Mediterranean Flair Arrives in Perth CBD with New Greek Restaurant Farra
The vibrant essence of the Mediterranean is poised to infuse the Perth CBD as the Greek-inspired restaurant Farra prepares to open its doors this week. Nestled within the newly established HYDE hotel, Farra is set to debut on Sunday, March 1, bringing a touch of sun-soaked island cooking to the heart of the city.
Contemporary Greek Cuisine with a Local Twist
Farra will showcase a modern interpretation of Greek cuisine, firmly rooted in the rich traditions of Mediterranean culinary arts while highlighting Western Australian produce. The menu features an array of enticing dishes, including fire-kissed tomahawk steak, delicate mizithra dumplings adorned with zucchini blossoms, and succulent slow-roasted lamb. Each offering is designed to evoke the leisurely, shared dining experiences characteristic of Greek culture.
From house-baked bread to classic accompaniments like tzatziki and taramasalata, the restaurant pays homage to the Greek custom of enjoying food at every hour. This is complemented by an extensive selection of wines and cocktails, encouraging guests to savor their meals at their own pace.
A Focus on Connection and Joy
Executive chef Aaron Moore, who hails from Ireland, emphasizes that the core of Farra lies in fostering connections through food. I love seeing friends share plates, chat, laugh, and really enjoy the moment, Mr. Moore said. That sense of joy and connection is what we try to bring to every dish. The restaurant aims to create an atmosphere where hospitality feels natural and unforced, as highlighted by venue manager Natasha Rowe.
Ms. Rowe, with experience in Melbourne and New York, notes that Farra will offer a west coast calm ambiance, providing a full dining experience for both restaurant patrons and hotel guests. FARRA is a place where hospitality feels natural, not forced, she explained. It is about warmth, connection, and creating moments that people remember long after they leave.
Expansive Venue and Extended Hours
The restaurant will span multiple areas within the HYDE hotel, including a dining room, poolside bar, and terrace, further embedding its Mediterranean spirit into the urban landscape. Dining at Farra will extend from early morning breakfast to late-night meals, with the CBD lights adding to the enchanting atmosphere. This setup is designed to capture the ritualistic sense of Grecian slow days and nights, offering a versatile space for various dining occasions.
Located at 37 Pier Street in the Perth CBD, Farra is set to become a new culinary destination, blending Greek-inspired slow food with contemporary flair. Its opening marks an exciting addition to the city's dining scene, promising memorable experiences centered around shared plates and relaxed enjoyment.
