Gather

Gather is more than an undiscovered gem. It's truly a one-of-a-kind mom-and-pop shop. Celebrity chef Skip Marooch swears that Gather serves the best burger he's ever eaten. Kerri and James treat all the customers with the best care and make sure they're having the best experience. Even though it might look small, Gather holds a special spot in this beautiful town's heart.

Without a doubt, our favourite place to eat in Perth! We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Gather on several occasions, both for lunch and dinner and we’ve only ever had our expectations exceeded every time. Gather is the perfect balance of elevated dining coupled with an unpretentious, friendly atmosphere. Kerri, James and their team make you feel instantly welcome and their passion for food and wine shine through with every experience. Can’t recommend the gem that is Gather enough!

I had such a good experience at Gather. They had lots of unique and delicious food options and an amazing vegan omelet. I really enjoyed the organic tea selection. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere with thoughtful touches like offering hand lotion in the bathroom! Love that ??

Just finished having the most wonderful, relaxing and tasty lunch at Gather in Perth, Ontario. The service was the best I’ve ever had at any restaurant. From the greeting, sitting, ordering and meal to table it could not have been better. The chef came over to see how I was enjoying my meal. The server was so sweet and friendly. I loved everything I ordered. The music playing was so soothing; made me feel like I was dining in Paris. The setting was beautiful, comfortable and has a view onto downtown for great people watching. The ingredients were fresh, comforting, tasty and just the best twist on some original options. I will dream about this place.

This is a must-try restaurant. The chef makes some quite original dishes. Everything is fresh, the sandwiches are made in-house and the service is excellent, even though it may be a tad shower than others. But your patience is rewarded with food that's prepared fresh and is simply delicious. If you're anywhere near Perth, you should definitely visit this wonderful restaurant.

Lovely restraunt that has an eclectic but stunning decor. The food is good, we had two different soaps and a side salad / smoked Salmon dish. The staff was lovely, would recommend a stop in.

What a gem in beautiful downtown Perth! James and his wife are the most excellent hosts and he actually met us at the door and spent some time talking about their move to Perth. Food is amazingly fresh and made in house. We had the bahn mi sandwich and soup of the day. Also some great beers from Perth Brewing. Our server April was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and highly recommend! Thanks so much guys!

We love Gather in Perth so much. Their food is creative and delicious, and the people are wonderful. Lunch is their main offering and the menu is truly unique. (Do check out the menu.) You can get a sandwich between $10 and $18, which includes a side soup or salad. The soups change regularly and are very yummy. Gluten-free bread and vegan options are available. The co-owners have decades of experience in the hospitality industry. James and Kerri have both worked in and run high-end restaurants -- and it really shows. They go the extra mile (whipped maple butter on sandwiches) and they take excellent care of their customers (offering towels to dry off after coming in from a downpour). More important tidbits... A local farm provides seasonal veggies. They have great beers from local microbreweries. Ask for the gluten-free, dairy-free carrot cake (it is incredible). If you get the opportunity, ask Kerri to describe food and drink pairing (she is a sommelier) or ask James how he prepared the dish you ate. They are really passionate about what they do and it is a joy to listen to them. For a special occasion, book ahead for one of their monthly dinners. The dinner menu changes every month. If you're looking for amazing food and a pleasurable dining experience, we really recommend checking out Gather. (We've been several times since they opened last year, so our photos are from a few different meals.)
