HQ Bar + Kitchen

Perched on the tenth floor of Quay Perth Hotel, HQ Bar + Kitchen looks out across Elizabeth Quay with a modern, chic poise. The rooftop terrace sets the tone for sunset rendezvous and intimate celebrations, while the dining room keeps things polished yet relaxed — a city perch where the skyline steals the occasional glance.

In the kitchen, Asian-inspired share plates lead the way. Think Korean Fried Chicken with a creamy onion whisper, yakitori fresh from the grill, and the crunch of Salt and Szechuan Pepper Squid with shichimi mayo. West Australian provenance shines in Grilled Shark Bay Scallops glossed with XO butter and crispy shallots, while larger plates bring comfort and character — Wagyu Flank Steak in a Korean galbi marinade, or Five Spiced Duck Breast with potato rosti, baby carrots and mushrooms. To finish, desserts strike a playful note: Black Forest Ferrero with raspberry confit and vanilla creameux, or a Thai Tea Basque Cheesecake cooled by yuzu sorbet.

The bar keeps pace with craft beers, premium wines and inventive cocktails — perhaps an Espresso Ocaso, Peaches n’ Cream, or signatures like Blood Of The Vine (shiraz gin, sweet vermouth) and Shore Leave (dark rum, lime, spices). Make a date, claim a spot on the terrace, and let Perth’s evening unfurl — rooftop dining, with altitude and attitude.
