilled medium-rare, then topped with homemade pickle relish, crunchy lettuce, tomato slice and homemade aioli. One bite will send you to burger heaven.

Hermosa Wembley
Hermosa Cantina, a new addition in Perth, has proved to be a popular venue, with tapas-style dining day and night, plus a diverse breakfast menu to choose from. Owned by the same people behind Perth hot spot Tropico, their tapas dish of smoked hock and morcilla croquette with heirloom carrot escabeche is an inventive and delicious offering. It is crisp, meaty and perfectly seasoned and its bright and attractive flavors will dance on your tongue.

Short Order Burger Co.
When it comes to burgers, Short Order Burger Co might be a pop-up, but they're setting the benchmark for what a great burger should be. The buns are toasted on the inside but still squishy. The beef patties are well seasoned and cooked medium-rare. Everyone who tries it falls in love with their maple glazed bacon and melted cheddar cheese. Plus, they have crunchy dill pickles inside. Be warned: These burgers sell out quickly, so aim to get there at 6 p.m. on the dot. Then, prepare to wait for your food and a table (you may end up standing to eat).

The Honeycake
The Honeycake makes one thing, they make it ridiculously well and the name says it all. Inspired by a centuries-old Bohemian recipe, their cake is a delicious combination of light honey flavored layers and smooth milky caramel filling topped with ground walnuts. Even for those who don't love honey, they'll fall l deeply in love with this magnificent pasty.

NAO Japanese Ramen
Nao Ramen is an institution when it comes to ramen in Perth. It attracts hoards of diners each day, blocking the doorway and waiting patiently for a table. The ramen is easily worth the time investment, with gigantic steaming bowls of noodles (plain, spinach or chilli) swimming in umami rich broth. Accompanied by bean sprouts, bamboo, spring onion, wakame, nori and a slice of chashu, this is a rich and beautiful dish layered in flavour.

Pinchos
Pinchos means “to spike,” to savor, laugh, drink and, most importantly, devour. This little pinchos bar in the hub of Leederville offers a taste of Spain to passersby with food items on a stick and larger tapas dishes designed to share. The smoked ham and chicken croquettes are deliciously creamy and come in a convenient set of three - just the right amount for some indulgent crunching.

The Standard
One of Perth's best kitchen bars, The Standard is funky, contemporary and welcoming. The food is clever and presents familiar flavors while feeling fresh and innovative. The outdoor beer garden is fantastic for a cheeky beverage in the sun while snacking on their share menu. Don't miss the beef carpaccio with harissa cream and Pedro Ximenez caviar.

Lola
While trendy, this is much more than a restaurant in which to see and be seen. Whether you choose to dine casually on the terrace or under a sparkling chandelier, plates and flavors are uniquely arranged with an attention to detail and good taste. Among the house specialties are the Italian pastas. The sweet, delicate spicy pumpkin tortelloni are filled with ricotta cheese, topped with crunchy pralines and served in a golden butter and sage sauce. Don't miss it.

Avila Burger, El Hatillo, Caracas
These burger shops offer products with names that recall various areas of El Avila, the beautiful mountain that marks the north of Caracas. The first Avila Burger was founded in the emblematic Hotel Avila. Now, there are six stores. The one at Paseo El Hatillo Mall is perfect for midnight cravings. The favorite burger is called the Gate of Hercules, with bread that recalls a German pretzel and a delicious soft goat cheese mixed with a special jam that highlights the typical Venezuelan ají dulce or sweet pepper. Salty pickles provide excellent balance with the cheese and peppers and arugula gives a sour point to the burger.
