Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Fremantle

"Afternoon Have lunch at Bread in Common, an inspired bakery, restaurant and bar in a converted warehouse before checking out the rollicking Fremantle Markets (Friday to Sunday) where you can shop for Aboriginal artworks and local produce, then browse the bookshops and boutiques along nearby South Terrace where local artists and musicians create a carnival atmosphere on weekends. Go on a pub crawl to check out Fremantle’s craft brewers such as The Monk Brewery and Kitchen and the heritage-listed Sail & Anchor Hotel. Finish at the large and bustling Little Creatures Brewery on Fishing Boat Harbour. Dine on fish and chips at Kailis' Fish Market Café or watch the sunset over dinner at the Bathers Beach House."

"When talking Fremantle food there would be no list without Bread In Common. Prior to its establishment, the Fremantle food scene was about BYO pizza and pasta (not that there is anything wrong with that) but Bread in Common upped the ante when they came along with their menu inspired by locally sourced, seasonal produce based all around—you know it—bread. Their long tables and shared menu make them the perfect spot to break bread with your friends."

"With an authentic woodfire oven leading to the kitchen, it is hard not to be in love with the passionate team and homely experience of Manuka Woodfire. 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."

"More great beer and views to match await scarcely 100 paces away at a craft beer destination in itself: Little Creatures. A craft beer station of the cross, craft beer mecca, the spiritual home of Australian craft beer – call it what you will, you’ll find there’s nothing quite like enjoying a Little Creatures Pale Ale or Hotchkiss Six stout straight from the source. Did we mention the views?"

"Grab lunch and a beer at Little Creatures Brewery. Make your way back to the city to explore Kings Park and Botanic Garden. September hosts the Kings Park Festival to celebrate the beginning of wildflower season. Experience nature, climb the DNA tower, see the mighty Boab tree, and take the Law Walk for panoramic views of Perth."

"Fremantle is home to some of the best craft brews in Western Australia. Here are our favourite spots to sample the best beer Freo has on offer."

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"Cottesloe’s Il Lido is now offering takeaway, so you can delight in some house made pasta or risotto at home. Check out their takeaway menu, call them on 9286 1111, then pick it up via their side door on Forrest Street."

"Call 9227 6153 and access Northbridge’s Panama Social’s full menu as a takeaway option. With dishes inspired by Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands, your tastebuds will be dancing."

"The Parkerville Tavern & Heritage Venue is a lovely old family pub and restaurant (est. 1902) in the heart of the Perth Hills. Steeped in history, this double-storey federation style pub is a local...See More"

"The menu reflects this, with big pasta and pizza dishes that’ll leave you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. The staff at Dilly Dally want you to stick around long after your meal, which is made easy by the wine menu that won’t break the bank.

"Eclectic and communal, anything goes at this Perth brunch spot. Not only does Sayers Sister have some of the best brunches in Perth, but it is also open Friday and Saturday evenings for endless wines and sangrias. Along with the interesting décor, same goes for the menu, like the lime and tequila salmon gravlax as an add on the side to your breakfast."

"Perth food lovers have been breakfasting on chef Mark Sayers' culinary creations ever since he and his wife opened their first venture in 2006. Sumptuous house-baked cakes line the communal dining table, and the food menu is chock full of interesting dishes accompanied by a solid drinks list and excellent coffee."

"If you wake up in need of an extra pick-me-up this crowd-favourite cafe on Lake Street is on hand to do exactly this. They are offering their entire dine-in menu takeaway with 10 per cent off the price."

"Standing in the former and now heritage-listed public space Heathcote Mental Reception Home in Applecross is the Goolugatup Heathcote, a contemporary art gallery with rotating exhibitions and a museum showcasing the site’s eventful history. With an artists studio, Artist in Residence program, and venues for hire, Goolugatup is a popular destination for both emerging and established artists. The gallery is also home to a world-class restaurant and one of the most popular and award-winning playgrounds in the metropolitan area – making it a perfect location for some family trips and gathering."

"The Heathcote Gallery, part of the redeveloped Heathcote Cultural Precinct, has a curated program that is remarkable in its variety, quality and dedication to fostering local talent. Head to their website to check out what 2020 holds – the program is jam-packed already. Highlights include I thought it would be roses, a collection of love letters upturning patriarchal tradition, COUNTERPART, a multidisciplinary group exhibition by WA artists with intellectual disabilities, and Larrikins, a video artwork critiquing larrikin masculinity through drag performance."

"The Swan River foreshore at Matilda Bay - across the road from the University of Western Australia - is a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Parts of the grassed area can be hired for functions such as weddings, which is not surprising for such a pleasant setting. Matilda Bay and jetty"

"Whiteman Park has been around as a public space for decades, but have you been there lately?. If not, we recommend a little trip to this Perth institution, located just 30km out of town and guaranteed to take at least a full day to tackle. Set within 4000 hectares of natural bushland, entry is free to explore picnic grounds, playgrounds, bushwalking trails, craft villages and two different dog parks!"

"Whiteman Park is a unique recreation and conservation reserve that covers nearly 4,000 hectares of natural bushland and leisure facilities in Perth’s northern suburbs. Whiteman Park is full of fun and interesting things to do with the kids, every day of the year, and school holidays are no different!. When was the last time you selfied with a koala?"

"The last thing children think they want to do on their holidays is learn, but luckily, Whiteman Park is as fun as it is educational. Caversham Wildlife Park, the Children's Forest and the Woodland Reserve will all teach them the importance of protecting the environment. Is your child passionate about cars?"

"While it is unlikely your self-isolation companion will believe you whipped up house-made saffron linguine with WA Slipper Lobster and soft herb tomato sugo or tortillas with Shark Bay prawns, chipotle mayonnaise and preserved lemon (mainly because they haven’t left your eyesight all day) they will still be suitably impressed with your takeaway selection from Odyssea. This City Beach favourite is open from 7am to 8pm daily."

"Odyssea beautifully unites the iconic Western Australian coastline with fine dining, what could go wrong?!. With a classic modern-Australian menu, fine coffee and a selection of cakes and desserts, it’s time to indulge. Once it hits midday, order a wine and watch the day slip away."

"Clancy’s is a laid-back restaurant on the doorstep of City Beach, serving crowd favourites such as gourmet bagels, granola and breakfast burgers. It is the perfect spot to enjoy a swim before or after a meal – sandy feet are more than welcome!. If you come for lunch, you can expect fish and chips and seafood platters, all paired well with local wine and craft beers."
