C Restaurant

I really loved our C Restaurant experience. The staff were friendly and knew their stuff. The food was delicious especially loved the gnocchi and the sorbet. Plus you’ve got an amazing view of the city that is constantly changing (our waiter told us you do a complete revolve in 90 minutes so you can make it over dinner). Been wanting to go forever and was not disappointed!

The view, the service, the food, not sure which I prefer more. Will have to go back and try and decide again. The set course lunches are always incredible.

Having just returned from the revolving restaurant in NYC I thought I’d give my hometown one another go for high tea, we queued for 15 minutes whilst waiting to be seated, there was one unfriendly lady to show each person in the queue to their table, a lot of people had scoopon vouchers for lunch, I felt like I was queuing at Sizler just with a better view. Its 2015 and they don’t have a coffee machine to make latte’s, cappuccinos etc, there’s no toilet facilities for wheelchairs/​mothers with babies, it’s like stepping back in time, they are understaffed and we weren’t offered water, on the upside the scones were good.

Having been here for high tea a few years back I was not expecting much. So when we decided to take my niece for her 9^th birthday, I thought the experience of the view would be all for her.
Surprisingly enough I was pleasantly surprised in how much it has changed! My sister and I ordered the bottomless high tea ($ 69), providing a bottomless amount of champagne (we had about 4 glasses) and my niece got the childrens high tea ($ 29), which came on a separate board but was very similar to the high tea my sister and I received. The food was quite good, and although not unique, the scones were some of the best scones I have tried before, being soft and not too dry. The cakes were very rich and the sandwiches were standard of a high tea.
I chose the english breakfast tea which was nice, as the only coffee available was percolated, although we were advised on this when ordering.
Greg, who was looking after us for the afternoon, did a great job of making sure we were well looked after, and brought my niece a champagne (apple juice and sparkling water) to celebrate her birthday, along with a birthday truffle on a plate with a sparkler that made it feel more like her birthday.
The only downside was the water. We were offered water and asked for still, only to be given 800mL bottles of Voss water at $ 9 a bottle. This was an unpleasant addition to our bill!
All in all, I would definitely go back again for the bottomless high tea and the views, but not the water :).

Amazing high tea at this restaurant! From the tea to the sandwiches to the desserts and scones! It was a perfect day and the view was amazing too. In saying that must go back to try out their lunch/​dinner menu as that sounds delicious too :)

Went for our wedding anniversary lunch on grand final day. Had the best potato gnocchi ever! It was so well balanced and creamy. Mains were okay but I would come back for dessert, it was beautiful, fancy and most importantly so tasty! Service was good too and lunch prices were reasonable. The view of course is exceptional

Lovely restaurant with a breathtaking view of the city! The staff is very attentive and kind and the food was beautiful! I especially loved the chicken noodle salad and gnocchi which was homemade melted in the mouth! The sauce that accompanied it was all my husband was raving about! If you haven’t tried homemade fresh gnocchi before, this is the place to have it!

Went for lunch. Had the Gnocchi pasta. The sauce was very creamy, more sauce than food. It was to a certain extent bland, you can get a better gnocchi elsewhere.
Drinks were marked up but thats to be expected.
Service was good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here.
Good for sunset dinner if you time it right.
Takes 1 hr to do a revolution. The seating allocation varies, so if you want a good view make sure you ask if its next to the window.

Do not get me wrong, the food is good however the food does not match expectations or price.
I visited C on a family holiday after recommendations based on the experience, the views are fantastic and the revolving restaurant takes about 1hour to rotate, giving you plenty of opportunities to see Perth in its sunny glory.
The food menu is limited, in contrast the drinks menu is well stocked! Although expect a high mark up on all wines and spirits.
Personally I would suggest the restaurant would be best suited as an events location or a exclusive bar.
Having said all of this, defiantly worth at least one visit.

I Love the C restaurant! its great, the food is amazing (the 4 cheese gnocci is a must!)
its somewhere for special occasions, but it just screams class and glamour. The staff are amazing (refreshing from ussual places in perth!) cocktails are great, and you cant really get a better view of our amazing city.
it is pricey as you must pay a minimum of $ 85 per head, but once in a while– totally worth it!

