A culinary gem that captures the essence of modern Western Australian dining.
Cooee’s location, tucked into the old Swan Brewery right on the river, makes it a destination venue in itself. Step inside, and the interiors are modern and stylish to match, in keeping with the Australian heritage building, with warm wood accents and large windows overlooking the Swan River out to Elizabeth Quay.
There’s no reinventing the wheel here, with a menu that’s both fresh and seasonal, built to showcase Cooee’s commitment to sustainability and supporting local producers in dishes that are a testament to Western Australia’s diverse produce.

Mains see plates of protein take centre stage. A hearty, crisp-skinned fillet of goldband snapper, a local favourite, is complemented by a tangy yet delicate sauce with salty pops from capers. O’Connor Scotch fillet, seared to medium perfection and sliced precisely, is topped with chimichurri for herbal freshness (a side of hand-cut fries is a must).
Yet it’s the seasonal starters that truly shine, like in a dish of Torbay asparagus and new-season broad beans with exceptional La Delizia stracciatella, a celebration of spring’s bounty. A superb wine list with a WA tilt complements attentive service, the theme being a celebration of the state in a setting that shows it off at its best.
