Wednesday to Sunday 126A Hobart St, Mount Hawthorn

Winner, Best Bar Dining, WA Good Food Guide 2025

Most of it's cooked over fire.

Head chef and owner Sofika Boulton runs the kitchen. The bread is baked in-house every day and finished over the fire. Oysters, cured kangaroo, a kilo of beef T‑bone.

Sixteen cocktails, half of them on Republic of Fremantle spirits. The wine list is a booklet rather than a page: sparkling, white and orange, mostly Margaret River and the rest of WA, with France, Italy and Greece behind it.

A round loaf of Sonny's bread, blistered and charred in stripes from the grill and scattered with sea salt, on a floral plate beside a scoop of whipped butter.
Coals and open flame under the grill in the wood-fired kitchen at Sonny's.

It changes every week, so if something here is the reason you're coming, come this week.
