"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. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."
"You simply cannot visit Perth without taking a trip to Fremantle in the outskirts of the city, where you will find one of Western Australia’s best microbreweries. The building actually used to be a crocodile farm (c’mon, you can’t get more Aussie than that), but today is home to one of the top-rated beer gardens in Australia, with some pretty epic cider and beer options. Food wise, take your pick from tasty woodfired pizza, meat dishes, seafood and veggie options."
"One of the first craft beers in Australia, Little Creatures occupies prime warehouse and restaurant space on the waterfront. You can tour the brewery, or simply relax with a cold, refreshing pils and get a bite to eat. The food there is excellent and the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting."
"Cosy little date nights, sunshine laden weekends or the perfect setting for group dinner and drinks. Yes, Strange Company has it all, and it really does continue to punch hard when it comes to both an impressive food offering and delightful wine list to accompany. The little share plates are utterly delectable, with half shell scallops, strange fries with smoked aioli, fresh natural oysters and so on."
"Open for just over a year, Strange Company has already made its mark on historic Fremantle as a uniquely modern venue with a refined and open aesthetic. Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"
"Fabulous cocktails (try the spiced daiquiri), WA craft beers and slick, good-value food make Strange Company a sophisticated alternative to the raffish pubs along South Tce. It's still very laid-back, though –..."
"In Australia, the name David Thompson goes hand in hand with Thai cuisine and his Perth venture lives up to the hype."
"The east end of Freo brings a bustling hub that allows you to get the best of every world by eating, drinking, working, and playing all under the roof of a beautifully historic warehouse. houses several restaurants, cocktail bars, and an incubation kitchen perfect for your morning coffee, dinner, and even late-night drinks. Combining Asian-infused flavors and dishes from the Nikkei Cuisine lies Don Tapa and nearby speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar, Alter Ego, serving up drinks to kick-start your night."
"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."
"CBD diners and visiting tourists expect a fine degree of modish city style in Perth’s eateries, and The Terrace Hotel is one such charming addition to the Western Australian food scene. Patrons here can choose between a casual meal at the bar, or fine food in the breezy al fresco area or formally set dining room. The à la carte menu pairs rustic heritage charm with sophisticated style: think grilled halloumi, french beans, chicory & sundried tomato salad served with pita croutons, wild thyme & honey dressing; or for something meatier, Spring lamb cutlets with warm pepperonata, black garlic, bocconcini, and rosemary mint jus."
"However I was disappointed that I had to upgrade in order to have a room with a view. And due to the location and height of the building, I don’t think many rooms would have a view. The rooftop was also not open during my stay."
"The Rooftop at QT is Perth’s highest rooftop bar, with stunning views of the Swan River, city and out of the Swan Valley. QT Perth is a sophisticated spot with premium wine and cocktails for a taste of luxury."
"Japanese cuisine is world-famous with its equally popular noodle soup, Ramen. At Nao Ramen, they aim to be faithful to original and authentic flavor and give real Japanese ramen to patrons. To do so, they opt for homemade preparation – from broth to noodles, and even to chashu roast pork, everything in their ramen is home-made."
"For over 15 years, Nao has been Perth's go-to for ramen and gyoza. The four different types of noodles are made fresh daily and served with hearty broth and toppings, but the cold ramen with sesame sauce is the standout dish. The space is simple and service is efficient."
"We’re not short on great little sushi trains around Perth, and Sushi Wawa out by the IKEA building in Innaloo is one of the best. The train itself is constantly stocked with fresh Japanese goodness, heaps of tasty plates under $4.50, and their mains offerings are very reasonably priced too. 8A Sunray Dve, Innaloo"
"Located in the burbs, French Accent has everything you could ever want from a neighbourhood restaurant. The contemporary establishment in Swan Valley boasts a beautiful summer terrace and outdoor garden space as well as a cosy brick interior. When it comes to their menu, head chef Antoine Lardin cultivates a food philosophy that is all about innovative and interactive dishes."
"They have some amazing lobster rolls, onion rings and cajun fries that you can order and take away. No doubt they are one of the best takeouts in Perth. Head to their Facebook page and check out their full take away menu."
