Chez Pierre

Our whole experience in this warm and welcoming restaurant was a wonderful surprise. The service was very professional, sadly lacking in most restaurants in Perth.

Right from the moment we entered the restaurant, the waiters were attentive, polite and excellent with their service.

We decided on the degustation menu with 7 tasting dishes and were promptly served with the first dish. Every dish was divine, with some adventurous twists and sauces that matched perfectly, and obvious attention to presentation and detail. The standout dishes included the scallop (entree - so fresh and tender) and the lamb cutlets (perfectly cooked with delicious light herb crust). The waiters cleared the table promptly after each dish, and there were no long waits for the food.

Considering the quality of the food and the number of dishes served (we were certainly well fed!), we thought the prices were quite reasonable.

I would definitely recommend Chez Pierre - fantastic for intimate dinners, special occasions, or a night out with friends. And to top off a brilliant night, by the time we'd paid the bill one of the waiters was already waiting to open the front door for us and wish us a pleasant evening.

My wife and I have been a fan of Eminem for a very long time so when it closed down we were among the many disappointed Perth people. However, Chez Pierre certainly met and exceeded our expectations which was pleasing considering how busy it was on this particular Saturday night.

We were greeted in the car park by Pierre Ichallalene's father - something unexpected, but impressive all the same - before being welcomed by a genuinely friendly young hostess. We were showed to our table and thanks to prompt service, ordered within no time.

The food was simply fantastic, from the duck through to the salmon, everything was beautiful.
Service was attentive and pleasant - the particular kind you rarely find in Perth. Our waiters were two men who really are professionals at what they do. Praises and compliments to them both.

We paid our bill and were escorted to the door by the hostess - a nice touch to the evening.

All in all, a fantastic evening. Would definitely recommend to our friends and will most definitely be back. Well done Pierre - a fine achievement.

I was so disappointed to see the funky modern Moorish decor of the former Eminem restaurant undergo a makeover akin to the living room of my elderly parents! Doesn't do any favours for the ambience of the restaurant. Such a shame, but it was a lovely evening out regardless. I love French cuisine, and this didn't disappoint, if a little too traditional. I was hoping for a quirky twist on traditional, knowing that the restaurant is owned by the son of the grand duke of the French restaurant in Perth (and its surrounds), Pierre Ichallalene. Service, also, was not as I had hoped or expected, frankly.

We came for dinner on a very busy Saturday night. It was a welcoming experince from start to finish with a young gentleman greeting you in the carpark then escorting you to the door. The hostess immediately made us feel welcome and asked if we wanted a pre-dinner drink or to be seated straight away. After two fantastic cocktails made by a very pleasant barman we were escorted to the table. Once there the daily specials were explained in great detail by the lovely waitress. We decided to have the special ocean smoked trout which was aboslutely delightful, the flavours well balncecd. My partner tried the quail which she enjoyed. For mains we had the venison and duck which just continued the great experience. Pierre the owner then cooked us crepes suzette at the table. The crepes were flambeed in front of us which added to the atmosphere.

Overall this was an extremely pleasant and terrific experience. The service was sensational and the food absolutely amazing. Once paying we were escorted back to the door which just put that finishing touch to a wonderful evening

We received a voucher for this restaurant, which is why we went in the first place. Pretentious dining isn't usually our kind of fun, but if that's what you like, then this is the place for you.

The food was alright (starters particularly nice, and the dessert was alright too) but certainly not worth the money we paid for it. It is also annoying when a French place charges money for bread - if they're trying to be true to French customs, this certainly isn't the way to do that...

The atmosphere was nice though, the place is nicely decorated. The waiters were a bit in your face, though, for example serving bread when you didn't need it yet (and charging for it). But they were friendly enough.

All in all we had a nice evening, but it was just so incredibly overpriced.

The restaurant is beutifullly decorated with good ambiance, music at the right volume. We went rather early and did not have a pre-meal drink. We ordered the escargot (which was average), and had the grilled salmon (excellent) and duck (very nice but there were only seven small bitesized slices). The food was good but was rather overpriced in our opinion, although the freeflow of bread and complimentary cucumber soup was a nice touch.

We thought the service was excellent right from the parking attendant in the front to the hostess and waiters inside. This made it all very enjoyable.

Cons: The reserved parking bays are narrow and quite hard to get out of at the end of the meal.

Chez Pierre is situated where Eminem used to be, so the location is excellent.

The service for myself and my guest throughout the evening was nothing special - the waiter forgot about a glass of wine, and it took 20 minutes to get a cup of tea. The wait staff hovered around when it appeared we were nearly finished with a course, which made for a slightly intimidating atmosphere. Lisa the maitre'd was very professional and certainly elevated the atmosphere of the establishment.

The food was good (we had the soup, followed by steak), but not sensational. The waiter didn't ask if we wanted any side dishes and so we went without - an oversight on both our parts but something that he should have picked up on.
