Frequently Asked Questions
Where should we eat on Rokeby Road for a romantic dinner?
Rokeby Road itself has excellent options depending on your vibe—Watershed for modern Australian with an intimate upstairs section, or Petition Beer Corner if you want craft beers paired with share plates in a cosy setting. For Italian romance, head to nearby Leederville (just across the border) for Long Chim or stay on Rokeby for smaller, quieter venues. Book ahead, especially weekends—Rokeby Road tables fill fast, and restaurants here tend to pace a proper dinner rather than rush you through.
Is Subiaco easy to get to, and where should we park?
Subiaco Station is on the Fremantle line, making it a stress-free date option if you want to avoid driving—grab a train and walk straight onto Rokeby Road. If you're driving, street parking around Rokeby Road is available but can be tight on Friday and Saturday nights; arrive before 7pm or use the car parks near Subiaco Pavilion. The walk from the station or car park adds to the experience—it's all tree-lined streets and village-like atmosphere.
What can we do after dinner in Subiaco?
Rokeby Road has bars and wine spots perfect for extending the evening—grab a nightcap at one of the quieter venues rather than jumping to Northbridge. The Subiaco Hotel or smaller cocktail bars nearby offer that candlelit, low-key continuation. If you want to walk it off, the tree-lined streets around Subiaco are genuinely pleasant at night. Save the late-night crowds for another trip—Subiaco is about savouring the moment, not moving quickly to the next thing.
