Will St. – The Date Night Hero You Didn’t Know You Needed

Location: Leederville
Vibe: Moody, modern, and effortlessly cool — like the guy who reads Murakami but also owns an air fryer.

Let’s talk about Will St — the kind of place that makes you want to order everything, talk about everything, and maybe fall a little bit in love (with the food, or your date, or both).

The space? Sexy without trying too hard. Think low lighting, warm wood tones, and that gentle hum of this place has great taste but doesn’t shout about it.

The Food

The menu is Southeast Asian-inspired with a modern twist — bold, clever, and shareable (aka perfect for couples trying to subtly test how well they can split a prawn without it getting weird).

Highlights:

• Tamarind glazed lamb ribs – sticky, spicy, and possibly better than your ex
• Kingfish sashimi – fresh, sharp, and very “I know things about food” date energy
• Roti with curry butter – so good it might ruin all other carbs for you

Pro tip: Order the unexpected. Will Meyrick knows what he’s doing, and even the dishes you can’t pronounce will slap.

The Drinks

A thoughtful, funky wine list and cocktails that go beyond the basics. The negroni comes with housemade vermouth. The sake? Surprisingly flirty. Order one and act like you knew exactly what you were doing.

Date Night Score: 9/10

Perfect for:

• Third dates where you’re ready to impress without screaming try-hard
• Anniversaries that deserve a little “ooooh yes” energy
• Solo dates where you bring a book and fall in love with your own company (and the curry butter)

Not ideal for:

• Super shy first dates — it’s a little loud, a little luxe, and you might be distracted by how good everything tastes.

Final Word:
Will St. is where you go when you want to show you’ve got taste — not just in food, but in people.
And if the date’s a flop? At least the roti will never let you down.

Top Tip: Book in advance… sometimes very far in advance!