Just a few days ago we had lunch at C Restaurant, Perth’s only revolving restaurant located at the top of St. Martins Tower on St Georges Terrace in Perth.
We took the quick elevator up to the 33^rd floor, and my ears popped on the way up. As soon as we stepped into the restaurant we were right behind the main tills and it took a few seconds for me to realise that the main outer edge of the Restaurant slowly moving along.
We were seated quickly by our friendly waiter and given the menus. As I was reading the drinks list I could see out the corner of my eye, the window going past very slowly. It actually took me about 20 minutes to get used to the rotation, reminded me of being on a boat or catching the ferry over to South Perth/​Rotto. Hubby was fine though!
For first drinks, I ordered a Champagne Cocktail which was Moet, Grey Goose and Pineapple Juice with a Maraschino Cherry. I love Moet and it was so smooth with the lovely pineapple juice, I must recreate this at home. Hubby had a long island ice tea and we ordered some house made bread for starters.
We decided to go the 3 courses which was $ 63 each, which was great value I thought, plus I had my Entertainment card.
Entrees were C’s ‘Famous’ Gnocchi and Oysters done 4 ways; Kilpatrick, Chilli & Lemon, Natural and Orange Tomato Salsa. I had 1 Kilpatrick, my first Kilpatrick style oyster, I’m slowly starting to like them. The Gnocchi was soft and pillowy and the creamy Gorgonzola cheese sauce was very tasty. The portion size was generous I thought too.
Whilst waiting for the mains we ordered more drinks; a glass of Capel Vale Sparkling Brut and a bottle of James Squire Golden Ale. The Sparkling was so delicious, I’ll be buying some of this on my next bottle shop venture soon.
My second course was the Pink Snapper ‘special’ with a sweet fruit quinoa salad and octopus croquettes. Again, my first time tasting quinoa, I have had some in my cupboard for a while but haven’t cooked with it yet. I couldn’t really tell you the flavour of it, it was neutral to me, but the it wasn’t too bad with the Snapper.
The Octopus croquettes were crumbed legs of octopus. AGAIN my first time trying octopus, I had 1 and dished the other to Hubby’s plate. It was like a strong calamari flavour encased in a yummy crunchy crumb and you could see the ‘suckers’ as you cut into them.
The other main meal was the Chicken Roulade with Pumpkin Purée, Sautéed Mushrooms, Pine Nut Polenta Cake and Creamy Morel Sauce. The Chicken was cooked to perfection and the mushrooms were to die for, I knew I could smell them as soon as the dish was presented. The pumpkin purée was so bright and orange and the smokey spiced popcorn was so good I snuck a piece straight away! Everything on this plate married well together and it was gone in a flash! I didn’t get any photos of our mains as we had the sun right on our table as they arrived.
1 Dessert dish was the Turkish Coffee Cake with Chocolate Tuile. I didn’t try this as Hubby said it had mint in it, I really don’t like mint (Though it’s funny how Mojito’s are an exception), so didn’t try it but I was told the Mandarin Sorbet was very refreshing with the mint and chocolate.
I had the Blueberry and Vanilla Parfait and it was delicious! The fruits of the forest sorbet was sweet and fruity it tasted like a fantastic Raspberry Jam. The Blueberries on the plate were the biggest I’ve ever seen too, I don’t usually like blueberries, the ones I buy are usually very bland tasting but these were massive and full of bursting berry flavour. I couldn’t eat the middle bit because it was frozen solid but was pretty full by this stage.
All up we did about a 1 and ¼ revolutions of the whole restaurant and were there just under 2 hours. Our waiter was attentive without being intrusive and cleared our plates and took drinks orders very promptly. There was a bit of a wait after entrée for our mains, longer than I expected but the revolving view was a great time filler.
We ordered a Long Macchiato and asked for our bill. I had my Entertainment Gold Card on hand so we used that and ended up getting $ 45 off the total bill. I’ve always been a massive fan of the Entertainment book, its great for people like me who dine out so often.
Our overall experience at C was a good one, it was a Saturday Lunch and the restaurant wasn’t very busy, I found it spun around faster than I expected and in the beginning felt a bit dizzy.
Absolutely fantastic views of the Swan River and Perth surrounds, and its great pointing out/​questioning thing as you spin around. Best views from a restaurant I’ve been too! Definitely recommended!

Great location for a romantic dinner. The service was impeccable and the food was great too. The staff did not try and hurry us out, they were happy for us to sit and talk for as long as we wanted.
We were happy we chose the 5:30pm sitting to get a great view of the city and then the sunset. It was a shame that it’s $ 30 extra to guarantee a window seat. While we didn’t pay for it we requested it and even though there were empty tables we weren’t sat there. Not a massive deal because the view was still good, but would have been nice.

I’ve been to C Restaurant several times for high tea this and other years. Every time the food has been delicious, and there has been plenty to choose from! The petit fours, scones with jam and cream, mini sandwiches and tea selection make for a lovely experience.
But they are let down by their service, or lack thereof. Often staff were rude and abrupt, clearly busy with their work, but when you pay top dollar for a meal and service, you expect to receive excellent service.
Their toilet facilities are abysmal! They smell, have broken parts, and are not kept clean. It would be wise for them to upgrade the toilets in order to maintain a higher standard of quality.
What I love about the restaurant, though, is the view; it’s what people go there for! If you’re able to catch a sunset while there, count yourself lucky!

