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.

"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..."

"Walking for ten minutes as the Freo Doctor’s salty mistral mingles past the century old terraced homes, restored warehouses and urban apartments of Fremantle’s West End, you will arrive in a otherwise unassuming street a block back from the Cappuccino Strip. It’s here that Strange Company effortlessly weaves good design, great service and, of course, glorious beer into a modern yet mid-century influenced space that was once a wetsuit factory. The local focus on the eight venue owned taps may not stray into the esoteric ends of craft beer, however there is enough on offer to keep the crawler happy."

"Open for just over a year, Strange Company has already made its mark on historic Fremantle as a uniquely modern venue with a refined and open aesthetic. Their Spanish-inspired tapas menu, featuring Jerusalem artichokes, duck and pork rillettes and mushroom croquettes, are perfect for a table for two. With their wide variety of local beers and wine, you won’t be strangers for long!"

"The Mantle is a hip dining experience concept perfect for those who can’t decide on what to eat. The Mantle was established in a historic warehouse. It holds multiple restaurants, bars, and a kitchen for preparing different foods."

"The Mantle houses several restaurants inside a beautiful historic warehouse. It is designed to be an activity hub for creative minds and foodies alike. Presently there are two permanent restaurants in the space."

"A sprawling courtyard space, great grub, live bands and a solid selection of craft beer awaits at the last stop on this most epic of harbourside Crafty Crawls. Whether you’re winding down or just getting started (if the latter is true, we hope you’ve spread yourself thin) there could be no better dock than The Norfolk Hotel at which to drop anchor. While the Norfolk’s taps are dominated by Lion’s range, there is a rotating list of crafty options as well."

"Over 20 years, the Istanbul Turkish Restaurant has surely secured its place among the Freo favourites. This unpretentious and casual restaurant ensures that you’ve had a dining experience to remember. The Istanbul Turkish Restaurant is home to original Turkish bread."

"Situated a short stroll from Fremantle Railway Station, Norfolk Hotel provides guests with an ideal base when visiting Perth. It provides free Wi-Fi and is a stone's throw from Fremantle Markets and well-known attractions."

"Chalkys bills itself as the best of Fremantle’s West End, and it’s hard to disagree when you’re tucking into something from the huge all-day breakfast menu washed down with a top-notch cup roasted by renowned Melbourne institution Dukes. This industrial-chic café is quintessentially Fremantle, occupying the huge arched windows of the historic Fremantle Municipal Tramways Building."

"Guide to the Best Cafes in FremantleLocated at the “best end of the west end” is Chalky’s Espresso Bar. Chalky’s prides in awesome coffee that has to be tasted to be appreciated, made from in-season, and current-crop. Fantastic food, great service, and a relaxed vibe are its other features."

"Fremantle you’ll find the Roundhouse – one of the biggest drawcards in Fremantle. It’s the oldest public building in Western Australia and is well worth exploring while you’re here. At the base of the building, you’ll find Chalky’s."

"A staple in the playground arena is Heathcote Reserve in Applecross. This large pirate ship playground was restored in 2017 and given a fresh coat of paint, new wooden decking, new handrails and sand."

"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."

"The Newhaven Estate Robot Park in Piara Waters is unlike any of the parks that are found in Perth. Catering for kids of all ages, it has an industrial robot theme throughout, with a mixture of sand and water-related featured. Its key feature is the brightly coloured giant robot’s head where kids can climb through it and go down the slide that’s hidden in the middle."

"The team from Young George has ventured down the road to open up Ethos – a zero-waste, Eastern European-leaning neighbourhood deli and dining room. House made charcuterie and small goods and killer sarnies are just the tip of the iceberg, with the bar’s offerings just as exciting a prospect if you’re there later in the day (or earlier, who are we to judge?). 88 George Street, East Fremantle"

"Open Friday nights 6-10pm at the Mantle, Bumplings is a relatively new opening by Masterchef contestant Brendan Pang. Located at the Sunshine Harvester Works, this Airstream dumpling kitchen is slinging out some outrageously delectable dumpling dishes that include tofu and kimchi (you won’t even realise these are vegan, you’ll be so hooked) or pork and prawn dumplings with bang bang sauce, black vinegar and Pang’s chilli oil. If you’re not drooling yet, your first bite will definitely get you there."
