Bathers Beach House

We had family over and wanted a dinner with sunset views to farewell them, and Bathers Beach House did not disappoint. Making a booking for 6:30pm meant that we didn’t miss the scenic sunset nor did we have to rush.
First of all, this place looks nice. Almost brand new actually. There’s high bench seating as well as your standard tables that the waitstaff are more than happy to rearrange for larger groups. When we arrived, only half the place was filled but after another half hour or so, and almost every table had guests. Conversations echo through the venue so if you’re after a quiet intimate meal, you might want an earlier booking to avoid the crowd. That being said, it’s not quite loud enough to need shouting across the table.
It’s table service here and the waitstaff definitely know what they’re doing. A few of us weren’t sure what we wanted so each menu item was explained and a suitable beverage paired with our choices. Drinks were promptly brought out, with food not far behind. If you’ve got children, this place has decent kids meals– $ 10 includes a mains, a drink and ice cream.
I personally ordered the Alkaline Juice and the Roast Rump of Lamb. The latter of which came with pearl couscous, which at first was a little strange to me, but nonetheless delicious. Alkaline Juice– definitely a refreshing way to start. If you’ve never tried kangaroo, I’d recommend ordering the Pepper Berry Kangaroo starter to share.
And those sunset views– perfect way to end the day. If it’s clear skies, postcard perfect. Get out your iPhone and snap that delicious sunset up!

Went for breakfast this morning ordered eggs and arrived burnt not good also the venue is very noisy. I gave my two stars as the beach view was very good.
Summary good view below average food

Second visit much better than the first. A casual lunch outside provided beautiful beach views and tasty food. The chilli mussels in a coconut broth was both generous in size and flavour. Pork belly was selfish albeit a more petite serve. Overall a great casual lunch spot.

Prawn and salmon salad dressed realy well. Barramundi was near on the best I have had. Good coffee Great veiw and baby change facility

Went here last night with two of my friends. The weather was beautiful and we were lucky to get a good spot with the beach view. We ordered plenty of food to share starting with the salmon croquette, devil habanero wings, chilli mussell, crispy squid and a side of sweet potato chips. The food was ok, I would say the mussel is pretty good as the sauce is a bit different than in other place, it’s sort of creamy tomatoey base. However it was to our surprise that all the mussel still had beards! Which really was the biggest let down of rhe night. I’d say the food is ok and value for money. It’s a good place for a family dinner.

This place is what Perth should be known for. It has a large restaurant floor, both inside and outside with a view across the boardwalk and beach straight to the ocean, making it a fantastic place to watch the sun set.
The lunch menu was solid, including great options for the kids. My wife and I both enjoyed our meals and look forward to heading back during this summer!

Went for coffee. Ended up being such a good spot that we stayed and had the squid which was delicious! Good vibe and atmosphere.

Morish cocktails with interesting concoctions. Upstairs bar has a fantastic sunset and you can sneak around the southern balcony for a guaranteed seat.
I love that they have Matso’s on tap, the service can be a little slow though. They close the bar snacks menu at 5:30pm for dinner service, a tad annoying when there’s no tables in the dining room.
Bar snacks were delicious regardless, perhaps a little overpriced but you’re paying for the view.

Coming from Melbourne, I’m not easily impressed by Cafes but this one impressed me. It wasn’t so much the food and coffee that made this one stand out. That was good but not particularly noteworthy. The big highlight here was the view. Not only the outside tables but many of the inside ones too have fantastic views out over the gorgeous beach that is literally only a few meters away. The interior design is tasteful and spacious. The lovely location and view makes it a great place to relax with a coffee before a walk on the beach.

I think you really do have to be outside to enjoy this place to max. I sat inside and I feel old complaining about noise but for a restaurant setting the inside music loud and detracted from a relaxed beach vibe feel. Where I was seated you could see the sunset however we were sat perpendicular to the beach so it was easy to miss if you are sitting across from someone, possible suggestion would be to rotate tables at 45degrees so its easier to view the sunset.
The food was okay. ordered Japanese style oysters which meant it had roe, sake, and mirin added to it. The oysters tasted fresh however quite salty. Also ordered the salt and pepper calamari which was tender however the batter was not as crispy as I would have liked.
For mains we had barramundi which was cooked perfectly and was a great dish. I probably should have read the menu better when the open ravioli came out as I was expecting normal ravioli, it tasted okay but nothing to get excited about.
As this place is also a prime Sunday Sesh Venue there can be loud revelers still enjoying themselves once the place transitions into a dinner/​restaurant vibe which can lead to a less than desirable dinner atmosphere. It wasn’t to fun having my dinner next to a group of people where asses were getting slapped. Maybe best on weeknights if going for dinner.

Finally, a restaurant at a site that appears to have been left to linger for a while. Whether it’s a casual drink or meal, this is a great attraction for fishing boat harbour. The cocktails are lovely and the beef burger was fresh and tasty. Only suggestion would be a little more fresh seafood on the menu!

