Nextdoor

Nextdoor is a neighbourhood restaurant on Angelo Street in South Perth, built around wood-fired cooking, premium secondary cuts and a drinks list described as curated pours. The kitchen sources its meat daily from nearby Olsen Butchers, giving the restaurant a clear local connection while keeping the focus on produce and fire. It is the sort of place to settle in rather than rush through: the venue’s own invitation is to stay for a minute or stay for a while.

The menu is seasonal and changes regularly, so the dishes published online are intended as a guide rather than a fixed promise. Its approach is centred on meat cooked over an open hearth, with the Broadsheet profile highlighting the handling of richly marbled beef, including Denver cut from the eye chuck and Japanese Wagyu. That same profile points to a broader menu than steak alone, mentioning deboned chicken wings filled with prawn and porcini, hummus, and pickled rapini incorporated into zhoug, a Yemeni hot sauce.

The restaurant’s cooking is closely associated with Elliot Sawiris, whose previous experience at Rockpool is reflected in the attention given to premium beef and open-hearth cooking. The food has enough range for diners who want to explore several plates, while the focus on wood fire, meat and drinks makes it a natural choice for an evening meal with a date or a small group. Solo diners who enjoy sitting at the bar or taking their time over a few dishes may also find the format appealing, although the supplied information does not detail the seating layout or specific family facilities.

Nextdoor trades from Monday to Thursday from 4pm to 10pm, from midday until late on Friday, and from 3pm until late on Saturday. Its published contact details place it at 79 Angelo Street, South Perth, with bookings or enquiries available by phone or email. With a 4.5 Google rating from 588 reviews, it is an established option for South Perth diners looking for fire-led cooking and a menu that evolves with the seasons.
