Eating out in Oz can be relatively expensive, so if you're on a budget - or trying to accommodate a broad range of tastes - one of the cheapest and most practical ways to eat is at one of the many food courts.
Food courts are dead easy to use. Having perused the options on offer and made your selection, simply place your order and pay for your food. You will then be given a number to display on your table, and your food will be brought to you once it's ready.
Drinks are served from a separate stall - most food halls are licenced, so can serve wine and beer as well as fruit juices and non-alcoholic drinks.
Seating is often at a premium - particularly at lunch time and early evening, so the best plan is usually to despatch a member of the party to locate and lay stake to seats whilst others are placing the orders.
Favorite Dish: This food hall in Freo is my favourite and is located diagonally opposite the Fremantle Markets. I confess - I am utterly addicted to the larb gai from the Siam Kitchen! If you have yet to experience this delight, larb gai is a dish of chicken mince stir fried with garlic, lemon grass, mixed through with fish sauce, lime juice, chopped mint and coriander after cooking and served with plain boiled rice ... YUM!

This coffeehouse is the back of a double-storey art gallery that itself is well worth a look. The coffeehouse however serves up some of the best baked breakfasts in Freo and is famous amongst hungover party-goers everywhere.
Favorite Dish: There's a different menu every week, so telling you won't help much. The chefs basically take turns to create whatever they feel like that week - but I promise each and every item they turn out is as much a piece of art as the paintings hanging in the art gallery out back.

All my Perth and Fremantle Tips seem to do with Pubs and Breweries - I wonder if that's a coincidence? *winks*
Monk has a fantastic paella selection on Mondays and it does very eccentric and particular beers at all times - I got a dark beer called the "Last Judgement" which was very bitter and very strong. I enjoyed it heartily along with my huge platter of food.
Favorite Dish: Vegetarian Platter:
2 slices of Zuchini Frittata, Tempura, three rolls of bread along with a great Olive Oil dip and crumblings. It's a very fancy and filling platter.

There are four of these awesome things: one here in Fremantle, one in Subiaco, one is Leederville and one in Perth CBD.
Each one serves up fantastic burgers featuring unique and complex sauces - every single one of wihch is delicious. They come with a serve of pickles and thick-cut chips and potentially a drink.
The walls are usually covered with fancy street-art and the staff are bohemians in appearance, fitting with the artistic flavour of the burgers they create. All foodstuffs are locally produced and sourced.
Favorite Dish: Vegetarian Tempeh Burger with paprika aoili sauce.
Ohhh... doesn't it just sound delicious? The tempeh is warm and soft to the touch and it tastes like chickpea until you bite down far enough into the burger and BAM! Paprika explodes in your mouth like the taste of heaven.
It's so good I got it twice. In a row.

What can I even say?
It's a clossal venue - front yard table service, backyard on the water table service, and a huge two-storey warehouse inbetween where you can sit, order a pint and a snack or even full meal, and appreciate everything going on around you. The staff are dedicated and usually dress up for work.
I am flat-out in love with this place and went several times during my stay. They are always busy, which just means that everyone agrees on how good this place is. You can even get away with wearing beachclothes and flipflops too.
Favorite Dish: Veggie Nachos - the plate is hot but the food is brilliant. Any single one of the on-the-spot woodfired pizzas is awesome as well.

Now this is a nice quiet place to have a brew and spin some yarns - the space is warm and inviting, with both mood-lit outdoors and bright-lit indoor areas, and the drinks come in only one size: pint.
Unlike most of the places in Fremantle, they happily accept EFTPOS.
Drinks on tap are a wide range of beers including the entire James Squire's range from Golden Ale to Amber. Food
Favorite Dish: Salt and Pepper Squid with Coriander.
I don't eat fish, but my friend got this dish and it looked delish. Well presented and very, very fresh.