To kick off 2016 my fiancé and I decided the enjoy the hot sun and ocean and what better place to do it then on freo at the beach house!
This place has a wicked vibe, we rocked up with no booking for lunch and were offered high tables– don’t worry you can still see the sea! And we started lunch with a Hendricks and tonic and beer. The cocktail list is great– although I do wish more places had lychee cocktails. And the music was pumping some lantino/​Cuban style tunes.
Already in the vibe and soaking up the atmosphere we enjoyed the prawn linguine– delicious! And then the octopus and calamari. A real sea food feast.
My only criticism– if but small, was the bread that came with the occy would have been much nicer if it was toasted and warm. Otherwise everything was brilliant.
Will be back here in the summer :-)

At first from the outside, you get the sense of a tranquil getaway nestled into a little cove on the outskirts of the Freo boat harbour. However, on entering the building you are greeted with a bustling family friendly boat shop styled restaurant and bar.
We were lucky enough to get a seat by the window with an exquisite view of the beach. We sat down took a load off and enjoyed watching the chopping tide come in.
The menu is dotted with various treats and has a string emphasis on sharing so that it exactly what we did. The tables are displayed elegantly and the fresh flowers add a sense of vibrancy to the table.
We ordered the charcuterie tasting platter and some sea salt & pepper squid with romesco sauce. The presentation of the meals was exceptional and added to the excitement at the sight of the feast. There was certainly enough to go around and we were, as two ladies pushing ourselves to get all of the tasty bites down. The bacon and thyme terrine is really excellent and so are the arancini balls. The food is a little pricey but you certainly get added value from the presentation and the view. It’s all rounder restaurant that won’t disappoint and you can stroll along the beach at your leisure.

A great place to unwind in the evening and to watch the sunset. Sweet potato fries were delish but there could always be more aioli. Rum cocktail was devine too. I will be back.

Great wine and great food!
A group of girlfriends and I had lunch here a few Saturday’s ago, has a beautiful view and was so nice and relaxing.

Really enjoyed my lunch here. I went for a work meeting and it was such a pleasure to dine in what I fondly remember as Maccas by the bay. Love the decore which borders the Hamptons beach shack meets fresh Aussie colours. Then there’s the outdoor setting with its beach fold out chairs (very French Rivera) but not that it sans alcohol. The service was good, the staff were helpful, happy and didn’t walk past you when you needed their attention. The menu is super casual so don’t expect fine dining but what is on offer is tasty, filling and well made. The wine list was a bit average but the beer list was good and extensive. I can see this place giving the ‘ol Little Creatures a run for their money and being a potential Cruise Ship/​Tourist mecca. Overall, really quite impressed.

The old Maccas in Freo has now become a cool and trendy beach bar boasting awesome views of the ocean.
I arrived here in the evening so not too sure what it’s like during the day I’m sure beachy and spectacular :)
The place was really hip and happening there were a lot of people enjoying their Saturday night, there was a good vibe going on.
Drinks and food were fairly affordable and had a good selection of beers, ciders, wines and cocktails. I drove so didn’t get to try a cocktail but will try one next time :)
The staff were friendly and happy to be working there. It would be an awesome sundowner on a Sunday.
Would love to try this place again! Great views, awesome atmosphere and affordable drinks what more could you ask for :)

This is a great new bar in Fremantle.
Set right beside the beach & a food market that is there on a Friday & Saturday night (I presume only through summer?)
Considerable cocktail list, substantial wine/​sparkling wine/​champagne/​beer/​cider list.
Exceptional girls day out, sitting outside on one of the benches. Ordered food but seems you can only order sides when outside. I ordered the side salad & sweet potato fries which hit the spot perfectly, especially after a gin cocktail, followed by a vodka cocktail.
Staff were very attentive & friendly.
It seems to be a very busy place. Definitely will be going back for some sundowners.

Why are there not more places like this in Perth???
Such a perfect location, right on the beachfront with everything you need in one place. Inside there is the restaurant and bar with upstairs and downstairs seating and outside the shaded picnic tables or sun loungers on the beach. All with gorgeous views of the ocean. I met Mariea C at the train station and it was only a short walk down from there.
We were lucky enough to score a table outside, thanks to the lovely Michelle D. The place certainly fills up and as the sun is setting the crowds start coming in. Early afternoon was a great time to get there for a spot outside. We sipped on delicious cocktails and overloaded ourselves on spuds, two lots of fries, potato salad and a garden salad. Sitting in such a great spot across from the Sunset Markets we were entertained by local artist Steve Tallis.
You will find me here a lot in Summer!

Bathers Beach House opened in Freo today! Hardly recognisable from it’s days as a McDonalds followed by many years of being empty. They have also taken over the upstairs part which has had a series of unsuccessful restaurants.
Caribbean coconut milkshake mocktail is the bomb! Lemon sorbet, passionfruit, banana, mango, mint and coconut water served in an icey cold stainless steel cup with a paper straw.
We went with a cheeseboard to share and by the time we helped the kids finish their fish & chips we were full!
AMAZING views over the water!
They don’t take bookings so be prepared that it could be busy once it warms up as this will soon be a popular spot.
