An open, warehouse-style bar and eating space offering Mediterranean plates, an extensive wine list and picturesque riverside dining.

Situated on the river between the bridges in Fremantle, Jetty has two personalities: friendly bistro by day, busy bar by night. But whether you’re inside in the airy, open space or out by the water, the offering stays the same, driven by share plates that lean Mediterranean, and plenty of seafood.

The fish finger sandwich – featuring panko-crumbed fillet – is an elevated take on a childhood snack, with pickled onion and special sauce giving it a creamy, acidic lift. For something more hefty, Jetty has its own vertical rotisserie where orange and pimentón-spiced chicken is carved onto gyros spread with tangy cacik (that is, yoghurt and cucumber sauce) and fresh salad. The chicken is good, although it’s the soft pita bread that’s the star.

Pair it with aperitivo – Spritzes, Margaritas and ice-cold craft beers are in abundance – or let staff guide you towards something fresh and light from the wine list. Then add a plate of roasted heirloom carrots given edge with goat’s curd and honey, or share the stracciatella with rare coral-tooth mushrooms and a splash of chilli oil for kick. Before long, the afternoon will fade into evening, the sun setting and the good times rolling on.
