There’s something magnetic about the Claremont Town Centre. With its tree-lined streets, charming laneways, ritzy retail stores, and polished dining options, this oh-so chic pocket of the glistening Golden Triangle is a destination in its own right.
Unlike other oversized shopping precincts, Claremont’s pace is slower, more considered, and infinitely more refined. Here, you can meander between designer shopfronts, drop in for an espresso or pilates class and end the evening with a glass of wine in hand, all within a strollable square of the Western Suburb’s most stylish streets.
It’s a place to shop, dine, and reset in style, and Sundays might just be the best day of the week to experience it. Here’s how we’d be spending Sunday in Claremont.
Win the morning, win the day
Sunday mornings in Claremont are a sensory experience. The buttery scent of freshly-baked pastries drifting down Bay View Terrace? That’s courtesy of The Baking Corner, Claremont’s patisserie café turning out mille-feuille, croissants, decadent cakes, rustic bread, and expertly brewed coffee.
Things to do in Perth
If you’re chasing something a little Scandi, wander down the plant-filled Maude Jackson Walk to Moose. This secret Swedish joint will transport you straight to Stockholm with its cinnamon buns, saffron soup, plus a pick-and-mix of Swedish sweets. And if you’re dining with your doggo, Academy Café has a dedicated menu for pampered pooches, as well as finessed brekky plates for hungry humans.
Reset, refresh, revive
After a week of deadlines and doomscrolling, nothing resets the system like moving your body. Upstairs in Old Theatre Lane, Club Mello’s reformer pilates and mat classes will leave you feeling strong, stretchy, and ready to take on the week.
Didn’t quite get enough beauty sleep last night? Reda & Co is your one-stop glow station for flawless spray tans, light therapy, and teeth whitening, open 24/7 on Avion Way. Or try Element Health Centres for holistic wellness, with treatments ranging from infrared saunas to cryotherapy and everything in between.
Shop the strip
Forget about fighting your way through the chaos of a mega-mall on Sundays. With plenty of parking, calming leafy streets, and a range of beautiful boutiques that are as curated as they are covetable, retail therapy in Claremont is as refined as it gets.
Sartorial Sundays are spent browsing high-end, homegrown labels. Refresh your wardrobe with Melbourne-born Elka Collective’s clean tailoring and timeless neutrals, Sir’s minimalist staples crafted from ethically sourced fabrics, and Zimmermann’s dreamy dresses in ultra-feminine prints.
Dusk ‘til dine
As the sun sets and the week winds down, Claremont dials up the dining. At the recently renovated Claremont Hotel, you’ll find polished pub classics, elevated with seasonal produce and a lively atmosphere with just the right amount of buzz for a Sunday.
Over on Bay View Terrace, Silp Thai serves up authentic fine Thai cuisine with an assortment of traditional dishes. The best way to enjoy it is to order several dishes and share with friends. Or keep things light and fresh with Izakaya Gin’s artfully plated sashimi, sake, and authentic Japanese plates.
From morning pastries and pilates to sartorial splurges and evening wines, Claremont makes it easy to stretch out your Sunday in style. Whether you’re shopping, sweating, sipping, or strolling, every corner of this polished precinct delivers a little luxury. Consider this your cue to bid adieu to the end-of-week bed rot and make Claremont your new Sunday ritual. Find even more to see, do and love at claremont.wa.gov.au/places/town-centre
