This fully licensed restaurant, bar, and alfresco not only serves food—and in particular woodfire pizza—from the best local produce, but also offers local beer, wine, cider, and coffee to accompany your meal. While everything can be shared, you can easily take a pizza for yourself and keep the rest for tomorrow."

"Maybe we just had our heads in the sand, but it took us an embarrassingly long time to get switched on to the magic of Manuka. Luckily, everyone else isn’t so slow on the uptake – the restaurant has collected plenty of accolades and rave reviews over its five years of operations. The restaurant champions all the good low-waste, sustainable, seasonal, farmer- direct stuff we love to hear – although that doesn’t mean much if the food doesn’t speak for itself."

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers.

The Chaozhou style twice cooked fish with aged vinegar and dark soy sauce, squid with samba chilli sauce and premium beef fillet with Chinese numbing and spicy sauce are worth calling out, but there are so many more worth trying to."
