Katy Perry’s favourite Aussie restaurant? Bet you’ve walked right past it

Celebrity sightings often spark excitement—but it’s even more intriguing when they shine a light on a local hidden gem.
A recent visit to Western Australia by a global pop icon has put one unassuming food spot firmly on the map.
As whispers of marriage rumours and A-list drop-ins swirl, a surprising connection between fame and flavour has emerged…
A West Coast sandwich shop found itself in the spotlight after a surprise visit from a global superstar's entourage—though the pop icon herself remained behind the scenes.
Roar hitmaker Katy Perry, 40, was touring Australia for her Lifetimes Tour when a member of her team uncovered a culinary gem in Perth that left quite an impression. Her hair stylist, Andrew Ly, had wandered into a small Vietnamese eatery without any expectations—but what he discovered quickly went viral.
‘I randomly stumbled into @LeVietnamcafe in Perth, and this has got to be the best Banh Mi I’ve ever had — hands down,’ he gushed on social media.
The unassuming shop, Le Vietnam, nestled in the Perth CBD, soon found itself catering to more than just walk-ins. According to owner DJ Lee, Ly was so impressed by the meal that he returned the following Monday with a special request: a mixed platter to take back to Katy and her crew.
But it wasn’t just Ly who was singing Le Vietnam’s praises. He claimed Katy had tried the food herself and shared a glowing review: it was ‘the best ever she’s had, so balanced and done superbly, and she’s had many across the globe’.
Though the American pop star didn’t visit in person, she wasn't the first A-lister to become a fan of the humble Banh Mi shop. Le Vietnam had previously welcomed celebrities like Ed Sheeran and Lizzo—clearly earning its reputation beyond Perth’s borders.
While Katy performed to a packed crowd at Perth’s RAC Arena that Sunday night, her fiancé Orlando Bloom was spotted enjoying the city in a more low-key fashion. The actor, 48, spent time with their five-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, along with a group that included members of Katy’s entourage and what appeared to be security.
Katy did not join the outing, but Orlando played the part of doting dad—carrying Daisy on his shoulders as they strolled through the city. Dressed casually in a long-sleeve printed shirt, black jeans and a baseball cap, he appeared relaxed during the family moment.
Their public appearance came amid renewed speculation about the state of Katy and Orlando’s relationship. The couple, who had been together for nearly a decade, were said to be having honest conversations about where things stood.
From her lengthy time away due to touring, to his involvement in a controversial space mission with Blue Origin, insiders claimed the pair had been living ‘different lives for at least a year’.
Yet despite the rumours, a source shared that ‘no one has decided it’s definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando’. The insider added, ‘They both love each other...But Katy especially doesn’t want to just give up.’
With all eyes on their recent visit, the real surprise came after they left Perth.

Katy had been in Australia throughout June, with the final stop of her Lifetimes Tour set for 30 June in Adelaide.
With so many celebrities discovering hidden gems on our shores, have you ever stumbled across a local spot that deserves global fame? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Sometimes, it’s the small, local spots that impress the most—especially when big-name restaurants don’t always live up to their reputation.
For older Aussies who’ve seen trends come and go, it’s a reminder that good food and service can’t be faked, no matter how famous the chef is.
If you’ve ever been let down by a celebrity-backed venue, this story is for you.
