Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Cairns

"When it comes to the most beautiful restaurants in Fremantle, Bread in Common certainly will take the cake. High ceilings, glowing single-strung light globes, wheat husks adorning the tables and an open kitchen that shows the chefs at work like a beautifully choreographed dance. The food is designed to share, and we recommend you start your meal with their wood-fired organic bread and a selection of their dips and spreads such as the sweet garlic butter with fennel salt or white bean with rosemary and saltbush."

"Bread In Common has become one of the most reliable dining experiences in Freo – always quality, always cosy. We’ll never go past the lamb ribs, but the seasonal menu is also host to plenty of winners. That’s without delving into the now-ubiquitous namesake bread, that seemingly revolutionised the city’s collective palate and forced countless restaurants and bakeries to up their bread game."

"Maybe we just had our heads in the sand, but it took us an embarrassingly long time to get switched on to the magic of Manuka. Luckily, everyone else isn’t so slow on the uptake – the restaurant has collected plenty of accolades and rave reviews in the meantime. The restaurant champions all the good low-waste, sustainable, seasonal, farmer-direct stuff we love to hear – although that doesn’t mean much if the food doesn’t speak for itself."

"Relying almost exclusively on a wood-fired oven, the kitchen at Manuka is tiny, but it's still big enough to turn out some of the tastiest food in town. The passionate chef has become an expert at taming the... Top ChoiceModern Australian in Central Perth"

"Nestled in a beautiful heritage building in Fremantle, Young George on George Street is a unique neighbourhood bar with a serious focus on food. Purveyors of craft wine, beer, cider and spirits, grab a table at the bar and settle in with friends for an after-work catch up as a buzz of lively conversation surrounds you and peruse a globally inspired menu of share plates. Rusticity abounds with stone walls with brick feature archways, polished concrete and black table settings, while the downstairs cellar is an ideal area for private parties and group bookings."

"Relive your youth at the Young George, a two floor unique bar and bottle shop located in East Fremantle. Although their wood fire is an integral part of their cooking, their bar focused, globally inspired dishes are all produced using seasonal and local food. If ‘You’ve Been Tangoed’ or you’re ‘Just Peachy’, you can’t help but enjoy their cocktails all night long."

"Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle, Perth Region, Western Australia MorningCruise down the Swan River to the charming port of Fremantle, its streets filled with stories of convicts, maritime heroes, murderous mutineers and pioneers. Taste the past on a tour of Fremantle Prison, the state's first jail and largest convict built structure, and check out Western Australian Maritime Museum, overlooking the Indian Ocean, which features the winning America's Cup yacht, Australia II, an Oberon class submarine and the 17th century Dutch Batavia shipwreck."

"Even if you’re not, Little Creatures beer has made a name for itself over the years not only in WA but all over Australia. Pop in to try the famous Little Creatures Pale-Ale accompanied by one of their amazing wood-fired pizzas."

"Try everything on tap – particularly the Pale Ale and Rogers. The floor's chaotic and fun, and the wood-fired pizzas ($20 to $24) are worth the wait. Shared plates ($8 to $27) include kangaroo with tomato chutney..."

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"If you’d stumbled upon Leeming’s family-run Ichirin for a quick lunch on the go, it would be easy to file it away as a particularly good, neighbourhood shopping strip takeaway joint. And while the casual lunch fare is, to give credit where credit’s due, extremely well executed – you’d be doing both Ichirin, and yourself, a disservice: the omakase is where it’s at. When it comes to seafood, chef Shiro Okuchi knows his stuff, and the chef’s choice omakase menu is the perfect way to showcase the union of Japanese culinary excellence and West Australian produce."

"Serpentine Falls makes for a beautiful swimming spot just under an hours’ drive south of Perth. The falls are only a short walk from the car park in Serpentine National Park. You can often see Western Grey Kangaroos in the picnic area and stunning wildflowers during spring."

"To watch the sunset you have the choice of driving a little further up the road from the carpark and watching from your car, however it is definitely worth it to take the 5 minute walk, sit on the platform next to the falls and bath in the golden light. This is always a stunning location to relax, with the waterfall beside you, the city in front of you and the hills surrounding you. While you’re there make sure you check out the many great hiking trails available as well!"

"At Lesmurdie Falls National Park not only will you discover stunning views over the Swan Coastal Plain from the lookout platforms, in Spring you will be able to enjoy flowing falls and blooming wildflowers. Also, be sure to pack a picnic to truly make a day of it."
