A laidback, riverside eatery with sundrenched dining, cool decor and top-notch fare.
With its blue and green tiling, terrazzo tables and soaring ceilings, there’s an effortless Freo charm here. Housed in an unassuming shed clasping the Swan River in East Fremantle, this casual eatery is inspired by Greek tavernas spilling out onto the Ionian Sea. And while it’s not quite on the ocean, you’re still in with a good chance of spotting dolphins cruising out front. The venue attracts scores of ladies who lunch, celebratory get-togethers and summer bar-hoppers who all luxuriate in its sun-drenched hospitality, perhaps relaxing in their bamboo-roofed outdoor patio. The kitchen, helmed by Kevin Park, turns out smart dishes like Shark Bay tiger prawns drenched in jerk butter, and lime and harissa lamb shoulder with dukkah and pita bread. Freshly shucked oysters go down a treat with a hot pick of European and Australian wines. Or, for something more carb heavy, try the top-notch fettuccine pasta with crab: served with a bright basil pesto, pine nuts and Grana Padano, it’s rich in flavour and texture.