This "Tea Shop" (it's much more than that), serves hearty breakfasts, morning and afternoon teas, Devonshire teas, A La Carte lunches, take-aways and can provide special menus for groups .
Much of the china used is old and beautiful, and the seating is arranged in the same shop area as the antiques.
You can browse the antiques (lots of old china, glass, jewellery and bric-a-brac , as well as some items of furniture)while you wait for your food, and then choose whether to sit inside or out on the pavement.
Favorite Dish: The cakes all looked amazing, I had trouble choosing!
I ended up with a slice of creme brulee tart, and a cappuchino, it was absolutley delicious!

The Little Creatures Brewery is a locally owned an operated micro brewery. It is well situated with a rustic ambience and decor inside a big boat shed on the Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle.
The brewery is completely open for inspection and the delicious beers are poured straight from the tanks!
The restaurant is open all day and bookings are not required so you can just wander in whenever you like.
The bar and restaurant is open 7 days a week from 10am to midnight Mon-Fri.
Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to midnight.
Sorry folks... there aren't any pictures here because yours truly forgot to take his camera!
Favorite Dish: My favourite dish was the chilli mussels still in the shell still swimming in a spicy and rich chilli sauce. My only regret was that there wasn't enough bread to sop up the spicy juices!
The marinated octopus was also quite nice but I found it to be a tad sweet for my taste.
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to their own wood fired pizza's and I can thoroughly recommend the harissa spiced lamb with melenzana and feta. Also highly recommended is the prawn with coriander pesto and shiitake mushrooms.
Here's a sample menu
And it goes without saying that the simply delicious food is washed down with a "hoppy" Pale Ale or a refreshingly crisp Pilsner poured straight from the tanks behind the bar.

Want to experience fantastic food, great atmosphere and our Little Creatures famous beer?.... Then look no further than Little Creatures down near the warf at Freo.
The setting is a local brewery (fantastic beer) and the accompanying food is yummy!
Little Creatures is very popular so they don't take bookings but the way you get a table is very unique. Just stroll up to the counter, order a table and you get a glitter top hat which someone has to wear. When a table is ready they come out and look for your top hat. Cute hey :o) The ordering of food is different too. ....Mainly finger food, you order a few plates and all tuck in .... buffet style. And if you are still hungry, then just order a few more. :o) We have had a few lovely vt meetings here and if you would like us local vt'ers to join you, then just flick me an email and I'll arrange it.
Here's a link straight to our latest vt meeting at Little Creatures.

This brewery/restaurant has a buzz about it. It is lively, yet relaxed. Funky music plays, but not so loud that it interferes. We visited Little Creatures for lunch and sat on the balcony overlooking the water which added to the atmosphere. People all around us, yet it was not too noisy. It has alfresco dining, so you get that fresh, outdoors feel. Otherwise you can sit inside or under the olive trees at the front of the restaurant.
There is also an art gallery upstairs. This is a typical example of Perth people being casual and doing some of the things they like best. This is the Perth way of life.
The staff are particularly friendly and efficient. We were very impressed by the way they did their jobs.
Favorite Dish: Although we are not beer drinkers, Steve had a few pints of the "Pale Ale" for $7.00 each. He really enjoyed it. There is a wine list available too. I drank the NZ Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc for $6.50 per glass. Bottles are available for $30. It was a very nice wine.
We tried the grilled cajun squid with lime coriander mayo for $16.00. I was not overly impressed with it, however and would give it about 7/10. We then had an atlantic salmon, creme fraiche and capers woodfired pizza for $18, which was ~nice, I'd rate it at about 7.5-8/10. We had the harissa spiced lamb with melanzane and fetta pizza which was delicious and rated at 9/10.
The menu is extensive with some interesting combinations such as: haloumi, chickpea and watermelon salad for $13.00, blue cheese, pear and rocket pizza $15.00, marinated kangaroo with bush tomato chutney $16.00.
As with all restaurants in Perth, GST is included and no extras are payable unless you would like to tip your waiter (but not necessary).

Q: I'm curious to know if anybody knows the opening times and costs of the wheel? Thanks
A: Walked past it yesterday, looks good but did not check price. As holiday season in Perth including school holidays I would expect it to be operating by 9am.
