The restaurants around Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour serve some of the best, freshly-caught fish that visitors can taste anywhere in the world, from traditional fish and chips to more upmarket seafood dining. Cicerello's, Kailis Fish Market Cafe' and Joe's Fish Shack all offer a harbour side view of the iconic fishing boats.
By the beach, the share plates and grazing boards at Bathers Beach House make ideal pickings, with whatever cocktail you can dream up at WA's first licensed beach front bar. Nearby, Little Creatures waterfront brewery delivers the right mix of casual and high energy atmosphere, with tasty morsels fit for beer accompaniment, delivered to long tables by extremely friendly staff.

In the West End, make sure you find the stunning basement venue Old Faithful, with an American style BBQ menu and 32 beers on tap.
Further down in South Fremantle you'll find The Local Hotel where you can tantalise your tastebuds and wine and dine in style, as well as Run Amok Hotdogs Unleashed - a hot dog store with a gourmet difference. In the summer months (December to March) head south until you reach the ocean and you'll discover the South Beach Sunset Markets, where you can sample international fare from a cluster of food trucks gathered around the shady grass area.
Coffee isn't a beverage in Fremantle, it's a way of life. Baristas battle daily for their respective venues to be acknowledged as the 'best coffee spot' in town, and the competition is stiff. This is especially true on the Cappuccino Strip - a section of real estate on South Terrace, stretching from the corner of Bannister Street all the way to Parry Street and renowned for its many cafés, brilliant brews, pubs and places to eat in Fremantle.
