Once a seaside 1930’s art-deco cabaret hall on Cottesloe Beach

Today — an Italian-inspired espresso bar and restaurant.

Il Lido (in Italian meaning literally “the beach”) draws on the site’s heritage as the original ‘Lido Cabaret’, which we now look after as our own little slice of Cottesloe history.

We are passionate about pasta, wine, coffee, aperitivo, and almost everything Italian in between!

Built on an undying dedication to the food, drink and surrounding beachside culture

When you think of Italy, Il Lido is our vibrant slice of cucina povera by the enduring delight that is Cottesloe Beach.

Housed in what was once the Lido Cabaret, Il Lido maintains the original tenant’s commitment to a good time through making beauty look easy then putting it in front of you and some people you care about to enjoy.

Il Lido is an experience. Espresso grab’n’go worth getting up for, spot-on pastries, delicious pasta, sneaky and/or cheeky aperitivo, and a wine list that lives and breathes good taste.

Salute!

Bookings are a plus, but walk-ins are good too.
