Why Travelers Love Bivouac Canteen
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We came for lunch on a Sunday and it was dead quiet. The food we ordered was beautiful stunning presentation. Every dish was complex in flavour and profile but went together seamlessly. It was a really lovely meal especially I recommend the chicken. It was very juicy and the cashew sauce that it went with was great and the slow cut through the naughtiness. Lots of the dishes are vegan as well with desert. The chocolate tart was vegan and almost there entire menu is gluten-free. Instagram @pertheatswithem We had such a wonderful dining experience at Bivouac Canteen and Bar with the Feed Me menu. The four-course spread was absolutely fantastic, with each dish full of flavour and beautifully presented. The vegetarian options were well thought out and just as delicious, while the meat dishes were tender and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were incredibly generous for two people, we couldn’t even finish everything! On top of the great food, the customer service was excellent. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Bivouac for anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a welcoming atmosphere.

I am so happy i walked in during my stay here in Perth. Me and my SO chose the "Feed me" option which was absolutely mind blowing! The food was amazing from start to finish. Great balance between sweet, sour and savory. Service and presentation 10/10. Please go there it is definitely worth it. Love this place and i would move to Perth just to eat here more often.
