Post

Post Osteria & Bar brings Italian dining to the ground floor of Perth’s State Buildings, in the former franking room of the city’s General Post Office. The restaurant is shaped around the pleasures of sitting down together: good food, wine and conversation, with a menu that draws on the tastes and traditions of Italy while keeping its approach grounded in European simplicity and fine local produce.

The offering is designed to take you through much of the day. The venue welcomes guests for breakfast, a leisurely coffee, lunch, dinner or a drink at the bar, making it suited to different kinds of visits rather than one fixed style of dining. Its own description places equal emphasis on lingering and conviviality, so Post can work for a relaxed meal with friends, a long lunch or an evening that ends with a nightcap.

One named dish gives a clear sense of the kitchen’s style: the pork cotoletta is crumbed and fried until crisp, then finished with sage, anchovy and aged Parmigiano. It is described as rich but balanced, with Italian reds such as Chianti Classico or Barbera suggested as matches. More broadly, the menu is presented as satisfying, produce-led food that respects traditional flavours without being framed as a strictly old-fashioned experience.

Post also caters for larger occasions, with group dining, private dining and exclusive hire available. The venue lists the Titles Room as an intimate private dining space serving Italian classics, while the larger Franking Room is suited to dinners and functions. That makes the restaurant a practical option for celebrations, corporate gatherings or meals with family and friends, while the main space remains a place to settle in at your own pace. Post is at 1 Cathedral Avenue, Perth, in the Perth CBD.
