With its laid-back atmosphere, abundance of local seafood and produce, and a spate of young bars and restaurants encouraging slow afternoon drinking and dining, Mandurah has fast become a destination for discerning diners.
A short drive south of Perth city, Mandurah blends beachside charm with modern comforts, making it a go-to escape for city dwellers. Thanks to the town’s winding canals and estuaries, many of its best restaurants sit right on the water, offering menus packed with local seafood and breezy alfresco dining that embodies the coastal lifestyle.
Here are the best restaurants in Mandurah for a relaxed meal or sunset drink.
Brewvino
Bar Kitchen and Lounge on the Mandurah Boardwalk
With front row views of the marina and a sun-soaked alfresco deck, Brewvino nails the laid-back luxe of Mandurah’s waterfront. Part steakhouse, part bar, it’s all about shared plates, flowing drinks and good company.
Start with slow-cooked pork belly bites glazed in black vinegar caramel or half-shell Abrolhos Island scallops finished with XO butter. Coming with friends? The 12-hour slow-cooked whole lamb shoulder—served with pork fat potatoes, roast pumpkin, broccolini, garlic yoghurt, and lamb jus—is a hero dish.
The menu champions seasonal, sustainably sourced local produce—think standout seafood, premium beef and lamb—alongside a drinks list stacked with boutique wines and small-batch beers.

Hoodburger
Burger Restaurant in Mandurah Forum
A cult favourite among burger purists, Hoodburger brings its signature indulgence to Mandurah. Expect uber-juicy, super-cheesy, sauce-drippingly-good burgers built on succulent beef patties, classic American cheese, and plenty of pickles.
If you don’t know where to start, go for the honey butter sandwich—crispy chicken tenders bathed in spiced honey butter, cut through with just the right amount of dill pickles. Pair it with a Dr Pepper Cherry for the full experience.

Redmanna
Modern Seafood Restaurant on Mandurah Terrace
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of the estuary at Redmanna, Mandurah’s go-to for premium seafood. Pair that an ever-changing menu designed around the best locally available and seasonal produce—from Cervantes crayfish and Cone Bay barramundi to Stirling Ranges sirloin—and you’ve got a winning combination.
Despite the relaxed atmosphere and a lack of pretence, Redmanna doesn’t compromise on quality. The showstopper? The Redmanna Signature Seafood Tower—stacked high with crayfish, blue manna crab, banana prawns, natural and bacon-pineapple oysters, chilli mussels, Redmanna’s famous sambuca prawns, lemon pepper squid, and both grilled and tempura-battered fish.
While seafood is an obvious choice, the menu offers something for everyone—and the bread, pasta and sauces are all made onsite.

On the weekends, a Texan-style smoker is fired up, turning out tender, slow-cooked, woodfired ribs and a rotating selection of smoked meats and treats. Don’t skip the sourdough—made using the yeast recycled from the beer production process—it’s unmissable.
