Kailis Hospitality Group has announced plans for its most ambitious project since the launch of Gibney, with a $12 million restaurant precinct on the beachfront at ORA Sorrento. Positioned along West Coast Drive with panoramic ocean views, the development will deliver a fully integrated hub of up to four distinct restaurant brands, designed to set a new standard for dining in Perth and even make Melbourne a little jealous.
Managing director George Kailis said the opportunity to create a beachside hospitality destination of this scale was unprecedented.
“We will endeavour to set a new benchmark for hospitality in Perth’s northern suburbs with high-quality, unique restaurant offers that are very different to what currently exists,” he said. “We are also committed to an extremely high level of interior design, which will showcase the brands and the panoramic ocean views over Sorrento Beach.”
The group’s vision is for a precinct that feels cohesive yet varied, with multiple venues connected by a shared commitment to design, service, and coastal lifestyle.
The announcement builds on the success of Gibney in Cottesloe, which has been showered with accolades, including Best Restaurant in Western Australia by Gourmet Traveller, a two-hat rating from GoodFood, and Restaurant of the Year from WA Good Food Guide.
Much of the award-winning Gibney team will be involved in the new precinct, including group sommelier Nina Throsby and group bar director James Gentile, ensuring the project carries the same attention to detail and calibre of execution.
Kailis Hospitality Group has re-engaged Rezen Studio — the same design team behind Gibney — to lead the design of the restaurant precinct.
Rezen Studio Director, Zenifra Bowring said, “The opportunity to design multiple restaurant concepts within such a unique coastal precinct is incredibly rare. The scale of this project, combined with its beachfront location, provides us with the chance to create a truly world-class dining environment.”
Construction of the hospitality spaces is expected to align with the broader ORA Sorrento development, with work commencing in late 2026 or early 2027.
