Frequently Asked Questions
Where should we actually eat on Rokeby Road to stay under $100?
Start with the smaller neighbourhood spots rather than the flagships—places likeElajas for Italian or Matilda Bay Brewing for something more casual will give you excellent food and drink without the fine-dining markup. Budget roughly $40-50 per head for mains and a drink, leaving room for shared entrées or a pre-dinner drink elsewhere. Book ahead; Rokeby Road gets busy Thursday through Saturday, and most places fill by 7pm.
Is there good parking, or should we take transport?
Street parking on Rokeby Road itself is tight, especially weekends. Your best bet is the Subiaco train station (two minutes' walk), which makes the whole night easier—no drink-driving stress, no parking hunting at 9pm. If you drive, arrive early (before 6:30pm) or use the Rokeby Centre car park and walk through. The neighbourhood is compact enough that you can comfortably walk between venues.
What if we want to do more than just dinner?
Start with drinks at one of the neighbourhood bars (Ashoka Lane Eatery has a great vibe without being loud), grab dinner at a mid-range spot on Rokeby, then finish at bars like Black Swan or one of the smaller wine bars tucked on side streets. The whole suburb is walkable, so you can easily move between venues without it feeling like a big production—perfect for a relaxed night that doesn't feel rushed.
