Gibney Cottesloe

George Kailis's brasserie grill sits above Cottesloe Beach on Marine Parade, where banquettes line a dining room open to a 200-square-metre alfresco terrace with sightlines to Rottnest, Garden Island and Fremantle. Back-to-back West Australian Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year — the first time in the awards' history — makes the formal service and ocean panorama feel less like indulgence, more like due diligence.
