This is within a cluster of great food places in an old synagogue and a fantastic venue for a delicious meal in Freo. The food is Southeast Asian Fusion. Reservations recommended.

One of my favourite places in Freo. This is THE PLACE for those awesome steak specials that Freo does so well. Thursday night is steak night and you won't need a reservation; just rock up. It's an outdoor venue but beautiful in the summer and they have good gas heaters in the winter.

This is the CUTEST pub in Freo! Located in the oldest part of town, this holds probably only about 30 people maximum. It's dimly lit with limited drinks menu but it's all about the ambiance — of which there is plenty! Seriously one of my favourite places in Freo.

One of my favourites...you'll need a car to get here as it's in East Freo but to have a beer and delicious meal right on the river is wonderful. They also do a great Sunday Roast!

Cottesloe is one of our best beaches. With the famous Indian Teahouse overlooking the ocean, you can sip champagne.
Or do as the locals do and grab some excellent fish and chips from Amber Jacks over the road, sit on the grassy steps and watch the sun set over the ocean.
