Il Lido Italian Canteen is an Italian Restaurant situated in Cottesloe, Perth providing an old seaside art-deco cabaret hall on Cottesloe Beach. Il Lido not only has an Italian resonance but it draws on the heritage of the site as the original ‘Lido Cabaret’ was a very popular cabaret hall and night spot with the Cottesloe locals. We are passionate about food, wine, coffee, cheese, desserts and everything in between!

At Il Lido Italian Canteen our food can be described as ‘cucina povera’, or Italian peasant food, and it is presented with our own individuality. The menu is supported by an extensive wine list written by one of Australia’s most acclaimed sommeliers, Dan Wegener. The wine list has representation from local and Australian regional wines as well as one of the most comprehensive Italian wine selections in Western Australia.

Our early morning risers, some straight from the ocean, come in to enjoy our freshly baked pastries, perfect with our locally roasted coffee. We pride ourselves with the use of local organic eggs and speciality meats. Our menu caters for the health conscious, the hungry, and the spoil yourself breakfast lover. Of course, bubbles are always available!

Our antipasti selection is available which show cases seasonal produce, house cured meats and freshly shucked oysters. All perfect for sharing as a starter or just to graze and enjoy our hot summer days or dynamic winter months. From noon until late our full canteen menu is available, with a selection of light meals, plus house-made pasta, risottos and our famous potato gnocchi. From our grill comes our fish of the day or speciality cut meats, all cooked to order, displaying their classic Italian heritage with our own individual style.