I went here for my anniversary on a Friday night. The view and setting was magnificent. The atmosphere was great. Quiet, intimate, exactly what I would want for my anniversary but a few table away was a birthday, they made an effort to sing her happy birthday and bring her dessert with sparklers. They cater to many occasions. It was lovely, nothing too disruptive. Service was fantastic. Well knowledged staff who were all informed. The food was amazing, some may say pricey but so worth it. Portion size was great. Loved everything about my experience there. I would recommend the pork belly entrée and the choc and passion fruit ganache tart. The night was perfect. Thank you so much C Restaurant! Can’t wait to go again!

Went to C Restaurant for dinner and cocktails while watching sunset, which is pretty much the idea of this place. However sunset came and went behind the ANZ building so that wasn’t what I was expecting. Cocktail are the going price @ $ 18 and were lovely and well-​presented but that’s where the value for money ends.
We all know what we are paying for going to this venue so that aside the entrees that we ordered Salmon Tartare and Pork Belly were beautifully presented and taste bud were delighted. Could not find a fault with anything on the plate — apart from wanting more.
Mains Toothfish 51 and the lamb again presentation ¹⁰⁄₁₀ and flavour delightful, portion sizes are small for the gents but you can add side dishes if you wish.
Do I think $ 94 for two courses was justified probably not, but you are paying for the view (which by the way takes 90mins to do a full revolution)
Wine list is good but 400% mark-​up not really necessary I would have though seeing as at 8pm on a Saturday night there are many spare tables.
An enjoyable evening was had, definitely a special occasion venue.

I’ve been to C Restaurant twice for high tea in the last couple of years, and both times I’ve come away disappointed.
The food is ok, and the view is obviously amazing, but the service really lacks any effort. The obvious reason they can get away with it is the unique view, and the fact that the restaurant revolves.
We recently took some visiting relatives for high tea. It had the desired effect; they walked away being blown away with the view. We were all also stuffed, filling up on cakes and tea. But the wait staff really didn’t attempt to make us feel welcome. It just felt a little cold.
At one point, one of our party tried to get a staff members attention to get some extra hot water, and they looked in our direction but ignored the request.
All up it’s worth a look if you’re keen to check out the view. If you’re looking for good food and service, then there are plenty of better options around town.

The C Restaurant is a phenomenal dining exeprience, with service and food second to none. My husband and I recently went for our 5^th year wedding anniversary (he took me there right before he proposed to me on the ferris Wheel back in January 2009) and it was even better this last time. They are well staffed and the atmosphere is delightful.
The C Restauarnt is right up there among Perths Best — and if you like fine dining, good quality food with exceptional service, you won’t be disappointed. The Maron was delicious and the Gnocchi is literally mouth watering!

Breathtakingly magnificent! What an incredible way to view our beautiful city from all angles!
I was however not entirely captivated by the meals — although they looked great. My favourite dish of the evening — oysters kilpatrick entrée — fresh and juicy. The chicken miso salad was bland until you mixed in the mustardy relish — then it was too over powering. My steak was way charred for medium rare and I was just as unimpressed by the dessert! — BUT the views… And that’s all this place really is for now… Oh and damn good cocktails!
At one stage I also thought my meal had a strong «aroma»…until the next course came around and we realised it was the waiter… :/​
Also if you’re the type to get motion sickness like i do — you may find yourself dizzy if you gaze for too long out the window.

Great view and the rotating thing is novel.
I felt a little sick from the movement though.
The food was OK. Beautiful presentation but a little bland.
I have no doubt that my tastebuds were effected by the motion sickness I experienced.
I thought service was fine but others in our large group thought it was hopeless and several were adamant that we were not to tip because they felt it was so sub par.
I’m glad I’ve experienced it just to say «I’ve been there» but based on the experience, I won’t be back anytime soon.

The view is stunning and it’s certainly worth a visit at lunch time to see Perth in all her glory. Looking down at the Elizabeth Quay development, Northbridge, and the Swan in vivid sunlight were highlights.
The service was friendly but haphazard at best, and we didn’t get off to a great start as the host was absent when we arrived and we waited five minutes to be seated (despite the restaurant not seeming very busy).
But C is a restaurant after all, so it must be judged by the quality of the cuisine. Unfortunately the food is lacking taste and the presentation is a trifle passé. We went elsewhere for dessert after enjoying the view for a full revolution.
